Abstract: In a method of charging several electrochemical cells 5, 6, 7 connected in series, by a charger 1 which allows adjusting the voltage and the charging current, the voltage of each cell is detected permanently, and when a first cell reaches a predetermined threshold voltage, an increment of the charging current is applied to several cells 5, 6, 7 and simultaneously a shunt resistor of a current equivalent to the increment in the charging current of the several said cells 5, 6, 7 is connected in parallel to said first cell, and when each of the subsequent cells reaches the threshold voltage, a shunt resistor of a current equal to the increment in charging current of said several cells 5, 6, 7 is also connected in parallel to this cell. The invention is applicable to the use of accumulator systems for powering electric vehicles and thermal vehicles with self-contained electric mode.

Abstract: A self-extinguishing expansion switch or circuit breaker, including an extinguishing chamber and an expansion chamber connected by a duct. The extinguishing chamber is positioned above the expansion chamber. An axially movable tube supports a movable arcing contact which is cooperable with a stationary arcing contact. The axially movable tube separates axially from a conducting tube supported by an operating rod such that the circuit breaker is in an isolated position beyond an open position.

Abstract: The device measures the current intensity in a conductor by FARADAY effect in a monomode optic fiber. It comprises a separator-polarizer formed for example by two coplanar half-disks of polarizing foil, whose polarization directions form a required angle, 90.degree. or 45.degree.. Photodiodes formed by a two-quadrant photodetector in the shape of a disk of the same diameter as that formed by the separator-polarizer, are located behind from the separator-polarizer. The photodiodes are connected to an electronic unit.

Abstract: An emitter assembly of low-power electromagnetic signals with random or pseudo-random frequency variation is located inside an electromagnetic shield to be monitored. These signals are detected by at least one synchronous detection receiver located outside the shield, a second transmission channel, preferably constituted by an optic fiber, connecting the emitter and receiver assemblies to enable synchronous detection of signals transmitted via an electromagnetic channel through the shield. The amplitude of the electromagnetic signals received by the detector is significant of the quality of the shielding.
