Abstract: A control circuit of a synchronous motor with two induction windings, including an electrical power supply assembly (5), two oscillators (2,3) whose outputs are connected respectively to the windings of the motor (1), an intermediary circuit (4), connected on one side to the power supply and on the other to the oscillators, and a central unit for control of the thyristors.The electrical power supply assembly (5) delivers a current of a given unique polarity, and has its output terminals connected by means of a freewheel branch including at least one freewheel diode (6) whose cathode is connected to the positive terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration device using solar energy. This device includes a refrigeration fluid, such as water, which circulates between the solar energy heat exchanger 8 containing zeolite, and an evaporator 2 located in a cooling chamber 1 through a condenser 6, then return to the exchanger 8 through a three way valve 7. The device includes a second channel in the exchanger 8, which channel includes a fluid, and a second exchanger consisting of a tube with fins 20 connected to a storage tank 25 containing water at various temperatures. During the day whenever the period of sunshine is not sufficient, additional heat in the form of hot water is provided to the exchanger 8.Conversely if the night temperature is not low enough, cooling in the exchanger 8 is assisted by a cooling device 23 located in the second channel. Hot water 25.degree. C. is provided by the excess heat produced by the sun at day's end.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling a nuclear reactor by vertical displacement of a unit absorbing neutrons, comprising, inside a sealed enclosure (1) in communication with the interior of the reactor, a movable magnetic piece (6) connected to a control shaft (3) which is itself connected to the absorbent unit. This magnetic piece (6) has at least two radial projections (7). The magnetic piece (6) is displaced by an inductor (10) with at least two pole shoes (16) corresponding to the projections (7) on the magnetic piece (6) and allowing magnetic coupling between the inductor (10) and the magnetic piece (6). The inductor (10) and its displacement device (30, 32, 33) are disposed outside the sealed enclosure (1). A control means (38) allows the control shaft (3) to be uncoupled from a member (36, 37) assuring its suspension so as to drop the absorbent unit in the event of emergency shutdown. The apparatus is particularly applicable to control rods of pressurized water nuclear reactors.
