Abstract: A vehicle suspension device having, for each suspension system, a suspension including a spring and a reversible electric actuator acting in parallel with the spring. The device includes provision for controlling the electric actuators of each of the suspension systems so that they each develop a force having two components: a damping component opposing the deflection speed and a trim correction component, the said trim correction components applying a trim correction torque to the suspended mass.

Abstract: For a vehicle, all of whose road wheels are steerable wheels, the steering instructions are transmitted by electrical means. The vehicle path is altered by a device comprising a component which is similar to a steering wheel, and has two handles 32G, 32D arranged at a certain distance from the rotary shaft and preferably substantially symmetrically with respect to it. The rotary shaft is provided with at least one angle-of-rotation sensor 34 and has a sensor for the tilting force of the handles. The driver turns the handles 32G and 32D clockwise to turn right and anticlockwise to turn left. The driver applies selected tilting forces to the handles 32G and 32D to displace the vehicle transversely to the left or the right, while keeping its longitudinal orientation unchanged.

Abstract: A steering system for a vehicle includes a steerable wheel 1 capable of being steered, a steering wheel 20, and an electrical actuator 3 for altering the steering angle of the steerable wheel. The electrical actuator 3 has three electric motors 31, 32, 33 which act in parallel and three controllers 61, 62, 63 which operate in parallel, each forming part of an electrical control channel for the steering angle. The controller of each electrical channel receives one of the three electrical signals in the control channels and is connected to one of the position sensors and drives one of the electric motors in order to set the said steering angle. The torques delivered by the respective motors are added together in normal operation.

Abstract: A toroidal core is produced on a rim 1 comprising a central portion connecting two annular lateral anchoring zones. The rim has an air passage orifice which can be selectively closed or opened and connected to a source of pressure, to the atmosphere or to vacuum. A conduit 3 passes through the rim and has a valve 30 which can be selectively closed or opened, the conduit extending to an orifice to which a pipeline can be connected by a suitable flange 13. A stretchable membrane 2 is mounted on the radially outer side of the rim and is fastened to it in air-tight manner on anchoring zones over the entire periphery of said rim so as to define a closed space on the radially outer side of said rim between the rim and the membrane. A fluid 6 fills said closed space to overflowing, said membrane being pressed against a mold 5.
