Patent number: 8810115Abstract: A sparkplug including an induction coil and an electrode. The induction coil includes two end portions, the electrode extending in a continuation of one of the two end portions. The induction coil includes a conducting wire wound to form a succession of turns, the one of the two end portions having a terminal turn connected to the electrode. The one of the two end portions includes a plurality of coaxial end turns that extend between the terminal turn and an upstream turn, and the terminal turn has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the upstream turn so to reduce strength of the electric field induced in the one of said two end portions near the terminal turn.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Renault S.A.S.Inventors: Marc Pariente, Andre Agneray, Xavier Jaffrezic

Patent number: 8746213Abstract: An injector including a nozzle that includes an opening and a seat, a needle movably mounted in the nozzle and having an end defining a valve in a contact area with the seat, a mechanism for vibrating the valve, a first acoustic-impedance breaking area at a first distance from the valve along the nozzle, and another first acoustic-impedance breaking area at a second distance from the valve along the needle. Each of the first and second distances is such that the respective propagation time of acoustic waves along the distance is: Ti=ni*[?/2], where ni is a positive integer coefficient different from zero with i=3 for the first distance and i=4 for the second distance, ? being a period of the vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Renault S.A.S.Inventors: Andre Agneray, Nadim Malek, Marc Pariente, Laurent Levin

Patent number: 8230840Abstract: The invention relates to an injector including a needle mounted in a nozzle and having an end defining a valve, the needle being connected at the other end to an actuator including first, second and third portions, the first and third portions being provided on either side of the second portion, the three portions being tightened together in order to form a block having two axially opposite limits, the first portion being connected with the needle at one of said limits, and an excitation means for vibrating the second portion according to setpoint period ?. According to the invention, the length between the two limits of the block is such that the propagation time T of the acoustic waves generated by the vibrations of the second portion of the actuator and running along that length meets the equation: T=n*[?/2], where n is an integer positive multiplication coefficient different from zero.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Renault S.A.S.Inventors: Andre Agneray, Nadim Malek, Laurent Levin, Marc Pariente
