Abstract: The invention relates to a diffusion device (1) for an automotive vehicle. The diffusion device (1) comprises a housing (2) with an ambient air inlet (3), a treated air outlet (3), a diffusion chamber (4) and an insert (7). The insert (7) is located inside the diffusion chamber (4) and contains at least one volatile agent (AV1). The insert (7) can rotate via an electric motor (12) for selectively diffusing or not the volatile agent (AV1). The diffusion device (1) also comprises a blower (13) fixed on the housing (2). The insert (7) comprises a member (15) which carries two cartridges (8, 9) containing volatile agent. The member (15) rotates with the insert (7) and can be axially displaced by extraction means. These extraction means expels the member (15) out of the housing (2) when the user pushes on the cap (14).

Abstract: The apparatus of the invention measures and evaluates deformation characteristics of mechanically deformed test pieces, which characteristics depend upon the structural and mechanical properties of the test piece. The apparatus includes a loading device for supporting and placing a mechanical load on the test piece and a TV camera mounted for visually scanning the test piece as it is being deformed. The TV camera has an output for producing signals representative of the scanned picture. A control unit is connected to the output of the TV camera and produces control pulses responsive to the output of the TV camera and to a feedback signal from an evaluating unit. A first output of the control unit is connected to the loading device for controlling a program of mechanical load applied to the test piece. The evaluating unit has a first input connected to the output of the TV camera and second input which is connected to a second output of the control unit.
