  • Patent number: 5160928
    Abstract: System for regulating the mean current flowing through a load (1), particularly an electric device controlling the phenomenon to be regulated, from initial variable control information (.alpha.), a DC voltage source (V.sub.alim) being provided for supplying this load, comprising: a measuring device (4) for permanently measuring the value of the variable information (.alpha.); a determination device (5, 6) for causing a mean theoretical current value to be applied to the load (1) to correspond to each value of the information (.alpha.

  • Patent number: 5140320
    Abstract: An electric remote control device (20), includes a metal body (25) containing sliding pushers (27) associated two by two and actuated from an actuating member (22). Each pusher is associated with a converter for generating an electric signal one parameter of which is representative of the movement and/or position of the pusher. A signal processor processes the signal collected at the output of the receiver. At the end of the metal body (25) opposite the actuating member is provided a metal base (35) through which pass the rods of the pushers (27) associated with the converter. At least one printed circuit board (40), supporting the electronic components, in particular those of the converter and the signal processor, is disposed substantially perpendicularly to the base (35) in the central zone thereof, between and/or along the rods of the pushers (27). Supports (39) made from heat conducting material are fixed for heat conducting to the base and support the printed circuit boards.
