Abstract: A system for actuating a vacuum bottle of an electrical device, the vacuum bottle comprising a fixed electrode and a moving electrode that is mobile along a longitudinal axis between a closed position and an open position. The actuating system comprises an adjusting nut that is rotatably mobile about the longitudinal axis and driven by a drive device to perform an opening movement of the moving electrode, and an adjusting screw engaging with the adjusting nut in order to vary the moment when the drive device drives the moving electrode. The moving electrode is constrained to translate along the longitudinal axis with the adjusting screw, but is free to rotate relative to the adjusting screw, and the rotation of the adjusting screw is limited by blocking means.

Abstract: An electrical switching device, including a socket, a holder and electrical contacts housed in the holder. The holder includes a first end and a second end. The device includes a guidance device for guiding the first end of the holder relative to the socket. The device includes a fastener including a head, a tail, a first stem extending from the head to the tail, and a second stem extending from the head. The first stem is configured for passing through the holder and for being inserted at the tail into a first orifice of the socket, in order to retain the first end of the holder relative to the socket. A retaining member is configured for retaining the fastener, in order to rigidly connect the second end of the holder to the socket.

Abstract: Variants of the gamma chain of vertebrate AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), as well as nucleic acid sequences encoding the variants and use thereof for the diagnosis or treatment of dysfunction of energy metabolisms.

Abstract: A method for identifying polymorphic markers associated with a hypercortisolism phenotype including comparing nucleic acid sequences, from multiple individuals, including all or part of a Cbg gene; and identifying mutations in the Cbg gene or sequences adjacent to it.

Abstract: A breaking module for an electrical switchgear apparatus comprises a vacuum cartridge comprising a body and a support frame of the cartridge. The cartridge is provided with a metal rod movable in translation and driving a movable contact. A collar both performs radial positioning of the body of the cartridge with respect to the frame and constitutes a guide sheath of the rod. For fitting, the collar can be opened so as to insert the rod radially therein. Once the body of the cartridge has been encircled, the collar is inserted radially in guide grooves of the frame.
