Abstract: Installation for the production and storage of renewable energy (1) provided for supplying an electricity-consuming unit (2) with electricity, the installation comprising solar panels (3) and a hydrogen production unit (4, 7, 8, 9, 10), which comprises an electrolyser (4) provided to produce hydrogen and oxygen when powered by the solar panels (3), a tank (8), and a compressor (10) for injecting the hydrogen provided by the electrolyser into the tank. The installation is characterised in that the solar panels (3) are provided to supply the electricity which they produce as a priority to the electricity-consuming unit (2) until the connected load of the unit is reached. Furthermore, the installation (1) comprises a branch connection unit (6) connected to the output of the solar panels and provided to direct a part of the electricity produced to the electrolyser (4) when the power produced by the solar panels exceeds the connected load.

Abstract: The device includes data entry means (10), control means (14) connected to means (12) for displaying said data. The invention is characterised in that it further includes a processing unit (16) inserted between the data entry means (10) and the control means (14). The processing unit (16) includes a memory (11) for storing reference times and particularly the Time Out, a counter (18) storing the time TC that elapses from the start of a manipulation and the time TM the elapses between two manipulations, and a comparator (21) including a first comparison unit (23), which acts on the one hand on an ON/OFF switch (24) to interrupt, via control means (14) the energy supply when TC>TO and which, on the other hand, enables TO to be altered at the end of a series of manipulations as a function of certain reference times of the memory and the speed at which the manipulations have been carried out.

Abstract: The timepiece, which is preferably a wristwatch, includes for each time position a capacitive sensor (C1 to C12), on a fixed bezel, including only four markings (R3, R6, R9, R12) at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock, and a single crown-push-button (9). The case contains, in particular, a non-acoustic vibration generator (20) and an electronic interpretation and coding circuit (15), associated with a time-keeper circuit (10), with the sensors and with the crown to control the vibration device, said circuit (15) being designed to identify the manipulations on the crown (brief, long application of pressure or pull) and on the sensors (positioning or movement).
