Abstract: A caliper for a disc-brake includes two side walls at a distance from each other which delimit a space to accommodate a portion of a brake disc. The side walls are connected to each other by a connecting structure which straddles the disc space. Each of the side walls delimits at least one seating capable of accommodating a pad. The caliper comprises a thrust to clamp the pads against the brake disc. The thrust is secured to the side walls in such a way that the side walls absorb the entire clamping force and the seatings are capable of securing the pads so that the side walls also absorb the entire braking moment. The connecting structure comprises arc-shaped shells, connected so as to be integral with both the side walls. The slenderness of the shells expressed as the ratio of thickness to circumferential extension relative to an axis of rotation of the brake disc is less than 17/100.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide an inverted vertical
lathe comprising a device for replacing collets automatically,
and having a detector for detecting that the collet has been
gripped correctly. A chuck 400 mounted on a headstock 40 grips
a collet 500 in a replaceable manner via a tapered bore 430 provided

collet 500 is gripped correctly by the chuck 400 on the main
spindle is detected in advance, and this pattern is compared
with the variation pattern of the eccentricity detected by the
present detection, and thus, whether or not the collet has been
gripped correctly is detected.

Abstract: The voltage controlled oscillator comprising a ring oscillator outputs an oscillating signal of
which the duty cycle is almost 50% in spite of the high frequency. Each of the delay
inverting circuits (10,20,30) in the ring oscillator varies the output signal from the "L" level to the "H"
level for the constant delay time tr when the input signal varies the "H" level to the "L"
level. It also varies the output signal from the "H" level to the "L" level for the variable
delay time tf in response to the delay control voltage Vc when the input signal varies the
"L" level to the "H" level. The output signal from the ring oscillator comprising the delay
inverting circuits (10,20,30) is applied to another delay inverting circuit (40). The another delay inverting
circuit responses at the constant delay time tr when the input signal varies the "H" level to
the "L" level, and responses at the delay time tf/2 in accordance with the delay control
voltage Vc when the input signal varies the "L" level to the "H" level. As a result, the
another delay inverting circuit outputs an oscillating signal of which the duty cycle is almost
50%.

Abstract: A DC-to-DC voltage converter having an active charge/discharge circuit enabling
the definition of any output voltage within its operating range has been achieved.
A comparator compares the output voltage of a voltage converter with a defined
reference voltage. This reference voltage can be easily modified within its
operating range. In case the output voltage of the voltage converter is higher than
said reference voltage a "reservoir" capacitor at the output of said voltage is
discharged via an active charge/discharge circuit until the output voltage equals
said reference voltage. Said active charge/discharge circuit is activated via a latch
by said comparator. The invention is applicable for any type of DC-to-DC
converters, such as e.g. charge pumps, buck converters and boost converters.
