Abstract: A magneto-rheological damping assembly including a piston (28) defining a core (38). A pair of spaced electromagnets (46) are disposed about the core (38) and are connected to a controller (48) for selectively generating a magnetic flux. A pair of permanent magnets (52) are disposed about the electromagnets (46) and a pole segment (54;154;56;156) is disposed therebetween. A main gap (74) extends through the piston (28) through which magneto-rheological fluid (26) is conveyed. Flux generated by the magnets controls the viscosity of the fluid in the main gap (74) to control the damping force of the assembly. The controller (48) defines an off operating state for cancelling the flux from the permanent magnets (52) across the main gap (74).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing 3-keto-benzofurane derivatives of the general formula: Formula (I), where R is an alkyl or aryl group, R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl or aryl group, and R2 is a substituted alkyl or phenyl group. Said preparation method involves coupling a derivative of Formula III, where X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine or a sulfonate grouping: Formula (III) with a sulfonamide derivative of the formula R—SO2—NH2 in the presence of a basic agent and a catalytic system formed of a complex between a palladium compound and a ligand.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ketobenzofuran derivatives of the general formula (I): as well as to a method of synthesizing the same by coupling a quinonimine and an enaminone by a Nenitzescu reaction and to the intermediates of the synthesis thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for preparing benzofuran derivatives of general formula I: in which R, R1, and R2 are as defined in the disclosure; by coupling the hydroxylamine with a diketone of general formula III: in order to form an oxime that is then cyclized by heating in order to form the desired compound.
