Abstract: A fluid distributor valve including a chamber formed by a body and bonnet and having an intermediary plate through which a central shaft extends, a rotor being fitted around said central shaft and being submitted to the action of the fluid flowing into said chamber, said body having fluid outlet bottom orifices being each closed by a respective stopper, the stoppers being prised open by activation of a reducing gear connected to said rotor, This valve includes a controlling and arresting device by which the fluid passage towards the rotor is controlled and can even be totally blocked in order to thus adjust the time during which each outlet will be held open, and also in order to keep a given outlet open and all of the remaining outlets closed when the valve has been arrested.

Abstract: A magnetic latchkey for an access-control lock with a series of magnets fastened to sliding pieces capable of being displaced by means of levers or extensions so that each magnet has three possible positions: north pole, south pole, or a point intermediate to both. This allows the magnet to be moved in front of the appropriate sensor of the lock, in such a way that when there is a particular combination of poles in the latchkey and the same combination of switches on the control panel, in touch with the position of the switches at the control panel will be identical to the positions of the levers of the latchkey. An alternative is for each magnet of the latchkey to have two sensors inside the lock.

Abstract: A key composed of a body with recesses which can be filled with magnetized disks, arranged in a combination of norths and/or souths and/or lack thereof, and with a sliding lid holding the magnetic disks in the recesses. The lock has one or two sets of magnetic sensors geometrically ordered according to the refillable recesses. When the key is placed adjacent to the series of magnetic lock sensors, the sensors detect the magnetized disks, pass the detected signal to a conventional converter-codifier circuit that generates a code that is sent, by cable or radio, to a station which interprets the code and, if correct, allows access.
