ORTHOPEDIC PROSTHESIS CONTAINING A MICRO-VIBRATOR FOR GROUND CLOSENESS WARNING
The present invention relates to an orthopedic prosthesis comprising a micro-vibrator that is activated when the foot on which the prosthesis is worn is close to the ground. This solution warns the wearer about their foot potentially about to step on the ground abruptly. This abrupt movement could harm the operated limb. Thus, the proposed solution warns the user in the form of vibrations, thereby allowing the user to react instantly and keep the foot off the ground.

Abstract
Energy storage device based on a combination of two types of energy storage: gravity potential energy storage and storage by elastic potential energy stored in the springs. The system consists of a deep reservoir (1) filled with water, in which a heavy piston (2) is placed. The piston divides the reservoir (1) into two chambers, (3) and (4) which are linked by an inner duct (5). The latter passes through a reversible turbine pump (7) placed inside the piston (2). Two spring packs (10) are placed on either side of the piston (2). The lower pack consists of tension springs while the upper pack consists of compression springs (10). Excess energy generated by the renewable sources is used to compress the compression springs (10) and extend the tension springs (11) during the movement of the piston caused by water pumping. In the event of an energy requirement, the descent of the piston in addition to the elastic potential energy stored in the springs is used to press the water and operate the turbine-generator which supplies energy to the consumers.
The present invention relates to an endodontic instrument, in particular an improved dental file or drill of the mechanized type, making it possible to overcome the problem of the instrument fracturing inside the root cavity, facilitating the extraction of the broken part by means of an extraction wire. This wire, being accommodated inside the instrument along its central axis, makes it possible to ensure the attachment of the broken part of the instrument and permits its manual extraction by the user in a simple, reliable, effective and efficient manner.
The invention relates to a gravitational energy storage system using compressed air, which is based on a combination of two types of storage, namely gravity storage and compressed-air storage. The system is made up of a water container linked to a cylindrical structure in which a heavy piston is positioned, a reversible pump-turbine for pumping the water, raising the piston and thus storing the energy in a gravitational potential form, and an air compressor linked to a pressurized container for storing the energy in the compressed air while the piston is being raised. This system makes it possible to increase the energy storage capacity of the existing gravitational storage system.
The invention relates to a method combining data-engineering and machine-learning techniques in order to study the effect of the presence of a police officer on driving behavior. The invention consists in using data resulting from crowdsourcing reporting the presence of a monitoring mechanism of any kind (radar, monitoring point) using web-scraping and data-filtering techniques in order to obtain GPS coordinates of these locations, and also to road navigation platforms for obtaining information describing the types of road for which the points are obtained, and the corresponding average speeds. Thus, and for each monitored point, we apply a search mechanism to an adjacent location (to within 500 meters) that is not monitored, and which shares the same features. We thus study the distribution of the deviation of the average speeds between each pair of points.
The present invention relates to a method for deploying a new firewall security for computer networks in order to attenuate the various risks of a current policy. The procedure involves updating an initial security policy (I) on the basis of an algorithm that automates this procedure and minimizes the inherent security risks at the time a new security policy (T) is deployed. This is achieved by creating an intermediate policy (R) that progressively receives the new rules (T) to be implemented and in a specific order. The deployment procedure according to the invention comes to an end when the policy (R) is equal to the target policy (T).
This invention relates to a process for managing a laundry service using RFID technology, especially the identification of laundry, which is carried out manually using tickets and payment receipts.

MICRO-VIBRATOR SYSTEM INCORPORATED INTO PLASTER CASTS
The invention relates to a micro-vibrator system incorporated into plaster casts in order to prevent the damage caused by a patient, suffering from a broken leg that has been operated on, putting weight on that leg. The patient, through negligence or oversight, puts weight on their injured leg and causes collateral damage, namely causes the internal screwed plate to deform. This invention allows a patient who has been operated on to avoid putting pressure on their operated-on leg, by means of a micro-vibrator alert. The invention relates to a system made up of two parts: • a medical sole made of silicone containing a micro vibrator bonded directly to the (highly sensitive) sole of the foot which will be surrounded with plaster, or attached to the skin of the leg by a hook and loop fastener • a metal soleplate fixed to the outside of the plaster cast and superposed with the internal sole, this soleplate containing two metal push-button switches, one on the front of the foot and one at the rear of the foot. In the event of error, as soon as the front of the foot or the rear of the foot is in contact with the ground, one of the switches activates the micro-vibrator and the patient will then stop putting load through the floor in order to avoid inexorable damage.

The Rotor-Rotor wind turbine is a system having a wind generator that is more efficient than existing systems, owing to an innovative system that allows the armature (coil) and the magnet to rotate. Electrical power is delivered as a result of technology using a system of carbon brushes fixed on the coil and two copper rings fixed on the rotation shaft. Therefore the rotation of the coil is made possible without any twisting of the rows of contacts. In the case of strong winds, the increase in the eddy current can generate resistance and can drive the coil in the same direction as the magnet. This scenario is avoided owing to a back-stop bearing system. Therefore the system continues to produce electrical energy like a standard Rotor-Stator system.
