    摘要: A railway geogrid construction is suitable for use with high speed trains to mitigate the increased impact of Rayleigh waves generated at high speed and/or over soft subgrades. The construction includes a track bed which defines a track located on a track plane, a mass of particulate material such as an aggregate forming a layer located beneath the track plane, and a geogrid located in and/or below the particulate mass in a geogrid plane substantially parallel to the track plane where the average distance between the track plane and geogrid plane, measured perpendicular to both, is greater than 0.65 metres.

    摘要: The invention relates to a holding device for cards and/or money, in particular to the use of U-shaped holding devices for credit cards. The invention relates to a holding device (100) for cards, money, or the like, comprising a first plate (101) and a second plate (102) with smaller dimensions than the first plate (101). According to the invention, the second plate (102) lies over the first plate (101) and is connected to the first plate (101) on at least two sides, and the second plate (102) has a region (102a) which tapers outwards on one side not connected to the first plate (101).

    摘要: An agricultural photovoltaic structure (1) is described comprising at least one support structure (2), photovoltaic panels (3) and glass (4) supported by the support structure (2), irrigation means (7) for an underlying agricultural land (6), lighting means (5) of the underlying agricultural land (6), and control means. The support structure (2) comprises at least one frame (23) able to support, side by side, both the photovoltaic panels (3) and the glasses (4), implementing a cover over the agricultural land (6) partly suitable for diffusing light over the underlying agricultural land (6) by the glass (4), The irrigation means (7) include nozzles able to wet the lower part of the photovoltaic panels (3) thus cooling them, the water then falling by gravity onto the agricultural land (6). The control means are able to activate the irrigation means (7) and the lighting means (5) on the basis of sensors.
