  • Patent number: 11964565
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a trunnion mount for mounting an engine, in particular a combustion engine, to a chassis, comprising a support element rigidly connected and/or connectable to the engine having a ring portion with an outer bearing surface, which may be arranged concentrically around the crankshaft; a female support having an inner bearing surface for surrounding the bearing surface of the support element, the female support forming the link between the chassis and the engine; and a rubber bearing arranged between the inner bearing surface of the female support and the outer bearing surface of the support element. In one or more examples, the trunnion mount includes a rubber bearing that is directly vulcanized on at least one of the bearing surfaces and/or wherein the ring portion is formed as a separate element from a mounting portion of the support element and connectable thereto via axial screws.

  • Patent number: 6870819
    Abstract: Radio transmission of chronometric information. A device comprising an antenna (A1, A2) to which there are coupled on one hand a generator (G1, G2) generating a signal to be sent (e1, e2) and a reception processing circuit (C1, C2), capable of processing a received signal (r1, e2) where the signals exchanged have the same carrier frequency. Separate time segments are generated with successive random positions. Transmission is enabled only during these time segments, whilst reception is enabled only outside these segments, making it possible to use the time markers of the signals without any effect of recurrent masking of the reception signal by the transmission signal.

  • Patent number: 5812625
    Abstract: A clock generates clock pulses defining a plurality of clock cycles. A circuit is connected to receive the clock pulses and measure a primary time of occurrence of an event with respect to a clock cycle. Logic circuits are provided to generate a timing pulse representing a time interval between the event and a clock pulse of the subsequent clock cycle. The timing pulse begins at the time of the event and ends on the occurrence of a subsequent clock pulse. A filter circuit receives the timing pulse and generates in response thereto a signal having an amplitude representing the duration of the timing pulse. The amplitude is measured to determine the width of the timing pulse thereby identifying the occurrence of the event with respect to a subsequently occurring clock pulse.

  • Patent number: 5455541
    Abstract: A frequency synthesizer device which comprises a combination of: an oscillator, a phase comparator, a frequency generator having an input receiving the reference frequency of value OF and N outputs, with N being a whole number between 1 and N, each output being designed to deliver a frequency having a value equal to 2.sup.N FO, a phase-locked loop consisting of N links connected in series between the output of the oscillator and the first input of the comparator, each link comprising a mixer having a first input connected to one of the outputs of the frequency generator, a second input and an output, the second input of the current mixer being connected to the output of the preceding mixer and the second input of the mixer being connected to the output of the oscillator.

  • Patent number: 5428600
    Abstract: A relay satellite receives, from stations on the ground, modulated high-frequency signals situated in two different frequency bands. One of the modulations is narrow band and the other broad band. The satellite retransmits a multiplexed signal resulting from the phase modulation, of a sub-carrier consisting of the signal modulated by the narrow band modulation. The phase modulation is performed using signals drawn from the signals that carry the broad-band modulation. The user stations receive this multiplexed signal and extract therefrom, by filtering, the narrow band modulated sub-carrier, which can be used for phase-demodulating the multiplexed signal in order to recover signals which carry the broad-band modulation.

  • Patent number: 5241700
    Abstract: The invention concerns a feedback control loop comprising a mixer comprising a first input receiving an electromagnetic signal, and a second input receiving a first local signal; an intermediate frequency line mounted between the output of the mixer and the input of a phase comparator which receives on a second input a second local signal and has an output; and a feedback line connected between this output and the second input of the input mixer, and comprising a loop filter controlling a variable oscillator for providing the said first local signal as well as a second variable oscillator for providing the second local signal.
