Abstract: A sensor for venous networks of a part of a living body, having an infrared illumination source, a waveguide illuminated by the infrared illumination source and having, on one face, at least one extraction zone intended to extract the infrared rays from the waveguide in at least one main extraction direction, an image acquisition means disposed opposite the one face so as to define between them a passage through the entrance of which the part of the living body can enter, and having a sensitive element, the or each extraction zone being such that the or each main extraction direction of the extraction zone oriented so as not to intercept the sensitive element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for slaving the activation of a set of infrared emitters of a sensor of venous networks to the presence of a living body between this set and an image acquisition means of the sensor. The method is characterized in that each infrared emitter (E) is activated if the presence of a part of the living body (CV) is detected by at least one presence detector (DP) which is associated therewith and each infrared emitter (E) is deactivated as long as the presence of a part of the living body (CV) is not detected.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a sensor (100) for venous networks of a part (50) of a living body, comprising: an infrared illumination source (102), a waveguide (104) illuminated by said infrared illumination source (102) and having, on one face (112), at least one extraction zone (106) intended to extract the infrared rays (114) from said waveguide (104) in at least one main extraction direction (116), an image acquisition means (108) disposed opposite said face (112) so as to define between them a passage (118) through the entrance of which said part (50) of the living body can enter, and comprising a sensitive element (110), the or each extraction zone (106) being such that the or each main extraction direction (116) of said extraction zone (106) is oriented so as not to intercept said sensitive element (110).

Abstract: Hydraulic machine, in particular hydraulic motor, comprising a casing, a differential piston (4) having a region of large cross section and a region of smaller cross section, which can slide with a reciprocating movement respectively in the casing and in a housing coaxial to, and of smaller diameter than, the casing, the piston separating two chambers of the casing and being provided at the location of its large cross section and its small cross section with sealing lips (48, 49) which are oriented in opposite directions and which face one another. The sealing lips (48, 49) are provided on detachable circular rings (50, 51), and the piston (4) is molded in one piece.

Abstract: A hydraulic machine includes a casing with a body and a cover; a separation member which can make a reciprocating movement and defines two chambers; hydraulic switching elements including a distribution member; a compartment in the body of the casing connected to a pressurized-liquid inlet, and initiating elements including a pusher connected to the separation member, these initiating elements being able, at the end of the stroke, to cause a sudden change in the position of the switching elements, under the action of an elastic member to reverse the stroke. The distribution member has a distribution slide valve applied against a flat plate which is fixed relative to the body of the casing, the slide valve being able to slide in a fluid-type manner, without a seal, against the plate, which has orifices connected respectively to the chambers and to a liquid outlet orifice.

Abstract: Hydraulic machine includes: a casing; a piston slidable therein and separating two chambers; hydraulic switching elements for supplying liquid to and for evacuating the chambers, including at least one connecting rod acting on a distribution member which can adopt two stable positions; and initiating elements having a pusher which, at the end of the piston stroke, can cause a sudden change in the position of the switching elements, under the action of an elastic member to reverse the stroke. Each end of the elastic member is secured to an articulation member respectively accommodated in a housing provided on the connecting rod and on another moving part, each housing being open in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of the force exerted by the elastic member, such that each articulation member can be removed from its open housing against the action of the force, thereby simplifying assembly and disassembly.
