This device (D) comprises, on the one hand, calculation means (MC) designed, in the event of receiving a duration Ds for which the battery (BA) will no longer be used and an outside temperature Te around this battery (BA), so as to determine rates of auto-discharge of the battery (BA) for various initial states of charge as a function of factors of auto-discharge acceleration and of outside temperature Te, and final states of charge on expiry of Ds starting from the various initial states of charge and as a function of ageing acceleration factors and auto-discharge rates, and, on the other hand, selection means (MS) designed to determine an initial optimal state of charge to which corresponds the final state of charge which is close to, from above, a chosen threshold, so that it is applied to the battery (BA) so that the latter exhibits this final state of charge on expiry of Ds.

The present invention relates to a pressure holding device (10a, 10b) for a resin-injection system (100) comprising an injection network connected to an injection mould (20), characterized in that it comprises pressurizing means suited to injecting a pressurized gas into a pipeline (64); a first coupling means (11) designed to be connected to said resin injection network and designed to be connected to said pipeline (64); a second coupling means (12) designed to be connected to said injection mould (20) of said injection system (100); said first coupling means (11) being coupled to said second coupling means (11) by a pressure holding pipeline (13) designed to receive said pressurized injected gas.

The method for eliminating acidic compounds contained in a gaseous effluent consists of placing into contact, in column C1, a gaseous effluent 1 with an absorbent solution 4 comprising an aqueous solution of one or a plurality of dihydroxyalkylamines having one of the formulas (I) and (II).

The present invention relates to a filtration device (10) comprising at least one support member (12) able to be driven rotationally about an axis (X) of rotation, at least one flyweight (14) able to oscillate in a plane of oscillation orthogonal to the axis (X) of rotation, and a system (32) for guiding the flyweight (14) relative to the support member (12), characterized in that the guidance system (32) comprises at least two rolling bearing elements (34), each rolling bearing element (34) being able to collaborate with a pair of opposed raceways, these respectively being a first guidance raceway (40) borne by said at least one flyweight (14) and a second guidance raceway (42) borne by said at least one support member (12), said first and second guidance raceways (40, 42) being arranged to guide the oscillatory movement of the flyweight (14) relative to the support member (12) both radially and axially.

The invention relates to an expression cassette for modifying the genome of bacteria, for example that of Escherichia coli, or for modifying a vector in a bacterial strain. The present invention also relates to a method for modifying the bacterial genome by means of homologous recombination, as well as to a method for modifying a vector by means of homologous recombination in a bacterial strain.

The invention relates to an annulus gear for an epicyclic reduction gear set comprising an inner ring (3, 3') comprising internal teeth able to mesh with planet gears of the epicyclic reduction gear set. The annulus gear further comprises a housing (1, 1', 1") comprising means for securing it to a cylinder head, and at least one damping means (51, 52, 53, 71, 72, 73, 74, 51', 52', 53', 71', 72', 73', 7A, 7B, 7C) for absorbing a spike of energy between the ring (3, 3') and the casing (1, 1', 1") when the ring (3, 3') turns relative to the casing (1, 1', 1") in one direction of rotation, in which direction the ring (3, 3') is able to rotate with respect to the casing (1, 1', 1") between a rest position and a compressed position.
