Title: Mesure gyroscopique par un gyroscope vibrant
Inventor: LIGNON CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2009-10-16
Abstract: Un système gyroscopique fournit des mesures sur la base d'un gyroscope vibrant, qui vibre dans une première position de vibration et fournit un signal de mesure. On lui applique un signal de commande périodique, sur une période de temps : pour faire tourner (11) la position de vibration dans un premier sens, pendant une partie de la période de temps, provocant un changement, selon un premier profil de vitesse, depuis la première jusqu'à une seconde position; et pour faire tourner (12) la position de vibration dans un second sens opposé au premier sens, pendant l'autre partie de la période de temps, provocant un changement, selon un second profil de vitesse, depuis la seconde jusqu'à la première position. Les profils de vitesse indiquent une variation de vitesse du changement de position. Les mesures (13) fournies par le système sont alors basées sur un signal corrigé obtenu en retranchant le signal de commande au signal de mesure du gyroscope.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a keypad comprising at least one push-button switch (13) and a key (15) making it possible to operate the switch (13) along a translational axis (X). It relates to taking account of the geometric dispersions of the keypad, to the lengthening of the travel of the key (15) and to the enhancement of the tactile sensation when the key (15) is pressed to operate the switch (13). The invention finds a particular, but not exclusive, utility in the instrument panel of an aircraft.     According to the invention, the keypad comprises a plunger (31), interposed between the key (15) and the switch (13), of which a stiffness along the translational axis (X) increases continuously with an increase in the compression of the plunger (31).  Therefore, the slight stiffness at the beginning of compression allows a long travel of the key (15) and the greater stiffness at the end of compression gives a good tactile sensation with an assured contact even when there are off-center pressures on the key (15).

Abstract: A magnetic core for an electromagnetic device is formed from alternating interleaved steel laminations. The core comprises a plurality of core elements comprising legs and yokes oriented substantially quadrature to the legs, such that abutting core elements are in substantially quadrature relation. A plurality of flux deflection zones are defined in regions where flux flows from one core element to an abutting core element. At least one of the layers has at least one core element composed of grain-oriented steel, and the remaining core elements are composed of non-grain-oriented steel, such that at least some flux deflection zones are composed of a substantial amount or substantially entirely of non-grain-oriented steel. Flux flowing in the direction of the grain orientation in the core element(s) composed of grain-oriented steel changes direction to flow through the abutting core element in the flux deflection zone composed of non-grain-oriented steel. This reduces the power losses in flux deflection zones of the core relative to cores formed entirely from grain-oriented steel, because the flux is never flowing perpendicular to the direction of the grains in the steel, while providing a design that is considerably less expensive than cores formed from non-grain-oriented steel with substantially the same level of power losses or lower.

Abstract: A splitter divides an air/product mixture flow, delivered thereto in an air- powered distribution line, between a primary and a secondary distribution channel, which may be flow-coupled to a product hopper or a hose flow-coupled to another product hopper or another splitter. The air/product mixture enters the inlet of the splitter along a first flow path and exits a primary outlet, flow-coupled to the primary distribution channel, along a second flow path generally in-line with the first flow path. Air/product flow is exhausted by a secondary outlet, which is flow--coupled to the secondary distribution channel, at a sideward flow path relative to the first and second flow paths. The velocity flow vector along which the air/product mixture is exhausted from the secondary outlet is at an angle perpendicular to the velocity flow vector along which the air/product mixture is received by the inlet of the splitter.
