Inventor: TRANCHON GEORGES
IPC: B62D6/10
Filed: 1990-03-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a power-assistance device for the rotation of a shaft, comprising, in a fixed housing (104), a power-assisted motor (106) on a driven shaft portion (102) acting as a function of the relative displacement of a drive shaft portion (101) connected to said driven shaft portion via a torsion bar (103), and also detection means (110) in said housing to detect any disalignment between the two shaft portions concerned (101, 102) in order to provide power assistance by a command to the associated motor (106) when a disalignment is detected. According to the invention, the detection means (110) comprise on the one hand a wheel (141) attached to the drive shaft portion (101) but able to slide axially relative to the latter, and a double proximity sensor (145, 146) mounted on the fixed housing (104) to give a supplementary detection of the direction of rotation, and on the other hand transmission rods (147) connecting the driven shaft portion (102) to said wheel in order to move the latter in either axial direction, proportionally to the relative disalignment between the two shaft portions (101, 102). Application particularly to power-assisted steering for motor vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plastic in the fluid state is injected into a flexible closed mould (2, 3) comprising a moulding cavity (6) into which the edge of the window (5) is placed. The plastic is injected into the cavity (6) of the mould in the inert state and then activated by high-frequency electromagnetic radiation or by microwave radiation. An insert (22) is put into place in the cavity (6) of the mould before the injection of the plastic. The injection and the subsequent curing of the plastic are carried out within the cavity of the mould (6) in which are disposed, during these operations, the edge (5a) of the window (5) and the insert (22) in their final relative positions on the window in the processed shape. The invention may be used for producing windows for a motor vehicle, comprising inserts constituted by trim strips of decorative purpose or elements having a functional purpose such as conduits, cables or fixing screws. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a micromagnetometer with capacitive detection constructed as follows. Two superimposed thin conducting layers (1, 3) are separated by an insulating interface (2) and formed on an insulating substrate. The upper layer at least is etched in order to incorporate a layer segment (4) joined at its ends by two parallel strips (6, 7) at right angles to the segment. The said segment and a part of the strips, together with the corresponding parts of the lower layer, are situated above a recess in the substrate. A conducting surface (14) is formed in the recess in the substrate, at least opposite the said segment. Means are provided for an electrical connection to the two strips in order to connect them to a current source, and means are provided to measure the variations in capacitance between the lower thin layer and the conducting surface.

IPC: H05K5/00
Filed: 1990-01-16
Abstract: A housing for appliances comprises two shells (20) one of which forms the upper wall (22) and one of the two upper parts (24, 26) of the side walls and the other forms the lower wall and one of the two lower parts of the side walls. The two shells (20) of the housing can be releasably interconnected by fastening means arranged on the parts (24, 26) of the side walls and which exert a clamping force on the parts (24, 26) of the side walls in order to hold them together. When assembled, the two shells (20) of the housing have a rectangular front opening for interlocking reception of a front plate. The fastening means are hooks (34), preferably projecting, essentially parallel to the free edge (32) of the parts (24 or 26) of the side walls and are arranged in an easily accessible manner on the outer surface (30) of the parts (24, 26) of the side walls. The hooks (34) of the two parts (24 or 26) of each side wall point in opposite directions. A lock (40) provided on its inner face (46) with a nose (48) pointing towards the hook (34) and adapted to the latter is arranged on each side wall. When the housing is assembled, the hook (34) and the nose (48) engage mutually.

Abstract: Esterification is carried out in a column reactor (14) in which there is a plurality of esterification trays (15) each having predetermined liquid hold-up and containing a charge of a solid esterification catalyst thereon. e.g. an ion exchange resin containing a -SO3H and/or -COOH groups. A liquid phase containing the carboxylic acid component, e.g. a fatty acid mixture, flows down the column reactor from one esterification tray to the next downward one against an upflowing alcohol vapour stream, e.g. methanol vapour. Relatively dry alcohol vapour is injected (21) into the bottom of the column reactor. Water of esterification is removed from the top of the column reactor in the vapour stream (26), whilst ester product is recovered (23) from the sump of the reactor. As the liquid flows down the trays it encounters progressively drier alocohol and the esterification equilibrium reaction is driven further and further towards 100% ester formation. A polishing reactor (304) operated under liquid phase conditions may follow the column reactor, the ester-containing product from which is mixed with further alcohol before admission to the polishing reactor.

Title: Continuous chemical heat pump system for producing heat/or cold.
Inventor: SCHUURMAN EIKO ALBERTUS
IPC: F25B1/00
Filed: 1990-11-15
Abstract: This invention discloses an extremely simple chemical heat pump system, utilizing the chemical reaction heat of a perfectly reversible chemical disassociation reaction system, wherein one gaseous compound is involved in said reversible reaction. The present system can realize a large coefficient of performance over a very attractive temperature range and level for general use, by absence of any phase transition. Reaction kinetics of said system is excellent since only one reversible non-flammable gaseous compound is involved in said chemical heat pump system. Said system can be provided with a computer controlled system for changing the restriction value of the expansion valve. The said system is superior to most conventional compression system by replacing the use of ozone (layer) attacking C.F.C's (chlorofluorocarbons) over the entire temperature range.

Abstract: Un objet principal de l'invention est de détecter des étincelles ou des arcs (12) dans des circuits électriques (13) ou de détecter un spectre d'une large bande de radiofréquences instantanées et distinctes dans des bruits de radiofréquence. L'invention permet de rejeter des signaux étrangers de bande étroite présentant des fréquences dans la large bande, au moyen de filtres (21, 27, 29) ou d'un appareil mélangeur équilibré (22-39), notamment. Le mélangeur (37) peut être alimenté à partir du duplicateur de signaux de radiofréquences (32, 33, 34) ayant une entrée (25) couplée à une source du spectre, une première sortie pour un spectre dupliqué par le duplicateur connectée à une entrée (35) du mélangeur, et une seconde sortie destinée à l'autre spectre dupliqué par le duplicateur et connectée à l'autre entrée (36) du mélangeur. Dans une variante, le mélangeur de radiofréquences (37) peut recevoir la sortie d'un générateur de bruits à large bande (68) à son autre entrée (36, fig. 5). Une combinaison d'une multiplicité de radiofréquences distinctes et instantanées indicatrices du spectre ou de l'arc (12) est détectée, par exemple avec un détecteur de combinaison de fréquences (42) dont une entrée (40) est couplée à la sortie (38) du mélangeur de radiofréquences.

Abstract: A multilayer detergent tablet containing an outer layer, a barrier layer and an inner layer. The tablet releases sequentially ingredients contained in the outer layer and ingredients contained in the inner layer. The time interval between the release of the outer layer ingredients and the release of the inner layer ingredients is controlled by the particular choice of an ingredient for the barrier layer and the relative thicknesses of the inner layer, the barrier layer and the outer layer. The tablet is able to separate in time the dissolution of incompatible ingredients such as an enzyme and a chlorine bleach. The tablet also provides sequential release of a dishwashing composition and a rinse aid composition such that cleaning is accomplished prior to the release of the rinse aid.
