Abstract: Cette invention concerne une commande d'embrayage destinée à un embrayage de véhicule poids lourd dans laquelle des éléments de commande se déplacent vers l'arrière et s'éloignent d'un moteur (21) pour dégager l'embrayage (24) dudit moteur et pour entrer en contact avec un disque de frein d'embrayage (44). Une paire d'un ensemble d'actionneurs (34) coopérants sont montés indépendamment en des emplacements fixes sur les côtés d'un carter en cloche (23) qui renferme l'embrayage (24). Les actionneurs (34), qui sont disposés à l'écart d'un axe longitudinal de l'embrayage (24), produisent une force résultante qui est sensiblement colinéaire avec l'axe longitudinal de l'embrayage (24). Les actionneurs (34) sont dotés de tiges-poussoir (42) qui peuvent se détendre vers l'extérieur et se déplacer vers l'arrière lorsqu'une pédale (30) est poussée de façon à débrayer ou se déplacer vers l'avant lorsque la pédale (30) est relâchée de façon à embrayer. Les tiges-poussoir (42) entrent en contact avec un élément mobile (37) qui est centré sur l'axe de l'embrayage (24) doté d'une partie latérale externe (69) destinée à empêcher la rotation du disque de frein d'embrayage (44) lorsque l'embrayage (24) est dégagé.

Abstract: In the process of drawing optical fibers, a
protective plastic coating is applied to the fiber by
applying a curable liquid coating material thereto and the
subsequently curing the liquid coating to a protective
plastic layer. At high fiber draw speeds, air entrained
with the fiber enters the liquid coating material and
causes bubbles in the cured coating. The incidence of
bubbles in the coating is reduced by replacing air
adjacent the fiber surface with helium.

Abstract: An oscillatory circuit with variable resonant frequency, includes variable resistance gas sensor(s). Resistance is a function of the gas concentration(s) in the mixture. The signal generator (26) applies an oscillatory measurement signal to the gas sensor (32). Its output frequency is a function of the sensor resistance. The derivative of the signal applied, is essentially constant over time. Preferred features: The signal generator applies a measurement signal to the sensor, of which the derivative is constant over its entire measurement range. In a similar circuit, a measurement signal is applied to the sensor(s), having constant amplitude and/or form over the entire measurement range. The measurement circuit includes a stage (26) producing the basic oscillatory signal, a conversion stage converting this to the measurement signal, and a measurement stage combined with the gas sensor. In addition the measurement signal- and or the measurement stage are connected to form an oscillatory circuit. Its characteristics vary with gas sensor resistance. The measurement signal generator stage (26) is an operational amplifier constructed as a bandpass comparator with hysteresis. The measurement signal conversion stage (27) is a band pass filter stage. The measurement stage (28) is an operational amplifier connected as an integrator. The sensor is connected to its first input and a further input is connected to the measurement signal conversion stage output. A high resistance semiconductor gas sensor is used. The operational amplifier includes capacitative feedback. The measurement stage is an operational amplifier, its first input connected to the output of the measurement signal conversion stage. The gas sensor is connected in its feedback path. The sensor is has a low ohmic resistance, and is semiconductor-based. In a variant with dual gas sensors, they are connected such that either or both modify the characteristics of an oscillatory circuit. Further interconnections are detailed, and the potential-matching circuitry is described.
