Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (8) for cleaning and/or disinfecting a hollow tube (4), comprising: —The hollow tube (4), —a ring (18) mounted so as to slide over the hollow tube (4), the ring (18) enclosing an absorbent pad impregnated with a disinfecting and/or degreasing liquid, and arranged around the hollow tube (4). The system (8) further comprises an electromechanical actuation device (20) for actuating the ring arranged inside the hollow tube, the device being a motorised linear potentiometer and comprising a longitudinal translational drive element (26). Moreover, a longitudinal slot (11) is provided in the hollow tube (4), the element (26) protruding through the longitudinal slot (11) and being mechanically connected to the ring (18), in order to move the ring (18) in longitudinal translation along the hollow tube (4). The hollow tube (4) can be a lever for operating a door handle (2), or indeed a tube of a bar equipping a transport means, a T-bar door pull handle or a ramp.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electric actuator in an exercise device, comprising: supplying a first load set point (FA, kA) upon a displacement of the load element in a first direction, supplying a second load set point (FB, kB) upon a displacement of the load element in a second direction, and detecting an initial position (M) of the moving part of the electric actuator when the reversal of the movement is detected, computing an end-of-transition position (N) exhibiting a deviation in the second direction relative to the initial position, supplying a transition load set point in the form of a monotonic function of the position of the moving part of the electric actuator or of the load element, said monotonic function varying from the first load set point (FA, kA) to the second load set point (FB, kB) between the initial position (M) and the end-of-transition position (N).

Abstract: A rotating electric machine comprising a rotor (2) comprising a body (34) on the periphery of which are installed conductors (36) forming the winding, and a stator (3) positioned around the rotor (2) comprising a magnetized structure extending along a circumference of the stator (3). The body (34) of the rotor (2) is made partially of plastic, in the region of the teeth which conventionally separate the notches near the air gap, on the periphery of the armature. A modified structure of magnets of Halbach type is made with magnets of NdFeB type to reduce the thickness of the stator (3), to increase the radius (R2) of the rotor (2) so as to position all the conductors (36) on the periphery of the body (34) of the rotor (2) on one and the same layer at a diameter of maximum value.

Abstract: A machine having a wound rotor (102) comprising a manifold (112) that includes a set of blades (131) and longitudinal notches (133). Rotor (102) also comprises a winding (108) formed of a set of conductors (134) that each comprise two arms (135.1, 135.2), connected together by a base (136). The curve, representing the electromotive force (EMF) generated by the rotor (102) on the basis of the angle of rotation of the rotor, is linear and steep in a switching region, and the notches (133) are angularly shifted relative to the blades (131) so that each notch (133) is located opposite a junction between two blades. The machine may relate to a starter fitted with the machine.
