Abstract: A method for detecting malfunctions of a motor vehicle electro-actuated brake apparatus may include the steps of providing, in an electronic control unit, a functional control block and a first functional block having a numerical model representative of the electro-actuated brake caliper. The method may also include providing a target signal to the functional control block for generating the control signal to operate the electro-actuated brake caliper. The method may also include providing the target signal to the first functional block for generating a first signal. In the method, the first signal may be compared with a feedback signal for generating an error signal to be sent to the electronic control unit. Further, the method may include performing, by the second functional block, an error validation check to provide information on the operating state of the electro-actuated brake caliper to the electronic control unit.

Abstract: The self-polarised quartz oscillator circuit comprises an amplifier with an output which is connected to a first electrode of the quartz and an input which is connected to a second electrode of the quartz, an output capacitor which is connected to the first electrode of the quartz and an input capacitor which is connected to the second electrode of the quartz. The amplifier is polarised by a current through a MOS polarisation transistor, which is generated in an amplitude regulation assembly which comprises also an amplitude regulation stage. The second electrode of the quartz is connected to the gate of the polarisation transistor and to the amplitude regulation stage in order to modulate the polarisation current and to regulate the oscillation amplitude of the quartz.

Abstract: A method to produce a wood-based product (10) comprises a first step in which, from a trunk (12) of wood, a plurality of sheets of wood (14) are made, a second step in which a stack or pile (15) formed by the sheets (14) disposed one on top of the other is made, and in which, between one sheet (14) and the other, a layer of adhesive material (16) is deposited, along determinate gluing planes (P), a third step in which the stack or pile (15) is subjected to compression for a determinate period of time, so as to allow the reticulation of the adhesive material and to make the sheets (14) adhere permanently to each other, and a fourth step in which the stack or pile (15) is cut along at least a plane transverse to said gluing planes (P), in order to obtain the product (10). In the second step an adhesive with a bi-component silicone base is used.
