20140109893 | LONGER-LIFE SOLAR POWER PLANT RECEIVER - A solar receiver with a longitudinal axis, including an absorber, a beam extending over an entire length of the solar receiver and configured to suspend the receiver in the power plant, a protective envelope mounted around the beam and including a thermal insulator surrounding the beam, the protective envelope configured to protect the beam from heating due to solar flux, the beam and the protective envelope configured to slide one with respect to the other along the longitudinal axis. | 04-24-2014 |
20130248453 | METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES IN A LIQUID - A device concentrating particles in a liquid. The device includes a magnet facing a side wall of a receptacle, free to move vertically to progressively reduce volume facing it, in which magnetic balls carrying the particles of interest accumulate, so as to concentrate these particles. | 09-26-2013 |
20100320088 | MICRODEVICE FOR TREATING LIQUID SPECIMENS - A device for forming at least one circulating flow, or vortex, at the surface of a drop of liquid, including at least two first electrodes forming a plane and having edges facing each other, such that the contact line of a drop, deposited on the device and fixed relatively to the device, has a tangent forming, when projected onto the plane of the electrodes, an angle between 0° and 90° with the edges facing each other of the electrodes. | 12-23-2010 |
20090115283 | High-deformation composite microresonator - An electromechanical resonator including a vibrating body, at least one excitation electrode, and at least one detection electrode. The vibrating body includes a first part made of a first material with a first Young's modulus and a second part made of a second material with a second Young's modulus, less than the first Young's modulus, the second part being at least partially located facing the detection electrode. | 05-07-2009 |
20080307793 | Brazed Joint Between a Metal Part and a Ceramic Part - An assembly including a metal piece, a piece made of ceramic material, and at least one intermediate connection element assembled to each of the pieces by brazing. The intermediate connection element includes a deformable sheet presenting at least two flat zones brazed to respective ones of the pieces, the two flat zones being interconnected by a deformable zone presenting at least two free undulations oriented in alternation towards the metal piece and towards the piece made of ceramic material. | 12-18-2008 |
20080219305 | Method and Installation for Laser Cutting/Welding - A laser cutting/welding installation including a laser head configured to deliver a laser beam designed to generate a solder bath, the installation also including a cooling device for the laser head. The cooling device includes at least one vortex tube, supplied with compressed gas, the tube including at least one cold gas outlet connected to the laser head for cooling thereof and at least one hot gas outlet. | 09-11-2008 |
