Abstract: Disclosed is a masking material intended to be disseminated by an ammunition or a launcher to create a cloud that masks a target with respect to electromagnetic radiation in a given wavelengths range. This material contains at least one aluminium oxyhydroxide, such as boehmite or pseudoboehmite. Also disclosed is an ammunition enabling the dissemination of such masking material and the use of aluminium oxyhydroxide, such as boehmite or pseudoboehmite as a masking material that can be disseminated by an ammunition.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of at least one tetraphenylphosphonium halogenated salt as smoke-producing agent in a pyrotechnic composition designed to ensure masking of a target with regard to electromagnetic radiation in a given wavelengths range. Also disclosed is also a smoke-producing pyrotechnic composition including at least one tetraphenylphosphonium halogenated salt.

Abstract: A DC voltage converter of the quasi-resonant Buck type includes an input port having a first terminal designed to receive a voltage level to be converted, an output port having a first terminal designed to supply a converted voltage level, a first switch connected in series to the first terminal of the input port and a regulation circuit configured for: generating a ripple voltage, rising or falling depending on a closed or open state of the first switch; generating a setpoint signal proportional to a difference between an average level of converted voltage and a reference voltage; performing a first comparison between the setpoint signal and the converted voltage level to which the ripple voltage has been added; and depending on the result of the first comparison, generating or not an activation signal on its output controlling the closing of the first switch for a predefined period.

Abstract: A method of tank leak diagnosis in a tank ventilation device including a fuel tank which is connected at least indirectly through a storage and tank ventilation valve with a suction pipe of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle, with the storage having an aeration conduit with a check valve, includes performing a tank leak diagnosis by a negative pressure after turning off of the internal combustion engine; and producing the negative pressure in the fuel tank immediately before the turning off of the internal combustion engine.
