Abstract: Described herein is a mounting system with measurement of the weight of the occupant for a seat of a motor vehicle; the mounting system has a bottom frame rigidly connected to the bodywork of the motor vehicle, a top frame, which supports the seat and is mounted in a floating way on the bottom frame, and a plurality of weight sensors, each of which is set between the bottom frame and the top frame and is connected to the bottom frame or to the top frame by means of a single bolt integrated in the weight sensor itself and locked by a nut; a surface of the nut facing the weight sensor has a spherical shape, and set between the nut and the frame is a washer having a spherical central surface, which reproduces in negative form the shape of the corresponding spherical surface of the nut.

Abstract: A front fender for an automobile; the fender is provided with an external element; with a supporting trestle, which supports the external element, presents a rigid horizontal supporting bar, and is adapted to be rigidly connected to a frame of the automobile; and with horizontal sword, which on one side is protrudingly mounted on the horizontal supporting bar and on the opposite side is rigidly secured to the external element at an upper portion of the external element itself.

Abstract: An inductive sensor which uses two resonant LC circuits, one of reference and the other for measurement. The measurement inductor is arranged close to the active surface of the sensor. The reference inductor is shielded so that it is influenced less or not at all by the metallic body, but can follow the variations caused by the environmental temperature on the measurement inductor. The two LC circuits are excited by way of distinct pulses, so as to produce similar dampened oscillations, which are slightly different in terms of amplitude and phase. The reference oscillation can be elaborated to obtain a reference amplitude at a precise instant or during a reading time window to observe the oscillation of the measurement inductor.

Abstract: An inductive programming switch for applications in special environments, comprising an inductive component and a container in which the inductive component is accommodated proximate to a wall of the container, the inductive component being connected to an electronic evaluation circuit, which is adapted to detect variations of parameters of the inductive component caused by the approach of a metallic object to the wall, the evaluation circuit being adapted to detect and identify a sequence of approach/spacing of the metallic object with respect to the wall and for modifying its functional parameters according to the sequence.

Abstract: A hinge for a front bonnet of a motor vehicle; the hinge is provided with a mobile bracket, which is rigidly connected to the front bonnet, and a fixed bracket, which presents an elongated shape, is hinged to the mobile bracket at a rotation axis of the hinge, and is rigidly connected to a frame of the motor vehicle by means of two fastening screws arranged through two through holes; the rotation axis is arranged at a first end of the fixed bracket, a first through hole presents an elongated shape and is arranged at a second end of the fixed bracket, and a second through hole presents a circular shape and is arranged in an intermediate position between the two ends of the fixed bracket; the first hole is engaged by a first fastening screw which is tightened to the frame with calibrated and limited tightening torque so as to allow a rotation of the fixed bracket about a second fastening screw in case of a collision against the front bonnet at the hinge.

Abstract: An inductive proximity sensor, comprising a resonant circuit adapted to be affected electrically by the approach of metallic materials and comprising a control for storing a value of a sampling instant when an output value of the resonant circuit is measured, the sampling instant corresponding substantially to an instant in which a first amplitude of the response of the resonant circuit to a pulse applied thereto, measured in the presence of a ferromagnetic material arranged at a distance from the sensor, is substantially equal to a second amplitude of the pulse response measured in the presence of a non-ferromagnetic material arranged at the same distance.
