  • Patent number: 11940046
    Abstract: An actuator for the actuation of at least one movable member of a motor vehicle transmission. The actuator includes a housing and a cover defining an internal volume in which are received at least one electric motor having a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft extending along an axis X1, a motor pinion fixed to the opposite end of the shaft from the rotor, a circuit board for supplying power to the stator and controlling the electric motor, and a reduction mechanism driven by the motor pinion. The housing or the cover includes an electrical connector which incorporates a semipermeable membrane allowing an exchange of gas between the inside of the actuator and the external surroundings.

  • Patent number: 9541036
    Abstract: A fluid flow valve that includes a movable closure member and a body that includes a projecting part that receives the closure member. The body is designed to be attached to a support in such a way that the projecting part is introduced into a housing in the support. In addition, the body is designed to allow the valve to be secured to the support in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of extension of the projecting part. The invention is suitable for the recirculation of exhaust gases of motor vehicle engines.
