Abstract: The invention proposes a device for attaching an actuator (2) to a housing (4), in particular for an automotive vehicle, the actuator being provided for driving a movable equipment (41) disposed within the housing. The device comprises attaching means for attaching the actuator on the housing. The mounting means comprise two conjugated connection flanges (20, 40), respectively mounted on a connexion face (28) of the actuator (28) and on a connection face (48) of the housing. The connexion flanges are adapted to be assembled according to a male/female type connection at the outside of the housing.

Abstract: A device for attaching an element to a holder, the device including a screw having a body and a head, the screw body being able to pass through an opening of the element and to penetrate the holder, and a washer surrounding the screw body when the washer is inserted between the head of the screw and the element, characterized in that the washer comprises an external periphery and an internal periphery each having at least one protruding portion, each protruding portion being able to penetrate respectively the element and the holder to provide the attachment between the element and the holder. Also, an attachment method using such a device, and a front face with including device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a diffusion device (1) for an automotive vehicle. The diffusion device (1) includes 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 includes a blower (13) fixed on the housing (2).

Abstract: Control knob comprising a mobile part (3) capable of being actuated manually and linked with an electromechanical transducer (7). The knob also comprises a metal surface (15) arranged in the vicinity of the mobile part and means to measure the capacitance of the metal surface so that the presence of a finger in the vicinity of the mobile part can be detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heating device comprising a housing (15), through which air to be heated can pass and which delimits a heating space controlled by a power supply control circuit connected to a power source. The heating space includes electric heating modules (14), each heating module consisting of a first and second metal tape (10, 10) that are essentially parallel in a transversal direction (D) and of a positive temperature coefficient resistive elements (12) fixed between the two metal tapes.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a device for ionizing (2) particles carried in an airflow (4) circulating inside a system, this device (2) including at least two electrodes (8, 9) held by a chassis (13) and connected, respectively, to the corresponding terminals (10, 11) of a polarized electrical power supply. Two adjacent first electrodes (8) are arranged on either side of a second electrode (9), which is formed from at least one conductor cable (14). The latter (14) is hooked onto fingers (15) that are designed as an elastic part for tensioning the conductor cable (14) and that are held by the chassis (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the angular position [STP_POS] of a stopless rotatably movable member [1] of a stepper motor, the said movable member [1] being designed to interact with at least one fixed member [2] whose state is capable of being modified during the rotation of the movable member [1] according to parameters [CAM_POS] previously defined according to the angular position [STP_POS] of the movable member [1]. The method comprises a step of testing the correspondence [18] of the state of the fixed member [2] with the parameters [CAM_POS] of the predefined modifications, in a mode in which the position of the motor [STP_POS] is considered to be defined.

Abstract: This invention concerns a communication system (100) between at least one device control unit (10) connected to a device (10) to be controlled and at least one human-machine interface (HMI) through a series communication bus (4). This communication system (100) further includes a central processing unit (2) comprising means for: receiving at least first status information (D32, D3?2) transmitted by human-machine interface (3, 3?) and at least second status information (D12) transmitted by device control unit (1); processing first status information data (D32, D3?2) and second status information (D12) for generating at least third (D23, D23?) and fourth (D21) status information available for human-machine interface (3, 3?) and device control unit (1); broadcasting third status information (D23, D23?) to human-machine interface (3, 3?); and broadcasting fourth status information (D21) to at least one device control unit (1).
