  • Patent number: 9821835
    Abstract: Steering boxes currently available on the market in order to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into the angular rotation of the wheels are not suitable to be partially built into the rim of the wheels of an electric car. In addition, existing boxes do not allow the independent rotation of the wheels or wide turning radii. These limitations are overcome using a system comprising: a body into which at least one motor is built using corresponding supports, which motor(s) actuate(s) the steering rotation axle of each steered wheel in the upper part of the body, and, in the lower part, a transmission gearbox and a stationary circular crown gear with which driving pinions mesh, said pinions rotating about the crown gear, thereby rotating the entire body and the rotation axle of the wheel built into the body together with suitable means.

  • Patent number: 9415690
    Abstract: The regenerative energy produced during the braking of a vehicle is used for powering a secondary battery, that is independent from the main battery, and, in the event of a complete failure of said main battery, allows the continued operation of the basic services such as power steering, lights, the brake servo unit, and electronics, as a result of the combined action of said autonomous system that includes a capacitor bank which powers said services either directly or via the secondary battery. The system comprises an interface of the electronic power and control unit, an electronic power and control unit, applied to the steering and pedals, and an ECU power controller and port.

  • Patent number: 6364854
    Abstract: An applicator for semi-solid medications comprises a tubular body (20) having a rounded dispensing end (21) provided with at least one opening (26) and a grasping end (22), the inner surface of a proximal portion of said tubular body defining a reservoir for the medication, a plunger (30), initially housed inside the tubular body, which plunger is provided with a rod (31) and grasping means (33), a piston (40), positioned in sealing contact with the inner surface of said tubular body providing a closure for the medication reservoir, wherein said piston has a longitudinal hole (45) through which rod (31) of the plunger is disposed, and wherein said piston initially abuts on a stop means (25) when the applicator is received by the user, a coupling means (35, 46) between rod (31) and piston (40), a closure means for sealingly closing off said opening (26) on said dispensing end, wherein the plunger (30) is extractable from the tubular body until the rod (31) becomes engaged with the piston (40) by the coupling m
