  • Patent number: 11841687
    Abstract: An electromechanical watch including an electromechanical motor (4) mechanically coupled to an analogue display (AD) and formed by two coils (B1, B2) through which the magnetic circuit (10) of the stator passes. A first of the two coils is connected to a voltage detection circuit (CD1, CD2) arranged to be able to detect any voltage induced in this first coil during intervals of time occurring, in a stepping functioning mode of the motor, between drive pulses to detect whether an unwanted step is made by the rotor (18) during these intervals of time. The electromechanical watch includes at least one switch (T1, T2, T3) that is controlled by an electronic control circuit (CEC) to short-circuit the second coil during each of said intervals of time, in order to passively hold the rotor in the idle position in which it is situated momentarily between the drive pulses.

  • Publication number: 20220373976
    Abstract: An electromechanical horological movement including an analogue time display device and provided with at least one electromechanical motor, to drive at least one indicator of the analogue time display, and a generator including a rotor and associated with an oscillating mass coaxial with the time display device, this horological movement including a first wheel provided with a shaft, coaxial with said indicator, which is guided in rotation, in a main embodiment, by a fixed cylindrical tube around which is rotatably mounted at least one cannon of the time display device. The first wheel is in meshing relation with the rotor of the generator and is fixedly connected to the oscillating mass, on the side opposite the analogue time display, so that this oscillating mass can rotate the rotor of the generator via the first wheel.

  • Publication number: 20210397133
    Abstract: A navigation instrument including an orientation angle calculation unit, in particular the first and second orientation angles, wherein the orientation angle calculation unit is configured to be able to determine the first and second orientation angles in a given order and also in reverse order; and wherein the calculation unit is arranged to be able to choose between said given order and said reverse order, to calculate the first and second orientation angles, based on a comparison between an indicator of a risk of error, quantifying a risk of instability of said unit during the determination of the first and second orientation angles, and a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210397141
    Abstract: A display permutation method (500) implemented by a display device (100) for detecting the passage between a first orientation (131) of said display device (100) and a second orientation (132) of said display device (100) so as to permute at least one first indicator (110) between at least one first operating mode (101) and at least one second operating mode (102), and at least one digital display (140) between at least one first display mode (141) and at least one second display mode (142).

  • Publication number: 20150005708
    Abstract: An injection device for injecting injection material, comprising: an elastic deformable element (3) able to exert a pushing force on a piston (20) of a syringe (2) so as to eject a quantity of injection material out of the syringe (2); a stopper (4) for retaining the extension of said spring (3) when the stopper is in a first position (A) and for releasing the extension of said elastic deformable element when the stopper is in a second position (B); an electric actuator (5) for moving the stopper (4) from its first position to its second position or from its second position to its first position.
