20120055220 | METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ROLLERS OF A LEVELING MACHINE, LEVELING MACHINE, AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD - A machine for leveling a strip of material includes a fixed supporting frame; an upper leveling device and a lower leveling device, each leveling device forming a cassette with a plurality of separated rollers, rotatably mounted on a frame of a device for rotating the rollers connected to at least some of the rollers by an extender, each extender having one end provided with a removable coupling member with one end for rotating the roller, and a device for locking each removable coupling member by clamping. The clamping locking device includes a device configure for translating the removable coupling members in the direction of travel of the material, and in the opposite direction. | 03-08-2012 |
20120096917 | DEVICE FOR TURNING OVER A FLATTENING ELEMENT AND FLATTENING ELEMENT ENGAGING WITH SAID DEVICE - A device for turning over a flattening element having a plurality of spaced-apart cylinders rotatably mounted on a frame and a device for securing it to the turning-over device, includes two uprights extending vertically from a base. A supporting and securing device for the flattening element engages with the securing device of the flattening element. The supporting and securing device is disposed between the uprights. A device rotates the supporting and securing device about a horizontal axis between a first position in which, when the flattening element is connected to the turning-over device, the cylinders of the flattening element are oriented downward, and a second position in which, when the flattening element is connected to the turning-over device, the cylinders of the flattening element are oriented upward. Vertical translation drive devices vertically translate the supporting and securing device. Each vertical translation drive device is connected to one respective upright. | 04-26-2012 |
20120174644 | LEVELING MACHINE WITH MULTIPLE ROLLERS - A machine for leveling a strip of material contains a lower stationary back plate from which extends vertical beams located on either side of a longitudinal axis. A lower stationary leveling chassis and an upper leveling chassis are provided. Each chassis contains spaced apart rollers. An upper stationary back plate is rigidly secured to the upper end of each beam, and a moving coupling device couples the upper leveling chassis to the upper back plate. A device allows a vertical translational movement of the upper leveling chassis in relation to the upper stationary back plate between a rest position where the rollers of the upper leveling chassis are moved away from rollers of the lower leveling chassis and a leveling position where rollers of the upper leveling chassis are moved towards rollers of the lower leveling chassis and the strip is forced to travel along an undulating path. | 07-12-2012 |

20110213542 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND CORRESPONDING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method of controlling an internal combustion engine that includes an exhaust line fitted with a particulate filter, the method including: a) acquiring a charge parameter relating to a fill level of the particulate filter, b) comparing the charge parameter with at least one determined threshold, and c) bringing the internal combustion engine to a set operating point determined as a function of various criteria of differing levels of importance. Prior to c) and with one of the criteria being the mass flow rate of particles entering the particulate filter, a constraint level coefficient is determined as a function of the result of the comparing b) and applied to the particulate mass flow rate to weight importance of this criterion in determining the engine operating point. Thus, the engine is controlled taking account of the fill level of the particulate filter, making it possible to optimize a compromise between constraint on the particulate flow rate through the exhaust line and other engine control constraints. | 09-01-2011 |
20140203927 | MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD WITH A VIEW TO OPTIMIZING THE USE OF THE POWER SUPPLY - A motor vehicle driving assistance method including at least one electric motor powered by a battery and capable of driving drive wheels of the vehicle, the method including calculating an optimized consumption for the vehicle from an actual power consumption of the vehicle and from values collected by sensors of the vehicle, over a same path that the vehicle is in a process of traveling, the optimized consumption corresponding to a reference driving style; and informing the driver of a distance that he/she could travel using the power supply available on-board the vehicle if he/she were to adopt the reference driving style, or else the driver is informed of energy savings per unit of distance traveled that he/she might obtain if the reference driving style were adopted. | 07-24-2014 |
20140336859 | ADAPTATION OF A SIMULATED ENGINE-BRAKING INSTRUCTION - A method for adapting an engine-braking simulation for a vehicle provided with a regenerative braking device includes generating an arbitrated braking signal based on a simulated engine-braking signal developed on the basis of signals output from an acceleration pedal, and based on at least one signal output from at least one active safety system. The method also includes generating a braking instruction intended for the regenerative braking device by time filtration of the arbitrated braking signal. | 11-13-2014 |
