Patent number: 11091126Abstract: An end joining piece (4) for a windscreen wiper for a glazed surface of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The end piece has at least a receipt receptacle (410) for receiving an end part of a longitudinal vertebra (20), and at least one flexible tongue (6a, 6b) which is configured to go from a first, position of rest, to a second, retracted position, by displacement in a first direction (F2a, F2b) during the insertion of the longitudinal vertebra in the receipt receptacle (410), the flexible tongue including an engagement ramp along which the vertebra is made to thrust, to provide the tongue with its second, retracted position. The engagement ramp (620a, 620b) has an inclination which is configured to exert on the longitudinal vertebra a force which tends to displace this vertebra in a second direction (F3a, F3b), which, together with the first direction of displacement, forms a non-zero angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Valeo Systèmes d'EssuyageInventors: Guillaume Mouleyre, Vincent Gaucher, Stéphane Houssat, Laurent Thierry Andre Masse

Patent number: 9032786Abstract: A method for monitoring a control device of a fuel metering valve of an aircraft turbojet engine, the control device supplying a control current to a servo valve in order to modify the position of the fuel metering valve. The method includes determining the position of the fuel metering valve during a flight of the aircraft, determining the travelling speed of the fuel metering valve, and determining the control current when the travelling speed of the fuel metering valve is zero. A mean control current is calculated when the travelling speed of the fuel metering valve is zero, the mean control current forming an indicator of deterioration of the control device. The deterioration indicator is compared with a reference base of indicators with deterioration so as to infer the type of deterioration from it, and an abnormality score is calculated for the deterioration indicator.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Jean-Remi Andre Masse, Benjamin Pierre Lamoureux, Hicham Janati Idrissi, Francis Marquisseau, Aziz Sif
