  • Patent number: 12049289
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the direction and the amplitude of a force applied to a system (IO) comprising a stationary portion (13) and a mobile portion (12) which can deform when exposed to said force. Mechanical deformations applied to the mobile portion when exposed to said force are measured by measuring a distance between the stationary portion and the mobile portion in the direction of application of the force, and the distance measurements are processed in order to determine the amplitude and the direction of the force.

  • Patent number: 11811280
    Abstract: The rotor for a squirrel-cage asynchronous rotating electrical machine comprises two compaction elements clamping a cylindrical magnetic mass, short-circuit rings facing the face of the compaction elements opposite that in contact with the magnetic mass, and conductive bars housed in recesses in the magnetic mass and distributed evenly over at least one diameter of the magnetic mass such that the short-circuit rings and the conductive bars form a squirrel cage. Retaining means distributed over at least one diameter of each short-circuit ring and over at least one diameter of each compaction element interact so as to secure the short-circuit rings and the compaction elements together, the pitch circle diameters of the retaining means on the rings and the compaction elements being smaller than the pitch circle diameter of the conductive bars.

  • Patent number: 9808661
    Abstract: Extinguishing a fire by pressurizing a tank containing an extinguishing liquid. According to the invention, the tank containing the liquid is provided with an expulsion outlet at a front end, a gas generator (17) is installed at a rear end, and a diaphragm forming an inflatable bag (19) is installed inside the tank, being folded prior to triggering in a confinement space at the front of the gas generator, the outlet from the generator being associated with a deflector (47) including a rearwardly-directed ejection passage (49).

  • Patent number: 8453575
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a pyrotechnic method for generating gas at two successive flow rates—a first flow rate then a second flow rate, said first flow rate being higher than said second flow rate—which comprises: the combustion of a first pyrotechnic charge (10) in a first combustion chamber (1) discharging into a second combustion chamber (2) via at least one nozzle (3); and the combustion of a second pyrotechnic charge (20) in said second combustion chamber (2) discharging to the outside via at least one vent (21). Characteristically, said first chamber (1) operates at high pressure and said second chamber (2) operates at low pressure. Another subject of the invention is a pyrotechnic gas generator suitable for the implementation of said method. The invention is most particularly applicable in the context of side protection airbags (“curtain airbags”), used in automobile safety.

  • Publication number: 20060065337
    Abstract: The technical field of the invention is that of pyrotechnic actuators having the essential function either of inflating a structure or of displacing a component by way of a ram. The subject of the invention relates more specifically to a gas-generating actuator (1, 100) comprising an ignition system (3, 103) and an energetic charge. The main characteristic of the actuator (1, 100) is that the charge is made up of a reducing material (4, 104) and of an oxidizing fluid (2, 102) which are separate.
