Abstract: A magnetocaloric element (1) made by an alignment of at least two adjacent sets (MC1-10) of magnetocaloric materials having different Curie temperatures. The magnetocaloric materials within a same set (MC1-10) have the same Curie temperature. The sets (MC1-10) are arranged according to an increasing Curie temperature, and the magnetocaloric element (1) comprises elements (MA1-2) for initiating a temperature gradient between a hot end (6) and an opposed cold end (7) of the magnetocaloric element (1).

Abstract: An automated control module for an electrical cut-off apparatus including an automated actuation mechanism (30) having two electromagnets (31) aligned in opposition on a slide (34) bearing a rack (35) which meshes with a driving pinion (40). The driving pinion (40) can rotate about a drive spindle (50) which is intended to be rotationally coupled to the drive shaft of the cut-off apparatus (1). The drive spindle (50) includes a ratchet wheel (51) driven in one direction or another by pawls (43) fastened to the driving pinion (40) so as to switch the cut-off apparatus (1) according to the controlled electromagnet. This control module (10) also includes a manual actuation mechanism (60) and automatic clutch mechanism for disengaging one of the mechanisms (30 or 60) when the other mechanism is in operation.
