Abstract: Selon l'invention, l'alignement des roues d'un véhicule est déterminé au moyen d'un système de mesure de position permettant d'indiquer les positions des roues sur le véhicule à l'aide de cibles, de visualiser les cibles de façon à obtenir les emplacements des positions de ces roues, et de calculer une relation entre les roues avant et arrière. L'alignement est facilité par calcul des voies avant et arrière et par comparaison du résultat de ce calcul avec une plage de valeurs de référence correspondant aux voies avant et arrière. On peut également calculer les empattements gauche et droit, le résultat de ce calcul pouvant être comparé à une plage de valeurs de référence correspondant aux empattements gauche et droit. Il est aussi possible d'obtenir les mesures du décalage et de l'obliquité. L'invention concerne un système de mesure de position informatique servant à déterminer l'alignement des roues d'un véhicule.

Abstract: L'invention concerne deux alimentations séparées utilisées pour générer des potentiels électriques servant à commander des électrodes en ligne et en colonne d'affichages à cristaux liquides. Un ou plusieurs dispositifs de stockage d'énergie sont de préférence utilisés avec les deux alimentations pour générer de tels potentiels. Dans la première phase, les dispositifs de stockage d'énergie sont chargés et, dans la deuxième phase, ces dispositifs et les alimentations sont utilisés pour générer les potentiels appropriés pour la commande des électrodes en ligne et en colonne. Un tel système permet de commander les électrodes en colonne par l'intermédiaire d'une plage de tension bien inférieure à celle du système de commande IAPT conventionnel et réduit largement la consommation de courant de l'étage de commande. La plage dynamique de tension totale éprouvée par le circuit de commande est comparable à celle du système de commande IAPT.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un graisseur de roues de bord de voie des roues de wagons comportant plusieurs détecteurs (9, 10, 11) montés le long de la voie et détectant l'approche et le passage des trains. Une réserve de lubrifiant et un système de mise sous pression, montés à proximité de la voie, communiquent avec des soupapes de commande et des buses de projection (12) projetant lorsque la soupape est ouverte le lubrifiant dans une zone cible pendant un temps limité, ce qui permet de doser la quantité de lubrifiant projetée. On évite la projection sur les roues de la locomotive en détectant les roues de la locomotive et en laissant la soupape fermée jusqu'à ce la locomotive soit passée. L'invention réduit le frottement entre le bandage des roues et le rail dans les courbes uniquement pour les wagons remorqués et donc le frottement et la force appliquée aux boudins dans les courbes.

Title: Revetement resistant aux salissures pour surfaces de verre
Inventor: KRISKO ANNETTE
IPC: C23C14/56
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne un article en verre comprenant un revêtement de stratification de l'eau et un procédé d'application de revêtements sur des côtés opposés d'un substrat. Dans un mode de réalisation, un revêtement (20) de stratification de l'eau contenant de la silice est vaporisé directement sur une surface extérieure du verre. La face extérieure de ce revêtement de stratification de l'eau est sensiblement non poreuse mais présente une surface irrégulière. Ce revêtement de stratification de l'eau provoque une stratification de l'eau appliquée sur la surface recouverte du revêtement, ce qui rend l'article en verre plus facile à nettoyer et ce qui permet à ce même article de rester propre plus longtemps. Dans un procédé selon l'invention, les surfaces intérieure et extérieure d'une feuille de verre sont nettoyées. On recouvre ensuite les deux surfaces d'un revêtement de stratification de l'eau, en pulvérisant de la silice directement sur la surface extérieure de la feuille de verre. En fonction des besoins, la surface intérieure et la surface extérieure peuvent être traitées durant le même passage par le même applicateur de revêtement par pulvérisation, alors que le verre garde une orientation constante, la surface intérieure étant placée au-dessus de la surface extérieure.
