Patent number: 8148856Abstract: The present invention relates to a stand-alone device for generating electrical energy comprising:—an excitation coil (2) furnished with a central opening, —a magnetic circuit passing through the central opening of the coil and formed of a fixed part (3) and a movable part (5) that can move with respect to the fixed part (3) so as to vary the magnetic flux through the excitation coil (2), characterized in that, —the magnetic circuit passes through the central opening of the excitation coil (2) several times, forming at least one loop. The invention also relates to a remote control device comprising a transmitter coupled to a remote receiver and a stand-alone device (1) for generating electrical energy so as to generate an electric current intended to power its transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Christian Bataille, Christophe Cartier-Millon, Stephane Follic, Jean-Pierre Pin, Didier Vigouroux

Publication number: 20100209919Abstract: The invention relates to polynucleotides that are closely linked to the bolting gene or B gene within the sugar beet genome and can be used for the development of molecular markers. The invention further relates to molecular markers and kits comprising said markers that can be used for mapping, identification and isolation of the bolting gene or S gene in the sugar beet genome and to discriminate between the annual and bienniai genotype or between different haplotypes within plant groupings of sugar beet plants exhibiting a biennial genotype. The invention also relates to assays and methods of breeding sugar beet plants involving said markers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2008Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicant: SYNGENTA PARTICIPATIONS AGInventors: Johannes Jacobus Ludgerus Gielen, Thomas Kraft, Pierre Pin

Patent number: 6299268Abstract: A frame is equipped with joining parts formed by bipods which are equipped with positioning means in the intermediate common part for fixing of the girders. Each positioning means comprises at least one pair of bearing faces arranged in a V-shaped confining a corner-piece with an acute angle in which the girder of conjugate shape fits. An assembly screw performs progressive tightening of the girder onto the corner-piece of the bipod.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SAInventors: Pierre Carle, Kazimir Laboch, Jean-Pierre Pin

Patent number: 6019446Abstract: A metal frame for an electrical cabinet comprises an assembly of uprights and cross-members forming a framework with high mechanical rigidity. Each upright is provided with a support equipped with four bearing surfaces designed to cooperate with two positioning surfaces of conjugate shapes of a cross-member of the first series to form a fixing device with a hyperstatic wedge when the fixing screw is tightened, which screw passes through a hole of the corresponding cross-member, and cooperating with a lock-nut secured to the support. The nut has a tapped hole arranged in the center of symmetry of the four bearing surfaces of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Schneider Electric SAInventors: Kazimir Laboch, Jean-Pierre Pin

Patent number: 5655821Abstract: The present invention relates to a support base for cabinets designed to house electrical and/or electronic apparatuses, and a cabinet equipped with such a support base. The support base comprises four corner blocks and four panels joining the corner blocks, the corner blocks each comprising an upper assembly plate and a lower assembly plate assembled to one another by vertical partitions, the upper plate comprising means for fixing the block to the frame of the cabinet, whereas the lower plate comprises means for fixing the block to the ground. These fixing means comprise two fixing orifices accessible respectively via the two external side faces of the block, each orifce having a fixing axis which is inclined by an angle of about 20.degree. with respect to the plane of the corresponding external face of the block. Each block comprises a vertical internal partition forming an angle of 45.degree. with the external faces of the block and comprising an opening for the passage of handling bars.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1996Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Schneider Electric S.A.Inventors: Kazimir Laboch, Jean-Pierre Pin, Edmond Bossan, Marc Hermal, Pierre Milbach, Stephane Kaczmarek

Patent number: 5498073Abstract: A corner junction for a cabinet, including a gusset plate having two profile sections secured thereto and including two adjacent joining surfaces which extend perpendicularly to a plane of the profile sections. A foot having complementary joining surfaces is secured to the gusset plate, such that the complementary joining surfaces are received by and abut against the joining surfaces of the gusset plate. At least one protruding portion extends from the foot and at least one complementary notch is formed in the gusset plate or the profile sections, the complementary notch receiving the protruding portion to lock the foot from translating in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the foot. Additionally, a securing device is provided to secure the foot to the gusset plate, by clamping the foot between the joining surfaces. The foot is adapted to engage the gusset plate by translation along a direction parallel to the plane of the profile sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1994Date of Patent: March 12, 1996Assignee: Schneider Electric SAInventors: Michel Charbonneau, Edmond Bossan, Kazimir Laboch, Jean-Pierre Pin
