  • Patent number: 11180896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signaling system, comprising a crossable zone intended to be positioned on a highway and comprising a signaling marking forming a plurality of signaling strips, said system being characterized in that: The crossable zone comprises a plurality of photovoltaic zones (ZP) comprising photovoltaic cells (Cp) intended to capture light energy in order to convert it into electrical energy; The crossable zone comprises a plurality of signaling zones (ZS), of non-zero areas, so as to form said plurality of signaling strips, each signaling zone (ZS) incorporating electrical lighting means; A control system for controlling said electrical lighting means; At least one storage unit (14) for storing the electrical energy generated by each photovoltaic zone (ZP) and connected to said electrical lighting means in order to supply them with electrical energy.

  • Patent number: 6782757
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pressure sensor (1), able to operate at high temperature and measure the pressure of a hostile medium, comprising: a sensing element (4) integrating a membrane (8) in monocrystalline silicon carbide, made by micro-machining a substrate in polycrystalline silicon carbide, a first surface of membrane (8) intended to contact said medium, a second surface of membrane (8) comprising membrane deformation detection means (9) connected to electric contacts (10) to connect electric connection means (11), the surfaces of sensing element (4) contacting said medium being chemically inert to this medium; a carrier (5) to support sensing element (4) so that said first surface of membrane (8) may be contacted with said medium and the second surface of membrane (8) may be shielded from said medium, carrier (5) being in polycrystalline silicon carbide; a seal strip (6), in material containing silicon carbide, brazed between carrier (5) and sensing element (4) to protect the second surface of membra
