The suspension has at least one actuator means 21, 22, able to vary the distance H of at least one portion 10', 10" of the upper frame 10 relative to the base 11 of the bed and means 24-26 able to elastically support said portion 10', 10" of the upper frame; there is provided a system of sensor means which are activated following relative displacements between the sensor means S1, S2 and a locatin...

A system of navigation that derives the velocity vector without the use of an inertial navigation system (INS). The system uses the motion of the scene viewed by the imager in the imager's field of view (FOV) in order to calculate the aircraft velocity. The motion of the image points in the FOV due to the motion of the aircraft is referred to as the optical flow. It is well known that the optical ...

Process of the reduction of unpleasant odours normally generated in a sewage plant, said process comprising continously introducing an aqueous solution of glyoxal having a pH of less than 3 into aqueous effluent passing from sedimentation tanks into consolidation tanks in the sewage plant.

Machine for the collection of olives from the ground, which may be towed by a tractor, and which includes one or more fans (4, 5) which supply pressurised air to a distribution chamber (6) from which conveyor pipes (7) lead, with an intermediate contraction (7a) defined by a Venturi, to finally empty out into a collection hopper (12). After the contraction (7a), the pipes (6) include sections (13...

A sprocket assembly for bicycles includes at least two sprockets with different diameters arranged side by side, the larger diameter sprocket having a tooth for supporting the chain during the displacement of the latter from the smaller diameter sprocket to the larger diameter sprocket.
