Abstract: The invention relates to a bracket for supporting an electric motor on a chassis of a vehicle. The bracket includes a first half shell defining a first half space and a second half shell defining a second half space. In embodiments, the first half shell and the second half shell are made from a plastic material, which may in particular comprise a polymer material. In embodiments, the first half shell and the second half shell are fixed to each other, such as by welding, such that the first half shell and the second half shell define a cavity within the bracket that includes the first half space and the second half space.

Abstract: A partition member of an anti-vibration hydraulic mount includes a first channel and a second channel between the working chamber and the compensating chamber. The partition member includes a membrane secured in a receiving cavity. The membrane divides the receiving cavity into two sub-spaces separated fluidically from each other. The membrane comprises a closing device configured to have an open configuration, in which the closing device is spaced apart from the central opening, and a closed configuration, in which the closing device abuts against the central opening to close the central passageway.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible pipe comprising a mechanical reinforcement element (4) and a pressure sheath. Mechanical reinforcement element (4) comprises at least one metallic tensile armour layer (6) and at least one composite tensile armour layer (7). Composite tensile armour layer (7) is arranged outside metallic tensile armour layer (6). Separation means (8) are provided to separate composite tensile armours (7), while maintaining a radial clearance and a circumferential clearance for composite tensile armours (7).

Abstract: The present invention concerns spheroidal alumina particles characterized by a BET specific surface area in the range 150 to 300 m2/g, a mean particle diameter in the range 1.2 to 3 mm and a particle diameter dispersion, expressed as the standard deviation, not exceeding 0.1, a total pore volume, measured by mercury porosimetry, in the range 0.50 to 0.85 mL/g, a degree of macroporosity within a particle of less than 30%, and in which the dispersion of the diameters of the macropores, expressed as the ratio D90/D50, does not exceed 8. The invention also concerns processes for the preparation of said particles as well as catalysts comprising said particles as a support, and their use in catalytic hydrocarbon treatment processes, in particular in a catalytic reforming process.
