Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'entraînement pour véhicule hybride, comportant un générateur (16) accouplé mécaniquement à un moteur (11), un moteur d'entraînement (25) commandé par au moins un courant généré par le générateur et un courant fourni par une batterie (43), des moyens de détection de l'état de la batterie, et des moyens (90) pour fixer un couple cible du moteur d'entraînement en fonction de l'état de la batterie. Etant donné qu'un couple cible du moteur d'entraînement est fixé en fonction de l'état de la batterie, le couple du moteur d'entraînement n'augmente pas même si on enfonce sensiblement une pédale d'accélérateur pour que la vitesse du véhicule augmente soudainement. Etant donné que l'alimentation en courant du moteur d'entraînement n'augmente pas, l'état de la batterie ne diminue pas soudainement. Etant donné que le couple de générateur ne réduit pas et que le couple moteur peut être supporté, l'explosion du moteur peut être empêchée.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de chauffer de par dessous une plaque de microtitrage à cupules par rayonnement infrarouge dans un évaporateur centrifuge, une plaque barrière étant en contact direct et périphérique avec le fond des cupules. Cette plaque barrière, qui est conçue pour transporter l'énergie thermique jusqu'aux cupules et leur contenu, a été choisie de façon à arrêter les rayonnements dont la longueur d'ondes se situe entre 200 nm et 3000 nm. La surface de la plaque barrière devant recevoir les cupules comporte une pluralité de douilles dans lesquelles s'enclipsent les fonds aveugles des cupules. La plaque est conçue pour s'adapter entre le dessous des cupules et une monture porte-échantillons oscillante de l'évaporateur centrifuge, ou une balancelle de monture porte-échantillons oscillante, deux balancelles au moins venant s'empiler l'une au-dessus de l'autre dans un tel évaporateur. La plaque est conçue pour tenir en entier dans l'enveloppe de la paroi externe de la plaque à cupules. Ses dimensions font qu'il y a un intervalle entre le bord externe de la plaque barrière et l'intérieur de la paroi externe de la plaque à cupules. En outre, des protubérances sur tout ou partie des bords de la plaque barrière touchent l'intérieur de cette paroi externe, et maintiennent en place la plaque à cupules par frottement.

Abstract: The invention relates to cartridges for portable barrelless weapon for self- defense. Said weapon can be used by civil persons for self-defense by shooting with traumatic elements. The inventive cartridge comprises a cartridge case, a powder charge, an ignition element embodied in a form of an electrical ignition fuse and a gas generator pressed into the cartridge case, in addition to a traumatic element embodied in the form of a rubber bullet provided with a metallic core which prevents the extraction of the bullet. The bullet is rolled inside the body of the gas generator. The electrical ignition fuse and the gas generator can be embodied in the form of a single part or be embodied separately. The cartridge case can be made of a high resistance aluminum alloy or reinforced plastic material. The inventive traumatic element for a barrelless weapon is made of a flexible metal and embodied in the form of a bullet provided with a metallic core which prevents the extraction of the bullet. The bullet consists of two parts, i.e. the head part and the tail part connected with each other with the aid of a strap. The tail part of the bullet has an external diameter which is less than the diameter of the head part. The bullet can be made of rubber. The invention excludes the possibility of bad wounding by the cartridge and the bullet at a distance equal to greater than 1 meter and ensures a stopping effect at the distance equal to or less than 10 meters. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for operating and arrangement of a pneumatic piston engine. The pneumatic piston engine (1) includes a cylinder (2) including a piston (3) kinematically joined via a crank (4) to a crankshaft (5) and a working chamber (6) supplied with a means (7) for supply of compressed air and a means (8) for exhaust of air. The starting of supply of compressed air is realized while the piston (3) is in the region within the range from 40° before top dead center to 25° after top center by angle of rotation o the crank of the crankshaft depending on engine speed, and the ending of supply is realized while the piston (3) is in the region within the range from 0° to 90° after top dead center by angle of rotation of the crank of the crankshaft. In particular case when engine speed is 2.12 s<-1>, the optimum mode of operating is achieved provided that supply of compressed air starts when the piston (3) is in position of 2° before the top dead center and ends when the piston (3) is in position of 5° after the top dead center by angle of rotation of the crank of the crankshaft. The invention provides decrease of specific fuel consumption approximately by a factor of 5-6 and simultaneous increase of the piston specific power.

Abstract: Radio antennas are aligned with each other for the creation of a fixed radio link, by temporarily mounting a powered actuator on an antenna forming one end of the link, the actuator being arranged to adjust the alignment of the antenna, controlling the movement of the actuator over a range of alignments, measuring the variations in the properties of a signal transmitted over the link as the actuator is moved, identifying an optimum actuator position, and locking the actuator in the optimum position. By using a powered antenna, it is possible to control the alignment of several antennas from a single convenient location. Once the antenna has been secured in the selected position the powered actuator may be recovered for use elsewhere.
