Abstract: The components are electrostatically coated esp. with different colors. The sequence, in which units are moved to the coating appliance is pre-determined by an automatic sorting system, dependent upon the material to be used. The units are grouped, and the units in a group to be coated to be coated with a first color, are supplied alternating with units of a second group, to be coated in a different color. The applicators are refilled during the period, in which the other group is being treated.

Abstract: The filter material is placed in the lower half-shell of the sump, which is held in a lower tool, and the upper half-shell is located correctly on it by an upper tool. A vacuum is applied to produce a hermetic seal and the edges are then joined by vibration welding. Correct alignment is ensured by pegs in the upper tool that engage in the lower tool.  The location of the filter material is checked, e.g. with a camera, before the tool is closed. The upper shell has a pump connection, which is blocked before placing it in the tool. After the complete sump is removed from the tool, metallic bushes are fitted for the attachment bolts.

Abstract: A steering control comprising two handles (32G, 32D) is used. The shaft includes at least one angle of rotation sensor, and a sensor detecting the turning force applied to the handles. The driver is able to rotate the handles about the support shaft, or apply a specific force in order to displace the vehicle sideways, without altering longitudinal direction. <??>For a vehicle having all wheels used for steering, directional commands are transmitted electrically. A control akin to a steering wheel is used, comprising two handles (32G, 32D) each situated a similar distance from a rotary shaft in symmetrical configuration. The shaft includes at least one angle of rotation sensor, and a sensor detecting the turning force applied to the handles. The driver turns the handles in the direction indicated (F1) in order to turn the vehicle to left or right. The driver also applies a pivoting force (F2), tending to extend the left handle (32G) to displace the vehicle to the left without changing the longitudinal direction, or a similar pivoting force on the right handle (32D) in order to displace the vehicle to the right without changing its longitudinal orientation.

Granted: 2008-05-07
Abstract: The invention relates to solid compositions that can decompose generating hydrogen in a self-sustaining combustion reaction after this reaction has been initiated by an appropriate heat source. These compositions comprise an alkali metal borohydride and an oxidizing mineral ammonium salt of formula NH4Y, in which Y represents a group consisting only of nitrogen and oxygen. The ratio of the weight content of alkali metal borohydride to the weight content of the salt of general formula NH4Y is between 1 and 4. Thus, high hydrogen mass yields are obtained, of around 8 to 14%, thereby making it possible to reduce the size and the weight of the hydrogen generators used in certain systems, especially in proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Abstract: Rotating type viscosimeter having a motor (2) for driving a rotating assembly (3) extending through an aperture (4) into a liquid to be tested (1) and measuring the shear forces imparted by said liquid (1) to the rotating assembly (3) . In order to prevent said liquid (1) from leaking through the aperture (4) due to a liquid pressure (p1) at the level of the aperture (4), the viscosimeter comprises means for creating a counter-pressure (p2) at the level of a gap between the rotating assembly (3) and the aperture (4). Thanks to this counter-pressure (p2), no solid sealing means are required, thereby improving the durability and the robustness of the viscosimeter, as well as simplifying it by eliminating countermeasures otherwise needed for taking into account parasitic friction forces exerted on the rotating assembly (3) due to such solid sealing means . <IMAGE>
