Abstract: The invention relates to a stator tooth (8) for an electrical machine, the stator tooth being intended for holding an electrical wire winding (10). The tooth includes a central portion (24) formed with a contiguous assembly of precut magnetic metal sheets (24a). The metal sheets are secured to one another. The tooth is characterized in that the central portion (24) is enclosed between two longitudinal end portions (25) which are secured to the central portion (24) and each have a radial attachment bolt (11) passing therethrough. The longitudinal end portions (25) have a rounded outer shape (25a) for forming, on the ends of the tooth, a continuous contact surface for the electrical wire(s) wound onto the tooth.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor including a one-piece metal frame having a cylindrical portion that is closed on one side by a closure portion forming a hub. Parallel axial rows of permanent magnets are mechanically and directly attached to the inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the frame by strips. The strips are preferably non-magnetic, and attached mechanically to the frame and arranged longitudinally between each row of magnets. The strips have a base that rests on the frame and the base is extended by flaring by two outwardly inclined sides. The inclined sides engage with inward inclined surfaces that have a complementary shape on the corresponding lateral edges of the adjacent magnets, such that the magnets are locked vertically and laterally.

Abstract: A vehicle that includes: a towing axle connected to a heat engine; a directional axle; and a complementary axle that is neither directional nor motor-driven. When the vehicle is hybridized according to the method of the invention, the wheels of the complementary axle are removed and replaced by in-wheel motors, each connected with an inverter specifically dedicated for supplying electrical power thereto from an electrical power battery. A control housing is also provided, that has built-in acceleration control devices connected to the accelerator pedal, and built-in deceleration control devices connected to the brake pedal, so as to control and monitor all the mechanisms needed for the driver to transparently accelerate and decelerate the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for loading and/or unloading a loading space delimited by structural elements of at least one road or rail vehicle using a manipulator to move the loads from outside the loading space to a position onto the structural elements in the loading space and vice versa. The method includes: inputting or importing primary data relative to the loads into a logic controller, automatically calculating the optimum loading position for each load, determining the automated movements of the manipulator, automatically picking up a pallet in a storage position inside the loading space with the manipulator and positioning the pallet in a loading position located at the rear of the vehicle, placing a load on the pallet, and automatically moving the pallet supporting the load into the optimum loading position, and locking the pallet to the structural elements.

Abstract: A system of localized tapping sections (1, 2 or 3) is provided with air or ground units for the distribution of electrical energy and an assembly on the vehicle (4) for tapping the energy. The electrical energy distribution units are supported by distributing poles (5), only accommodate electrical voltage when the vehicle approaches the related section, and being disconnected when the vehicle (4) leaves the tapping section. The tapping sections are located in vehicle stopping zones, for example, stations (1), acceleration zones, and uphill gradients (2), in order to recharge and/or supply drive energy to the vehicle (4). The system is beneficial to autonomous urban public transportation which accumulates drive energy.

Abstract: An aircraft device includes a rudder, a control unit that applies a deflection instruction to the rudder, a measuring section that measures a recovery characteristic of aircraft movement in response to the rudder deflection instruction, a recorder that records an applied deflection instruction and a corresponding recovery characteristic, and a servo-control that maintains the recovery characteristic. The control unit receives a recovery instruction for a recovery characteristic, which is identifiable for an aerodynamic effect, and generates the rudder deflection instruction induced by the recovery instruction.
