  • Patent number: 9790312
    Abstract: A material is provided having a lamellar, non-centrosymmetric macroscopic structure, essentially consisting of a mixture of at least two populations of objects that are heterogeneous in blocks along an axis, each object consisting of at least two blocks, characterized in that each of the objects is connected to adjacent objects via interactions that involve at least two mutually incompatible blocks of the object and two blocks that are compatible one-to-one with the first of the blocks, and mutually incompatible along the chain of each one of said adjacent objects. The objects can be, in particular, block co-oligomers or copolymers.

  • Patent number: 5820100
    Abstract: An electromagnetic linear actuator having a stationary annular assembly with a magnetic outer shell and a magnetic inner core. Monostable or bistable control components may be mounted interchangeably between the outer shell and inner core. An assembly which is moveable in the axis of the annular assembly includes two magnetic plates which face the extremities of the annular assembly and a rod which is mounted so that it can slide inside the core. The first core is made of a material chosen for its frictional characteristics. The actuator may be used to control the valve of a regulator in the fuel supply circuit of a satellite engine.
