20080203047 | Guiding Device for Masts Sliding in Each Other, Telescopic Arm and Guiding Process - A device fixed to a first mast cooperates with a contact area located on the outside face of a second mast sliding substantially coaxially in the first mast. The device includes guide units including a roller mounted free to rotate about an axis orthogonal to the axis of the masts, a pad with a bearing face, and a device for displacing the axis of the roller perpendicular to the contact area of the mast, as a function of forces applied by the mast on the roller. The bearing area of the unit on the mast is thus formed by the roller only, or the roller and the pad. | 08-28-2008 |
20080251392 | Process For Changing an Anode In an Electrolytic Aluminium Production Cell Including Adjustment of the Position of the Anode and Pot Tending Machine For Implementing It - The purpose of the invention is a process for changing an anode of a cell for the production of aluminium by fused bath electrolysis ( | 10-16-2008 |
20090238665 | HANDLING DEVICE FOR HOODS OF A CELL FOR ELECTROLYTIC ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION - A handling device for hoods of an aluminum production cell by fused bath electrolysis, including a positioning device and a hood-gripping device. The positioning device includes a vertical guide device, a mobile support mounted on the guide device so that it can be moved in at least a vertical direction during use, an articulated arm, a first framework mounted on the articulated arm so that it can pivot about a first rotation axis A substantially horizontal during use, a motor to make the first framework pivot about the first rotation axis A, a second framework mounted on the first framework so that it can be moved along the first translation axis B that is substantially horizontal during use, and means of displacing the second framework along the first translation axis B. The hood-gripping system is fixed to the second framework and includes a set of gripping devices designed to grip a set of hoods at a number of fixing points. | 09-24-2009 |
20090250355 | METHOD FOR MAKING ANODES FOR ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION BY FUSED-SALT ELECTROLYSIS, RESULTING ANODES AND USE THEREOF - Method for manufacturing anodes used for the production of aluminium by fused bath electrolysis, said anodes comprising an anode stem made of a conducting metal and at least one block made of carbonaceous material called an anode block, said method including at least the following steps: | 10-08-2009 |
20100116653 | SERVICE MODULE WITH AT LEAST ONE ANODE CLAMP AND MEANS FOR APPLYING A FORCE OR A SHOCK ON THE ANODE ROD - A tending module for a series of electrolysis cells designed for the manufacture of aluminum by igneous electrolysis, each cell including a series of anodes provided with a metal rod designed to fix and electrically connect the anodes to a metal anode frame. The tending module includes a frame to be fixed to a mobile component, and at least one anode handling unit connected to the frame. The module also includes, integral with the anode handling unit, an activator that can exert at least one force or impulse on the anode rod, with a force such that, although the stem is firmly maintained in contact against the anode frame, the contact surfaces are moved in relation to each other by an amount sufficient for electrical contact to be improved. Advantageously, the activator is a jack or an impulse generator integral with the anode clamp. | 05-13-2010 |
20100172544 | METHOD OF MEASURING, ON THE FLY, THE HEIGHT OF AN ELECTROLYSIS ANODE - An on-the-fly method for measuring the length, along an axis (z′z) of an anode ( | 07-08-2010 |

20090127335 | ELECTION SYSTEM ENABLING COERCION-FREE REMOTE VOTING - Election system enabling coercion-free remote voting wherein a remote voter transmits his/her selected vote to the election authority through a data transmission network such as the Internet network by using a host computer having a card reader, the vote being transmitted after the voter has introduced an identifying smart card into the card reader. At least one secret code is recorded into the smart card at the location of the election authority at the moment when the latter delivers the smart card, the secret code having to be input by the voter into the host computer when the voter wants to vote during an election in order for the vote to be transmitted to the election authority and validated by the election authority. | 05-21-2009 |

20100251671 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREPARING AND PACKAGING WAX, SUCH AS SCENTED WAX FOR USE WITH WICKLESS CANDLES, AND OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS - Systems and methods for preparing and packaging scented wax for use with wickless candles, and for preparing and packaging other types of wax and non-wax products, are disclosed herein. A wax product manufacturing machine configured in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure can include a container loading assembly that loads a plurality of empty product containers onto a conveyor for transfer to container filling assembly. The container filling assembly can simultaneously fill the plurality of empty product containers with colored and/or scented wax. The manufacturing machine can further include a cooling assembly through which the filled wax containers move for cooling and hardening of the wax therein. The manufacturing machine can additionally include a discharge assembly that closes the product containers to encapsulate the wax product therein, and transfers the closed product containers to a labeling machine for automatic application of a suitable label. | 10-07-2010 |
