Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure poreuse présentant des zones en matière poreuse et des zones en matière non poreuse ou à porosité réduite. De préférence, la structure est formée, selon une configuration désirée, en zones poreuses et à porosité réduite et en zones poreuses. Cette structure à motifs est formée par affaissement de parties déterminées de la structure poreuse, qui se présentent sous la forme du motif désiré correspondant aux parties non poreuses ou à porosité réduite, tandis que les parties restantes de la structure demeurent poreuses. L'opération d'affaissement des zones déterminées s'effectue, de préférence, par l'emploi de la chaleur et/ou de la pression et, éventuellement, à l'aide d'un solvant d'adoucissage ou d'un mélange solvant/non-solvant. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour n'importe quelle structure poreuse polymérique, quelle qu'en soit la dimension des pores, et s'appliquer par ultrafiltration ou microfiltration, suivant n'importe quel procédé, tel que la gravure, l'allongement, le coulage, le frittage ou l'extrusion. Il est en outre applicable à des tissus tissés ou non tissés. La structure poreuse/à porosité réduite ou non poreuse peut être utilisée seule ou en association avec d'autres couches (telles que des couches supplémentaires de structures poreuses ou des couches de base poreuses, les unes et les autres pouvant contenir ou non des zones poreuses/à porosité réduite ou des zones non poreuses correspondantes), ou des couches de base à porosité réduite ou non poreuses (telles que des films ou des plastiques), qui peuvent comporter des ouvertures correspondant aux zones poreuses de la structure, telles que des plaques ou des cartes à cupules multiples.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un filtre à liquide, notamment un filtre à huile pour un moteur à combustion interne, comprenant un carter de filtre (2) et un élément central pratiquement tubulaire (6) qui s'étend à l'intérieur du filtre. Dans une position de fonctionnement, cet élément central vient coopérer par derrière avec une partie saillante (8) se trouvant sur le carter de filtre et est maintenu dans ce dernier de façon imperdable. Cet élément central peut être désengagé de cette partie saillante et peut, dans cette position de démontage, être retiré du filtre de manière non destructive. Cet élément central est monté de manière à pouvoir tourner autour de son axe longitudinal dans le carter de filtre. Un élément de maintien (10), monté de manière à pouvoir tourner de façon limitée dans le carter de filtre, entoure l'élément central au moyen d'un ajustement serré ou bloqué de manière à empêcher sa rotation et à le fixer dans sa position de fonctionnement. Il est possible de faire tourner l'élément central pour le faire passer dans sa position de démontage, en dépassant la force de serrage ou de blocage.

Abstract: Le problème posé par les cellules solaires au silicium cristallin tant classiques que nouvelles est l'isolation électrique des couches dopées à conduction de type p et à conduction de type n. La présente invention résout ce problème d'une manière simple et élégante. A cet effet, une pâte de masquage est appliquée localement sur au moins une face du substrat en silicium, puis séchée. Ensuite une diffusion de la matière de dopage est réalisée, le type de conduction de la matière de dopage étant opposé à celui du dopage de base du substrat en silicium cristallin. Au cours de l'une des étapes de fabrication suivantes de la cellule solaire, les contacts électriques sont appliqués de manière telle qu'au moins une partie des contacts est séparée électriquement par la pâte de masquage du reste des contacts. La pâte de masquage permet ainsi une séparation électrique des deux contacts externes d'une cellule solaire du fait que la diffusion d'une matière de dopage est empêchée par ladite pâte. Les autres procédés qui permettent d'obtenir les mêmes résultats sont considérablement plus compliqués et leur utilisation est plus onéreuse.

Abstract: A disk brake cylinder having a bore for retaining a piston (5) connected by an input shaft (11) to a parking brake mechanism. The input shaft (11) is rotated to provide linear translation of the piston through a ball ramp mechanism to effect a parking brake application. The ball-ramp mechanism includes a first groove (5) located on a face (11') of the input shaft (11) and a second groove (15') located on a face (13') of the moving member (13). The first (15) and second (15') grooves retain and trap a plurality of balls (14) and have escapement zones (16,16') with a convex surface that extend from a bottom (26) of the groove (15). The plurality of ball (14) in a rest position are located near the bottom of the convex surface but never touch the bottom (26) and as a result initial rotation of the input shaft (11) provides for non linear translation of the moving member (13) such that as the ball initially roll up the convex surface at a fast rate to take up the play in the mechanism and then moves then moves the moving member (13) at a slower rate to effect a brake application.
