The odometer is designed for vehicles which are displaced along a track in which there are discontinuities (5,6) such as rail joints. The odometer has a housing (4) which contains a discontinuity sensor, such as a vibration sensor, which controls a processor. The processor counts the number of sensed discontinuities, and deduces from the count, data relative to the distance traveled by the vehicle...

The jaws of the boot are moved by a piston which is operated by two connection circuits. One circuit exerts a rate of increase of about 0% whereas the other circuit exerts a negative rate of increase less than the first. The rate of increase is the ratio between the release threshold of the base on the ski defined by ASTM standard 1-7 and the release threshold according to test 1-1 of this standar...

A method for compacting powders for powder metallurgy comprises packing powders for powder metallurgy formulated with a lubricant in a compacting die applied with a lubricant on inner wall surfaces thereof, and subjecting the powders to warm or hot compaction. The powders contain the lubricant in an amount up to 0.2 wt%, non-inclusive of 0%, based on the total of the powders and the lubricant.

A downhole drilling machine (12) can be used for directional drilling for example for drilling through roadbeds. The drill bit (14) of the machine has an unsymmetrical face so that it drills a curved hole when it drills without being rotated. When it is rotated, it drills straight. The shank (16) of the drill bit has an unsymmetrical splined connection (18) with a sleeve (19) which in its turn has...

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for detecting faults in the context of measurement quantities in a motor vehicle. At least one measurement quantity is represented by two redundant signal values. The time-dependent changes of the signal values are determined for fault recognition and a fault condition can be assumed when the signal changes no longer correlate with each othe...

Nonextruded concentrates in particle form, each particle comprising: A) a matrix consisting of a nonextruded particle of an olefin polymer or copolymer, having a porosity, expressed in percentage of voids on the volume of the particle, higher than or equal to 15%; B) one or more additives, pigments or fillers, or combinations thereof, deposited on the surface of the matrix (A) and/or inside it...

The parking brake has an electric motor (2) driving a screw (4) running inside a nut (7) that moves in translation when the screw is driven. A plate (6) attached to the end of the cable is driven in rotation by the movement of the nut to apply or release the brake. A spring (8) stores energy as the brake is operated and assists movement of the nut in the reverse direction.

Modular system allows application to various different vehicles. The adaptive system for controlling automatic vehicle transmission includes a number of modular stages. The first stage (12) evaluates the driving conditions as a function of a number of indices representative of different factors. The second stage (15) adjoining the first provides for selection of the operating mode from amongst se...

A method for using dental acrylic resins, the method comprising mixing a liquid monomer of methyl methacrylate with a polymer powder of methyl methacrylate, forming the mixture into an arbitrary shape by molding, filling, applying or other means, and then polymerizing and curing the formed mixture, wherein organic compounds selected from acryloyl morpholine, a coumarone resin, vinyl stearate, poly...

The wheel has a toothed wheel (18) attached to the hub. The toothed wheel meshes with two pinions (951,952) mounted in rotation on a wheel carrier (3). The rotation of these two pinions is controlled by two electric traction motors (971,972), with their rotors directly coupled to the pinions. The two motors operate in parallel, producing an additive torque at the wheel.

A reconstitution system consists of a bottle (2) of a rigid or semi rigid transparent or translucent material, containing medication in powder, freeze-dried or liquid form, and a supple pouch (10) containing a solvent (15) to be mixed with the medication in the bottle. The bottle is filled with the solvent to the upper line (L) of the scale. A reconstitution system consists of a bottle (2) of a ri...
