Abstract: A method for assembling at least two plates using a brazing process, the plates being separated by a filler material situated therebetween, includes placing the two plates, separated by the filler material, in a furnace; compressing the two plates separated by the filler material; controlling the temperature in the furnace according to a brazing cycle. The two plates separated by the filler material are compressed using a plurality of devices that can be pressurized using a fluid, the pressurizable devices being located in the furnace and being distributed over the surface of one of the two plates to which each pressurizable device applies a mechanical pressure that is remote-controlled as a function of the temperature in the furnace.

Abstract: The device comprises a modulating device for modulating the action of a shifting device. The latter axially shifts the camshaft of the engine which camshaft varies the timing and the extent of opening of cylinder valves in accordance with its axial position. The arrangement is such that the action of the modulating device is controlled by the position of the accelerator pedal. Moreover, this arrangement constitutes the sole device for controlling the acceleration of the engine to the exclusion of an accelerator pedal-actuated throttle.

Abstract: The device comprises a recycling passage interconnecting the induction pipe and exhaust pipe of the engine. A valve for regulating the flow in the passage is controlled by the movable wall of a suction capsule. The inside of the capsule communicates with a suction take-off orifice in the induction pipe by way of a pipe in which there is inserted a chamber of a suction regulator. An opening in the chamber puts the latter in communication with the atmosphere and the opening cooperates with a valve member connected to a movable wall of the chamber. A spring connects the outside of the movable wall of the chamber to a mechanism controlling the butterfly valve member in such manner that the return force of the spring varies in the same direction as the opening of the butterfly valve member.
