  • Patent number: 12196207
    Abstract: A lubricant-sealed vacuum pump configured to pump fluid from an inlet to an exhaust, method and filter are disclosed. The lubricant-sealed vacuum pump comprises: a rotor; a filter for filtering lubricant from fluid to be output by the pump; control circuitry for controlling a speed of rotation of the rotor, the control circuitry being configured to control rotation of the rotor, such that the rotor rotates at a reduced speed initially when a pressure at the inlet is high and rotates at a higher operational speed when the pressure at the inlet has reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8613523
    Abstract: A lamp comprises a lighting module mounted on a front housing, an electric power supply device connected to the lighting module, a rear pressing part, and means for fixing. The latter comprise a flexible link fixed to the rear pressing part, a securing device having gripping means, means for tensioning, and sliding means of the link designed to move the front housing and the rear pressing part towards one another. The flexible link is formed by a cord, a lace, or a flexible wire, and the gripping means of the securing device are centralized on the rear pressing part.

  • Patent number: 8378587
    Abstract: A portable electric lamp comprises a lighting module with LEDs and user control means connected to an electronic control circuit to define different lighting modes. An optic sensor is housed in the casing near the light-emitting diode LED to transmit to the control circuit a signal representative of the lighting induced by the lamp to automatically regulate the power of the LED according to a predefined threshold.
