  • Patent number: 12098960
    Abstract: A temperature sensor for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The temperature sensor includes a temperature-sensitive element, two electrical wires connecting the temperature-sensitive element to an electrical connector, an insulating sheath surrounding the two electrical wires, a protective endpiece including a closed end in which the temperature-sensitive element is housed, and a fixing means through which the insulating sheath passes. The fixing means has a threaded element to be screwed into a threaded orifice provided in a vehicle engine interface element to fix the temperature sensor to the engine interface element and a stop fixed to the insulating sheath. The stop surrounds the insulating sheath and provides sealing between the inside of the engine interface element and the outside, the threaded element being capable of rotating with respect to the stop.

  • Patent number: 10701950
    Abstract: A process of producing a filled sheet of process cheese, in which process cheese and a filling are co-extruded into a packaging material to produce a strand having a thickness, the strand is separated at predetermined locations to produce separate sheets, in which the filling is fully enclosed. A machine for producing filled sheets of process cheese, having a co-extrusion nozzle with an outer port for extruding an outer component and an inner port for extruding an inner component fully enclosed by the outer component into packaging material to form a co-extruded strand. The machine may comprise a device for reducing the thickness of the co-extruded strand, such as two or more cooperating rollers, and a device for separating the co-extruded strand, such as two or more rollers having ridges. A sheet of process cheese filled with a filling fully enclosed by the process cheese and having a thickness of 6 mm or less is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140165936
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cam actuator (2) for actuating at least one valve (3) slidably mounted in a mounting (1), the device comprising a tappet (8) which is to be mounted on a free end of a stem (3a) of the valve and which is mobile relative to the mounting (1); and a resilient return means (9) for the tappet, which to urge the tappet (8) against the cam (2), characterised in that the device comprises an electromagnetic locking means including an electromagnetic actuator (22) having a coil (24), preferably outside the tappet (8), and at least one pin (12) subjected to the magnetic field of the actuator (22), such that supplying power to the coil (24) causes the selective movement of the pin (12) between a locked position, in which the tappet (8) is translatably linked to the valve (3), and an unlocked position, in which the tappet (8) freely slides on the stem (3a) of the valve.
