Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for fabricating a high-precision object made of at least one inorganic material, comprising the following steps: using a high-resolution photolithography process, employing X-rays or UV rays depending on the desired degree of precision, in a chosen direction Z, to form a negative mould, which does not deform at the microscale during the steps of the process, in a material able to withstand a step for forming the object by dry deposition and possibly either being removed without altering the object fabricated or being separated from said object; choosing, independently of the normal redox potential of its constituent elements, at least one inorganic material from the set of materials that can be deposited by dry deposition and that allow the object to be fabricated to meet its thermomechanical and environmental specifications; and forming, by means of the non-deformable negative mould, the object to be fabricated by dry deposition of said at least one inorganic material, thereby allowing an object to be fabricated with better than microscale precision, especially with respect to the angle between the walls generated by the dry deposition and said direction Z. The invention is preferably applied to the fabrication of high-precision micromechanical objects, in particular in the aeronautical and clock/watch-making fields.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a cross antenna system comprising linear sub-antennas and to the associated processing. More specifically, the invention relates to an antenna system (1) comprising several antennas, each antenna consisting of first (2) and second (3) linear sub-antennas which are each equipped with a plurality of sensors (21-2M, 31- 3N) forming respective line segments and generating a basic signal (Si', Gj'), the angle between the directional vectors of the tangents to the midpoint of the first and second line segments being between 30° and 150°. The sub-antennas of the different antennas form a reception lobe including essentially one plane. The invention also comprises a device (8) for calculating the correlation coefficients ([C ij ]) between the combined useful signals originating from the line segments of one antenna; and a device (8) for generating a detection signal ([Rij]) when a correlation coefficient exceeds a pre-determined threshold.

Abstract:
The pod (12) of a turbofan (10) comprises a front structural element (30) the external surface of which is continuous and extends over at least 50 % of the pod geometrical chord. Furthermore, said element (30) is mounted on guiding and maintaining members (44), such as sliding rails, which prevent important deformation in flight and enable the element (30) to slide towards the front for maintenance. Thus a laminar air flow is ensured around the front half of the pod (12).
Abstract:
In order to mount several satellites (12) side by side in the nose cone of a single launch vehicle, without any danger of their colliding upon separating, an adapter device (14) is interposed between each satellite (12) and support plate (10). At launching, the adapter devices (14) are in a transport position requiring little space. When a satellite is to be separated, its adapter device (14) moves to a separation position where the satellite (12) is tilted away from the adjacent satellite(s).
