  • Patent number: 10481213
    Abstract: Disclosed is an overcharge detection method for detecting an overcharging of an accumulator of a battery including a set of parallel branches each including accumulators disposed in series, wherein the method includes steps of: (i) collecting the measurements of the currents flowing in the branches of the battery; (ii) identifying at least one variation in current in one branch with respect to at least one other branch as a function of the measurements of current collected; (iii) determining a level of state of charge of the branch; and (iv) detecting an overcharging of an accumulator in the branch as a function of at least the variation in current identified and of the level of state of charge determined.

  • Patent number: 10106036
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus, including: a circuit breaker having a breaking capacity and a breaking current; a DC voltage source including two batteries connected in parallel, connected in series with the circuit breaker, the sum of short-circuit currents of the batteries being greater than the breaking capacity, each battery including: a first branch including storage batteries and a switch connected in series; a second branch connected in parallel with the first branch and including a free-wheeling diode; an ammeter measuring output current; and a control circuit configured to detect a short-circuit. The control circuits simultaneously keep a majority of switches open and close one switch to apply a current passing through the circuit breaker which is higher than the breaking current and lower than the breaking capacity.

  • Patent number: 9931913
    Abstract: A device for moving at least one door leaf, includes a fixed beam that is fixed to the frame, a moving beam that is connected to the fixed beam by swinging rails which allow it to move transversely with respect to the axes of elongation of the fixed and moving beams, a motor which drives the leaf in a movement parallel to the axis of elongation of the moving beam and which, during the swinging of the leaf, also drives a drive cam which is provided with a slot in which there is engaged a pin that is fixed to the fixed beam, and a central roller which is connected to the moving beam and circulates in a groove in the fixed beam during the movement of the leaf.
