Abstract: A dial for a timepiece includes a support and a mother-of-pearl sheet, the mother-of-pearl sheet having a front face and a rear face facing the support and on which a pattern has been printed. The mother-of-pearl sheet has a thickness between 50 ?m and 100 ?m so that the pattern printed on the rear face of the mother-of-pearl sheet appears transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions of illumination.

Abstract: A method for the galvanoplastic deposition of a gold alloy on an electrode dipped into a bath including gold metal, organometallic compounds, a wetting agent, a sequestering agent and free cyanide, the alloy metals being copper metal and silver metal allowing a mirror-bright yellow gold alloy to be deposited on the electrode characterized in that the bath respects a proportion of 21.53% gold, 78.31% copper and 0.16% silver.

Abstract: An element including a body including at least one recess forming the pattern cavity for a decoration, the at least one recess being entirely filled by a galvanic deposition in order to form an element inlaid with at least one metallic decoration with improved visual quality. The element includes a device for fixedly securing the at least one metallic decoration communicating with the at least one recess in order to improve the securing of the at least one decoration against said element.

Abstract: To fabricate an external timepiece element in which there is inserted at least one decoration, the decoration is formed of anterior and posterior parts respectively intended to emerge from the external element and to serve as a mechanism of anchoring the decoration in the external element. A master mold is provided, the master mold including a hollow pattern cavity matching dimensions of the anterior part of the decoration. The decoration is placed in the pattern cavity. The master mold is filled by the galvanic deposition of a metal. The external element obtained is removed from the master mold.

Abstract: Method for securing a decoration (1) to an external timepiece element (2) coated with a galvanically deposited metallic layer (3). Instead of the decoration (1), a dummy part (5) is temporarily placed in the hole (4) pierced in the external element (2), and the galvanic deposition (3) is then carried out. After the deposition has been levelled, the dummy part (5) is removed and the decoration is placed in the hole (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial robot, comprising a movable carriage (2, 22, 42, 52-1, 52-2), on which a working device (3.1, 23.1, 43.1) is vertically movably supported and can be lowered from a first area above a safety plane to a second area below the safety plane. A protection device is arranged in the safety plane and, in a first position, prevents the working device (3.1, 23.1, 43.1) from lowering from the first area to the second area. In a second position of the protection device, the working device (3.1, 23.1, 43.1) is able to lower to the second area. The protection device is attached to the movable carriage (2, 22, 42, 52-I, 52-2) and associated with the working device (3.1, 23.1, 43.1) such that the protection of persons and machines is ensured using a simple design.

Abstract: A headlight for vehicles has a light source formed as a gas discharge lamp, a ballast unit connected with the gas discharge lamp and producing high voltage, and a unit for preventing dispersion of electromagnetic radiation caused by the gas discharge lamp. The unit includes an electrical filtering circuit arranged near the gas discharge lamp and having a plurality of components, and a housing surrounds at least a part of the components of the electrical filtering circuit.
