A metalclad substation having a busbar isolating switch including an operating mechanism housed in the busbar compartment. The movable contacts of the isolating switch are housed in a compartment separated by a tight insulating partition from the busbar compartment. Tight partitioning of the compartments enables operations to be carried out in the different compartments while maintaining at least ...

The present invention relates to a disc brake for use on a railway vehicle. The brake includes a service brake for normal brake applications and an auxiliary or parking brake which is spring applied and hydraulically or pneumatically released. The disc brake includes a caliper supporting a service brake actuator and an auxiliary brake actuator arranged to apply opposed friction pads to opposite si...

The accelerometric sensor is of the type comprising a fixed mass, a mobile mass and two flectional vibrating beams each having ends that are linked to the masses. According to the invention, the masses and the beams consist of one single piece machined in a same plate of material of uniform thickness, e.g. in a piezoelectric material such as quartz. The single piece preferably comprises two second...

CONTAINER USING A MASS OF POROUS MATERIAL FOR LIQUID RETENTION There are disclosed a container and a method of aspirating body liquids, that allow controlled capillary attraction to hold the liquid in place for storage, but not so tightly that the liquid cannot be aspirated away. A mass of compatible porous material is used in the container and comprises fibers with a controlled capillary attracti...

The invention relates to a mixture control system which provides the possibility of interrupting fuel during overrun operation. The mixture control system includes apparatus for controllably reducing fuel metering at the start of overrun operation and/or controllably resuming the metering of fuel after the end of overrun operation with the controllable reduction and/or resumption taking place via ...

Flat envelopes or bags have incorporated within one edge fold an opening thread 2 and adjacent this edge a weakened area substantially centrally of the edge. This area is formed by at least two aligned cuts 1 through respective walls of the envelope substantially parallel to the edge to define a detachable area in which the opening thread is gripped.
