Abstract: An electric power train for an automotive vehicle includes an electric motor, a power electronics system, a first casing containing the power electronics system, a second distinct casing that contains the motor, and a third distinct casing. The first casing includes a bottom and an opening for access to the power electronics system. The second casing bears on an exterior wall of the first casing bottom. The opening is opposite the second casing. The third casing is assembled on the first casing and contains an electric filtering system. The first casing includes a platform, which juts out relative to at least one portion of the first casing and on a face of which platform an assembly contour for assembling the third casing on the first casing is defined. The assembly contour is substantially parallel to an axial direction of the motor. The platform overhangs the second casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for conveying and guiding mail items in a postage meter provided with an inkjet print head, in which postage meter each mail item, which has a top face and a bottom face, passes under the print head between a top reference surface defined by the bottom surface of a stationary guide plate and a bottom reference surface, said device having at least two drive assemblies mounted transversely side-by-side and to move vertically independently from each other, so that the top surfaces of the mail items remain continuously pressed against said stationary guide plate regardless of the thickness of the mail item, and in particular when said thickness varies over the width of the mail item.

Abstract: A franking machine including a printer for printing postal indicia on a mail item, a supplier for supplying postage printing ink to allow a refill of the printer with postage printing ink, and a self-obturating connection connected to the postage ink supply by an ink transferor and intended either to place the postage ink supply in communication with the printer in the case of postage ink printing or to isolate the postage ink supply from the printer in the other cases of printing.

Abstract: This invention relates to a document accumulation device comprising an accumulation receptacle provided with a mobile accumulation guide for receiving a bundle of documents to be folded and drive means constituted by a motor roller driven in rotation by motor means and associated with a free counter-roller adapted to pivot about a pivot pin, in order, on the one hand, to drive and align these documents one after the other against the accumulation guide and, on the other hand, thereafter to eject in one go the bundle of documents thus formed by accumulation in said receptacle, this device further comprising displacement means, constituted by an electro-magnet of which the core having two positions of displacement is connected to a piece supporting said free counter-roller, in order to position these drive means, on the one hand, in a first position in which they are subjected to a rathermore weak drive effort to ensure drive and alignment of the documents and, on the other hand, in a second position in which t

Abstract: A self-contained multi-function system for preparing mail items, the system comprising a general-purpose computer for preparing a document to be sent and for preparing secure postage metering or “franking” information, a digital imaging device connected to the general-purpose computer so as to print both the document to be sent, and at least a destination address for the document but not the postage imprint on an envelope that is to receive the document, and a folder/inserter connected both to the digital imaging device and to the general-purpose computer so as to receive and fold the printed document, and, once the document has been inserted in the envelope, so as to affix the postage imprint selectively by performing a write operation in a writable microcircuit of an electronic tag carried by the envelope or by the document.
