The companies will transfer to the joint venture their world-wide business of powerline communication, one of the means of creating a no-new-wire home network between various devices located throughout the home, the other two being phonelines and wireless communications.

The joint venture will design, develop, manufacture and sell powerline communication products whose purpose is to make Internet and other information accessible through electrical wires.

Cable carriers, tractors or tractor carriers must be held by counter-weights or by a device allowing permanent control of the tension.

Annex II A.With the wire ropes tensioned, the wedging beam shall be placed firmly behind the rear wheels and then fixed to the ground.1.2.3.If the tractor is of the articulated type, the point of articulation shall in addition be supported by a wooden block at least 100 mm square and firmly lashed to the ground.1.2.4.The pendulum block shall be pulled back so that the height of its centre of gravity above that at the point of impact is given by one of the following two formulae, to be chosen according to the reference mass of the tractors subjected to the tests:H = 25 + 0,07 mt for tractors with a reference mass of less than 2 000 kilogr ...[+++]ams,H = 125 + 0,02 mt for tractors with a reference mass of more than 2 000 kilograms.The pendulum block must then be released so as to strike the protection structure.1.3.Impact from the side1.3.1.The tractor shall be so placed in relation to the pendulum block that the block will strike the protection structure when the impact face of the weight and the supporting chains or wire ropes are vertical unless, during deflection, the protection structure at the point of contact forms an angle to the vertical.

The position of the centre of gravity of the block shall be one-sixth of the width of the top of the protection structure inwards from a vertical plane parallel to the median plane of the tractor touching the outside extremity of the top of the protection structure.If the structure is curved or protruding at this point, wedges enabling the impact to be applied thereon will have to be added, without thereby reinforcing the structure.1.1.2.The tractor shall be lashed to the ground by means of four wire ropes, one at each end of both axles, arranged as indicated in Figure 5 of Annex IV. The front and rear lashing points shall be located at ...[+++] a distance such that the wire ropes make an angle of less than 30g with the ground.
