Abstract: A pipe comprising at least one flexible duct, wherein the pipe comprises at least one stiffening band, which is pressed against the duct over at least some of its length, extends along a longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the axis of the duct and has, at least in one state, considerable rigidity along the longitudinal direction, the stiffening band being configured to deform elastically between a rolled-up state, when the cross sections of the stiffening band are rectilinear, and an elongate and rigid state, when the cross sections of the stiffening band are curved. An aircraft comprising at least one such pipe.

Abstract: A tool for laying a sealing strip around a protruding part of a connecting element protruding from a bearing surface, the laying tool including an annular duct having an outer surface configured to delimit, with the bearing surface and the protruding part, a cavity when the annular duct is positioned around the protruding part and in contact with the bearing surface, the annular duct including at least one orifice for supplying pasty composition and outlet orifices for injecting the pasty composition into the cavity to form the sealing strip. A method for laying a sealing strip using the tool is disclosed and an aircraft with at least one sealing strip obtained using the method.

Abstract: A pipe of an air duct comprising, from the interior toward the exterior, an internal layer, at least one insulating intermediate layer, an external layer and at least at one of its ends a pipe coupling distinct from the internal layer including a first end section that cooperates with the internal layer in sealed manner and a second end section not covered by any of the layers that is configured to cooperate with a connection system. Thus, no clamp of a connection system exerts compression forces on the internal layer of the pipe, which consequently is not necessarily reinforced by means of fibers.

Abstract: A drainage valve comprising a through hole, a seat around the through hole, a shutter comprising an end face and movable in a longitudinal direction between a first position in which the end face of the shutter is away from the seat and a second position in which the end face of the shutter is pressed against the seat and blocks the through hole, and an elastic element configured to keep the shutter in the first position. The shutter has a recess, emerging at its end face, configured to introduce therein a part of a tool in order to temporarily secure the part of the tool and the shutter in order to displace it in two directions longitudinally.

Abstract: An electrical connection device including a first end-fitting secured to a first part of an electrical cable, including a first cylindrical lateral surface coaxial to a first axis and a first end surface forming a first angle with the first axis, a second end-fitting secured to a second part of an electrical cable, including a second cylindrical lateral surface coaxial to a second axis and a second end surface forming a second angle with the second axis equal to the first angle, and a holding system configured to hold the first and second end surfaces pressed against one another. The first and second end-fittings are directly in contact with one another and held in contact via a holding system coaxial to the first and second end-fittings and supported by the latter, which contributes to obtaining a compact device.

Abstract: A boom for an electrical harness, including a straight bar extending in a longitudinal direction, and several supports distributed along and attached to the bar, to which supports at least one electrical harness is connected in operation. The bar includes at least two parts configured to slide relative to one another in the longitudinal direction so that a length of the bar can be adjusted.

Abstract: A seal includes a barrel extending between a base and a top, in which the barrel has a cylindrical cavity passing through it between its base and its top, and a skirt indissociable from the barrel and extending around said barrel, in which the skirt adopts the shape of a dome of which the exterior edges extend out beyond the base starting from the top. The seal is able to divert the fluid and keep the space under the skirt fluid tight.

Abstract: The dynamic system is part of a dynamic apparatus having at least one photovoltaic generator, at least one battery and at least one device for controlling the dynamic apparatus. The method for controlling the dynamic system on the basis of sunlight involves electrically isolating the photovoltaic generator from the battery, reading the no-load voltage of the photovoltaic generator, determining a numerical value on the basis of the no load voltage, corresponding to the no-load voltage reading, and comparing the predetermined numerical value with at least one reference threshold value. When the predetermined numerical value corresponds to a value range limited by at least one such reference threshold value the dynamic system is controlled so as to thereon confer a configuration corresponding to the value range.

Abstract: The dynamic system is part of a dynamic apparatus having at least one photovoltaic generator, at least one battery and at least one device for controlling the dynamic apparatus. The method for controlling the dynamic system on the basis of sunlight involves electrically isolating the photovoltaic generator from the battery, reading the short circuit current of the isolated photovoltaic generator, determining a numerical value based on the short circuit current, said numerical value corresponding to the reading of the short circuit current, and comparing the numerical value determined with at least one reference threshold value. When the numerical value determined corresponds to a value range limited by at least one such reference threshold value, the dynamic system is controlled so as to thereon confer a configuration corresponding to the value range.
