  • Patent number: 8494699
    Abstract: System for electrical braking of a road vehicle of which at least one wheel is linked in rotation to at least one rotary electric machine, at least one wheel drive electronic module 23 driving the electric machine or machines of one and the same wheel, comprising a central unit 3 ensuring the management of the movement of the vehicle, the said central unit controlling the wheel drive electronic module or modules 23, comprising a braking control at the disposal of a driver, the said control being linked mechanically at least to three sensors C1, C2, C3 delivering a control signal for braking the vehicle having a given amplitude representative of the total braking force desired for the vehicle, the said sensors C1, C2, C3 being distributed into a first group C1 and a second group C2, C3, in which the sensor (sensors) C1 of the first group delivers (deliver) its (their) control signal to the said central unit 3 and the sensor (sensors) of the second group C2, C3 delivers (deliver) its (their) control signal to t

  • Patent number: 7587807
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a stator of an electrical rotating machine that is configured to have a rotor mounted inside the stator. The stator has a laminated magnetic circuit having a stack of magnetic metal sheets disposed substantially parallel to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor of the machine. The magnetic circuit has teeth that delimit longitudinally oriented slots. The method includes the step of installing electrically conductive wires in the slots and forming winding heads at the two axial ends of the magnetic circuit and installing this assembly on a vertical axis. The assembly is trapped between an outer sheath, forming part of the final motor, and a removable inner core substantially occupying a volume reserved for the rotor. The conductive wires in the slots are impregnated under vacuum with a slot-impregnating composition including a heat-setting resin and a filler, and the composition is polymerized.
