Title: Method of monitoring internal faults in electrical equipment and device for the implementation of this method
Inventor: LACROIX BERNARD
IPC: H02H1/04
Filed: 1986-07-08
Abstract: A threshold, with which the device 100 compares the difference IE - IS of the input and output values of a current passing through the equipment 8, is variable with the half-sum (IE + IS)/2 of these values, so as to increase with it. When this half-sum passes through a maximum, the threshold preserves substantially the value corresponding to this maximum for a predetermined duration, by virtue of a peak-detection circuit 21 followed by a storage circuit 22.

Patent FR-2601629-A1 (FR)
Title: Sculpting apparatus
IPC: B25D11/06
Filed: 1986-07-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for making relief or indented forms by the use of a tool known as a gouge. This tool, which is of some selected shape, is subjected to repeated blows causing it to penetrate the material, which may be wood, stone, certain soft metals etc. Acting through a gear wheel 3, a motor 1 fixed to a plastic body 19 causes a spindle 4, on which two flyweights 7 and 8 of equal mass are mounted, to spin. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the flyweights 7 and 8 is used to produce a rapid and repeated percussion on a hammer 12 which is placed in contact and whose position can be adjusted. When the user exerts pressure on the body 19 of the apparatus in the direction of the incision, the tool penetrates and cuts the material.

Title: Syringe which is rendered inoperative after the first use
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 1986-11-17
Abstract: The present invention consists in creating devices which prevent re-use of medical disposable syringes, for reasons of hygiene and safety. The syringe according to the invention is characterised in that, on the one hand, the body 8 of the piston and the base of the reservoir 1 comprise means which, by interacting with each other, create an air intake into the body 8 of the piston, and in that, on the other hand, it comprises safety devices. The means which interact with each other in order to create an air intake comprise at least one projection which is, or is not, integral with the reservoir and is situated in its lower part, and at least one purposefully weakened part in the lower part of the piston, such that when the piston occupies a position of maximum insertion in the cylinder, the projection pierces the weakened part of the piston or pushes a plug and thus prevents any repeat use of the syringe.
