Abstract: A wheel nut assembly includes a stud ( 1 ), a main wheel nut ( 4 ) mountable on threads ( 3 ) provided on the stud, and a retaining nut ( 6 ) engageable with threads ( 5 ) provided on the stud to prevent accidental loosening of the wheel nut ( 4 ). The threads of the wheel nut ( 4 ) and the threads for the retaining nut ( 6 ) are of opposite hand. A cap ( 11 ) is slidably mounted on the retaining nut ( 6 ) and biased into a first position by a spring ( 16 ). The cap ( 11 ) includes multi-hexagonal profiles ( 12, 14 ) for engaging hexagonal profiles ( 13, 15 ) provided on the retaining nut ( 6 ) and on the main wheel nut ( 4 ). Accordingly, in the first position, the retaining nut ( 6 ) and the main wheel nut ( 4 ) are rotationally locked to each other and because of the opposite hand of the respective threads it is not possible to remove the retaining nut. To release the retaining nut ( 6 ), the cap ( 11 ) is grasped and pulled to the limit permitted by the spring ( 16 ) to permit rotation of the retaining nut ( 6 ) and removal thereof.

Abstract: The imager comprises a set of pixels each comprising a photodiode (PD) as a photodetecting element generating charge carriers in proportion to illumination, a capacitor (C1) as a storage element which can be coupled or decoupled from the photodiode in order to store at a memory node (B) a signal measuring the charge carriers generated by the photodiode, and five MOS transistors (M1 to M5). At least one transistor (M1,M3) is connected in series with the photodiode, directly or via a coupling transistor (M2), and is configured so to function at least partially with weak inversion so that in exposition phase the pixel has a logarithmic response for illumination levels higher than a predetermined level. The transistor (M2) couples the photodiode (PD) in reverse bias to the capacitor (C1), that connects the nodes (A) and (B). The transistor (M3) initializes the memory node (B) to a determined voltage. The drains of transistors (M1,M3) are connected to different supply voltages, that is the voltages (VBIAS) and (VDD), respectively, where the voltage (VBIAS) is higher than the voltage (VDD). The transistor (M4) is a source-follower transistor, and the transistor (M5) is a row-selection transistor which ensures the voltage transfer to an output bus common to all pixels in a column. The imager also comprises means for switching the gate voltage of at least one transistor (M1,M3) between the voltages (V1) and (V2), where the voltage (V1) is higher than the supply voltage (VDD) plus a threshold voltage (VTH), and the voltage (V2) is lower than the supply voltage (VDD) plus a threshold voltage (VSS) plus the threshold voltage (VTH). The photodiode (PD) is formed in an n-type well, and the transistors (M1 to M5) are n-MOS transistors. The storage element (C1) is formed as a capacitor protected from light by a metallic layer. A method is claimed for operating the imager and comprises the step of exposition consisting in connecting the transistor (M1) as a resistance, the step of storage consisting in decoupling the photodiode from the capacitor, and the step of reading the stored signal measure; or the steps of initialization, exposition, storage and reading. At the reading step a voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor (M1) so that the charge carriers generated by the photodiode (PD) are drained via that transistor.

Abstract: A method of setting pre-stressing, by which blades ( 11 ) of a granulating head carried by a shaft ( 12 ) which is driven by a motor ( 21 ) and which is displaceable in the axial direction of a granulating device abut against the perforated plate ( 8 ), makes use of the torque of the motor ( 21 ) for the said setting. To this end, the shaft ( 12 ) is adjusted at a constant speed in both axial directions in succession, the pattern of the torque M of the motor ( 21 ) being recorded over the displacement path x of the shaft ( 12 ) for both directions. The differential <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>is formed from this and the position x<SUB>0 </SUB>of the shaft is then determined for <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>=0. Starting from the said position x<SUB>0 </SUB>a position x=x<SUB>0</SUB>+x<SUB>z </SUB>of the shaft ( 12 ) is set, in which x<SUB>z </SUB>represents the desired advance of the shaft ( 12 ) in the direction towards the perforated plate ( 8 ). The device for carrying out this method provides for a sensing device ( 66 ) for the time pattern of the torque M of the motor ( 21 ). The output signal of the said sensing device ( 66 ) influences an actuating drive ( 75 ) for the displacement of the shaft ( 12 ). In addition, a device ( 69 ) for forming the differential <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>is provided, as well as a device ( 70 ) for determining the position x<SUB>0 </SUB>of the shaft ( 12 ) for <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>=0.
