Patent number: 9222658Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid socket for a single-filament or dual-filament bulb consisting of a body made of an insulating material, exhibiting a front cavity for introducing the bulb, of substantially rectangular shape, complementary to the exterior shape of the base. It comprises at least one stopper of complementary cross section to that of the cavity of circular cross section, each traversed by a supply wire crimped onto a metallic contact of a first type, and a third stopper of complementary cross section to that of the cavity of oblong cross section, crimped onto an earth metallic contact. The socket furthermore comprises a locking hook for the bulb. Application: socket for type T20 blinking indicator lights or side lights.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: TBIInventors: Olivier Midy, Nicolas Pasquier

Patent number: 8979599Abstract: An electrical connector includes a molded body having at least one recess for receiving an electrical contact crimped onto a power supply wire. The body includes a flap that is mobile between a position allowing the insertion of a contact into the recess, and a locked position in which the flap locks the contact in the recess. The flap is translatably mobile relative to the body and forms a single hinged part with the latter. A system also includes a bulb provided with a connection socket and the connector.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: TBIInventor: Yann Hautbois

Patent number: 8864534Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a socket for an electric bulb, formed by a tubular body having two longitudinal cavities for receiving contacts crimped onto cables, said tubular body including lateral clip-fastening elements having lugs for locking into the base of a motor vehicle light or headlight. The disclosure provides that the locking elements are provided with internal shoulders having dimensions and positions configured such as: to be engaged behind a transverse surface of the contact when said contact is correctly mounted and to allow insertion into the base of the light or headlight when the clip-fastening elements are biased; and to prevent the movement of the elements which would allow insertion of the socket when the contact has not been correctly engaged.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: TBIInventor: Olivier Midy

Patent number: 4682113Abstract: A multiple electrode conductivity sensor generates an output to be applied to a special temperature compensation system that responds to a temperature sensor signal indicative of the sample water temperature. The temperature signal selectively operates a memory unit that contains separate water and salt correction values to be used in adjusting the measured conductivity output. The water correction value represents the conductivity of absolutely pure water at the measured temperature, and this value can be subtracted from the measured total conductivity to produce a conductivity value attributable only to salt impurities. The salt correction signal from the memory unit is then used to scale the measured salt conductivity signal at the standard reference temperature of 25.degree. C., thereby achieving a corrected salt conductivity measurement that can be added to a fixed pure water correction signal representative of the conductivity of pure water at that temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1985Date of Patent: July 21, 1987Assignee: TBIInventor: Theodore R.
