Abstract: For polling communication devices in a communication system including a host device and communication devices. The host device is connected to the communication devices via a clock line for transmitting a clock signal to the communication devices and via an arbitration line implemented with “OR” logic for receiving arbitration signal transmitted by the communication devices. Each communication device is configured to pull up or down the arbitration line for sending an arbitration signal when the communication device is ready to send data to the host device. Each communication device is configured to pull down the arbitration line for sending an arbitration signal when the communication device has no data to send to the host device.

Abstract: A push-button with a receptacle and a cover plate, an actuating button actuatable in translation between two positions, a rest position and a pushed-in position, the cover plate being arranged at the periphery of the actuating button, a device for guiding the actuating button in translation between the two positions, and a return device for returning the actuating button from the pushed-in position toward the rest position. The guiding device include at least a pin including a bent rod shaped to have a first part pivotally mounted on a fastening unit of the actuating button and a second part pivotally mounted on a fastening unit of the cover plate, and the return device are designed to act on the pin by mechanical or magnetic effect.

Abstract: A control module and a human-machine dialog system including the control module. The human-machine dialog system includes one or more human-machine dialog devices connected in series, a human-machine dialog device including a functional element including at least one electrical contact, an indicator or a combination of at least one electrical contact and of an indicator. The control module includes a microcontroller, a common terminal designed to be connected to each functional element and several terminals each dedicated to the individual control of the functional element of each human-machine dialog device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a signalling device comprising a cover, a light source (22) mounted on a support circuit board (20) and a vibrating generator (25, 26) intended to emit sound waves, the cover forming an outer wall (11) that is at least partly translucent, characterized in that: the light source (22) is positioned between the vibrating generator (25, 26) and the outer wall (11); the cover comprises a connecting column (12) that passes through the support circuit board (20) and to which the vibrating generator (25, 26) is fixed.

Abstract: A rotary knob for an electrical system includes a body containing a rotary maneuvering member which actuates a cam-driving part and bears one or more electrical units. A cup is defined between an outer cylindrical flange of the body and an inner cylindrical sleeve, and contains a spring either of a helical type for urging a sliding ring separate from the driving part, or of a torsion type to return the maneuvering member. The ring provides a sensitivity function. The cylindrical sleeve defines in a central opening thereof a centering seat of the shank of the maneuvering member.

Abstract: The invention concerns a rotary knob for an electrical system, whereof the body (10) contains a rotary maneuvering member (20) which actuates a cam-driving part (50) and bears one or several electrical units. A cup (15) is defined between an outer cylindrical flange (12) of the body (10) and an inner cylindrical sleeve (13) and contains a spring either of the helical type (R) for urging a sliding ring (30) separate from the driving part (50), or of the torsion type (R?) to return the maneuvering member. The ring (30) provides a sensitivity function through its adapted shapes. The cylindrical sleeve (13) defines in its central opening a centering seat (23) of the shank (22) of the maneuvering member.
