Patent number: 8193884Abstract: An electrical switching device that can be employed in a sliding button, a rotating button, in a position switch, or an impact sensor. This device includes: a permanent magnet creating a magnetic field and a microswitch controlled between at least two states, by being aligned along two different orientations of field lines of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. The microswitch and the permanent magnet are fixed relative to one another and a movable ferromagnetic part is moved between two positions so as to act on the orientation of the field lines generated by the permanent magnet so as to impose on the microswitch one or other of its two states.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2007Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Laurent Chiesi, Benoit Grappe, Mathias Lamien, Sylvain Paineau

Patent number: 7915982Abstract: A device for detecting three states, namely ‘on’, ‘off’ and ‘triggered’ of an electric circuit breaker. The device includes a mobile magnetic device, movable between three positions corresponding to the three states of the circuit breaker, and at least one permanent magnet generating a magnetic field provided with magnetic field lines for driving two DIP switches via the magnetic effect. In each of the magnetic device's positions, the two DIP switches are controlled in either an open or closed position to form a specific combination representing one of the three states of the circuit breaker.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2007Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Laurent Chiesi, Stephane Collot, Benoit Grappe, Sylvain Paineau, Marc Vernay

Patent number: 7724111Abstract: A microsystem, including a magnetic microactuator, with a mobile element supported by a substrate and controlled by magnetic effect between a first position and a second position for switching at least one electric circuit. A permanent magnet or a solenoid subjects the mobile element to a first uniform magnetic field to hold the mobile element in the first position. An energizing coil external to the substrate, on energizing, subjects the mobile element to a second magnetic field to move the mobile element from the first position to the second position, the energizing coil being of solenoid type and surrounding the substrate supporting the mobile element.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Sylvain Paineau, Caroline Coutier, Amalia Garnier, Benoît Grappe, Laurent Chiesi

Publication number: 20090242367Abstract: A device for monitoring a position of a movable portion mounted on a casing of a switching electrical apparatus, the movable portion configured to adopt at least two determined positions. The device includes a permanent magnet and a reader including an antenna to interchange data without contact by electromagnetic coupling with a receiver element associated with the switching electrical apparatus. The receiver element includes an antenna controlled by a microswitch switched between two states depending on the position of the movable portion to establish or interrupt the electromagnetic coupling between the reader and the receiver element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2007Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES SASInventors: Marc Bruel, Mathias Lamien, Sylvain Paineau, Fabrice Roudet

Patent number: 6754405Abstract: An electronic assembly comprising an electronic module provided with optical interconnection and heat removal means, the heat removal means comprising a soleplate dedicated to removing heat on which the module is mounted. The interconnection means is independent of the soleplate and preferably comprises a printed circuit and an optical fiber included in the printed circuit. The optical fiber has an end put accurately in register with an optical contact of the module by a BGA type mounting of the printed circuit on the module. A BGA type mounting consists in placing with precision firstly balls on the module and secondly areas on the circuit, and then in bringing the balls and areas face to face so that the balls center themselves automatically with the areas by capillarity.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2001Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Olivier Vendier, Marc Huan, Sylvain Paineau
