Abstract: A thermochromic pellet for a thermochromic indicator of the heating of an electrical connection terminal of an electrical unit, is configured to change colour when its temperature exceeds a predetermined transition temperature. The thermochromic pellet is further configured to be fixed reversibly to a support limb belonging to the thermochromic indicator and fixed to the terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric contact device that is part of an electric switching device able to allow or interrupt the passage of the electric current, comprising at least one moving support (33, 35) and a contact pad (60, 62) mounted on the moving support (33, 35), the moving support (33, 35) being able to move to position the contact pad (60, 62) in contact with a fixed contact surface (38, 40) connected to an electrical conductor, the contact pad (60, 62) comprising a contact surface (34, 36) designed to cooperate with said fixed contact surface (38, 40). The contact surface (34, 36) of the contact pad (60, 62) comprises a first spherical portion, comprising an actual zone of contact with said fixed contact surface (38, 40) in the position allowing the passage of current, and, in the continuation of the first spherical portion, a second convex portion with a variable shape going from spherical to cylindrical.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single-pole switching unit having a housing comprising a moving contact bridge and a pair of fixed contacts cooperating with said moving contact bridge and respectively connected to a current intake conductor, two electric arc cutoff chambers respectively opening onto an open volume of the moving contact bridge, each cutoff chamber being connected to at least one exhaust channel (42). The exhaust channel (42) comprises a rotating gate (48) designed to be rotated around an axis substantially perpendicular to the exhaust channel (42) by the passage of switching gases. The rotating gate (48) comprises an edge (54) positioned across from an inner wall (56) of the exhaust channel, in the first obstruction position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transposition device for a prefabricated electrical canalization, said canalization includes a certain number of conducting bars distributing different phases including or not the neutral, the bars extending substantially parallel to one another, the transposition device being designed to reverse the position of at least two bars with respect to one another in the canalization. This device is characterized in that it is designed to be incorporated in said canalization, and includes the same number of portions of bar as the number of above-mentioned bars of the canalization, at least one of these portions of bar being interrupted inside the device so as to form two parts of portions of bars, these parts includes at their ends a fold towards the outside of said device thus forming an end part that is outwardly offset so as to increase the space between these end parts.

Abstract: A drag damper for use on a rotary wing aircraft rotor comprises a body defining two variable volume chambers linked by a piston. The chambers are filled with fluid and are connected by a restriction port (35) and by a channel (32) of larger cross-section than the restriction port. A secondary piston slidable and pressure-tight piston is fitted in the channel and loaded by an elastic bias (34). The equivalent mass of this secondary piston (33) and of the fluid which it displaces, and the stiffness of the elastic bias (34) are such that the secondary piston is resonant in the channel (32) at the rotation frequency of the rotor, to filter the dynamic component at this frequency of stresses applied to the damper (20).

Abstract: Mechanical assembly for transmitting forces along an axis driven by a substantially axial movement in translation under the effect of a thrust load. This mechanical assembly comprises a transmitting part of the thrust load input movement and a receiving part of the thrust load output movement, said mechanical assembly comprising a detector for detecting the passing of a force threshold represented by a predetermined value of the thrust load, and including an elastic element and an indicator part arranged in such a way that when the thrust load exceeds the threshold value, the thrust load acts on the elastic element and modifies its axial dimension allowing the indicator part to move to the warning position.

Abstract: A device for measuring the power in a microwave transmission and for providing a measuring port at the output of a microwave signal generator or transmitter. First and second quarter wavelength transmission line sections, coupled in series with one another and having characteristic impedances Z.sub.2 and Z.sub.1 respectively, where Z.sub.2 >>Z.sub.1, are coupled at the first section to a predetermined point on a transmission line to be monitored. A port at the free end of the second section allows for the connection of two independent measuring circuits to the transmission line.

Abstract: Corrector consisting in arranging, in the circuit of an electrode of a transistor, or between two transistorized stages, of an amplifier to be corrected, a circuit equipped with at least one varactor in parallel with a resistance and fed by the current flowing through the transistor or transistors under a source impedance which is sufficiently low by comparison with that of this circuit, the effects of the variation in the capacitance of the varactor or varactors, in dependence upon the signal, compensating those due to this varactor effect.
