  • Patent number: 8248209
    Abstract: Device (D) for communicating between a mobile element and a fixed element, includes: an electromagnetic field-based reader (L) including a transmitter with a transmitting antenna and a receiver with a first antenna placed in a housing (1), and a beacon (B) including a receiver able to receive a signal originating from the transmitter of the reader (L) so as to provide energy to a transmitter able to dispatch a signal received by the receiver of the reader (L), the receiver of the reader (L) including at least one second antenna and signal comparison elements able to compare the signal received by the first antenna of the receiver with the signal received by the second antenna so as to determine the moment at which the reader (L) passes vertically in line with the beacon (B).

  • Patent number: 4519540
    Abstract: The invention concerns a control device for gas boilers. The overall functions involving control and safety are ensured by a control box (26) with microprocessor which centralizes data collected from the ambient thermostat (27), the temperature sensor (28) on the duct (21) for heating water return, the air output sensor (19), the drawing contact (31), the extraction fan (6) speed sensor (30), and the lighter (24), and it converts them into digital signals that are made to operate the lighter, the circulation pump (19), the gas inlet electrovalve (12) and the extraction fan according to the control data that the microprocessor has memorized. Application for forced draft steamtight gas boilers.
