| 20120036933 | METHOD FOR THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND CONTACTLESS CHARACTERIZATION OF A SUBSTANTIALLY SPHERICAL MULTILAYERED STRUCTURE AND RELATED DEVICE - A method is provided for the non-destructive and contactless characterization of a multilayered structure having a substantially spherical shape and including at least two layers, separated by interfaces. The method includes using a laser for locally heating the structure in a thermoelastic state so that the structure is vibrated in a non-destructive manner, measuring the resonance frequencies of the vibration modes of the structure and deriving at least one characteristic concerning the integrity or the shape or the mechanical behavior of the structure from the resonance frequencies of the structure. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110286623 | MOVING PART AND ELECTRODYNAMIC TRANSDUCER PROVIDED WITH SUCH A MOVING PART - The invention relates to a moving part for an electro-dynamic transducer, including at least one mandrel supporting a winding of at least one coiled wire. The mandrel includes at least one first element rigidly connected inside at least one second element for guiding the moving part inside the transducer. The first element has a winding support for the coiled wire so that the coil is located inside the mandrel, as well as vibration transmitter, such as a diaphragm, the vibration being generated by the movement of the coil induced by the flow of current in the coil wire. The invention also relates to an electro-dynamic transducer including such a moving part. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110268689 | PHOTO-CROSSLINKABLE ANTIFOULING COMPOSITIONS, FILMS OBTAINED FROM SAID COMPOSITIONS, AND CORRESPONDING USES - Photo-crosslinkable antifouling compositions, in particular antibacterial, antifungal and anti-algae ones, which include the combination of at least one telechelic oligoisoprene of a particular formula with an agent for crosslinking the oligoisoprene. The antifouling film is obtained by applying a thin layer of such a liquid composition on a substrate and is crosslinked at room temperature by exposure to visible and/or UV radiations. The film can be used for preventing the occurrence of a biofilm on any surface in a humid or aqueous environment, and can be used as an additive for preparing materials with a view to imparting bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal properties thereto. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20100172534 | MAGNETIC STRUCTURE FOR AN IRONLESS ELECTRODYNAMIC-LOUDSPEAKER MOTOR, MOTORS AND LOUDSPEAKERS - A magnetic structure generating a magnetic field for an ironless motor of an electrodynamic loudspeaker having a mobile coil, wherein the magnetic structure generates a magnetic field in a gap in which the coil is arranged. The magnetic structure includes of a stack of three magnets corresponding to one intermediate magnet and two top and bottom covering magnets, the magnets forming a straight gap border and being located side by side, the intermediate magnet having a radial magnetic polarization, the covering magnets having identical magnetic polarizations and remanent magnetizations. The covering magnets have a radial or axial magnetic polarization. When magnetic polarization of the covering magnets is radial, remanent magnetization of each covering magnet is higher than remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet, and when magnetic polarization of the covering magnets is axial, remanent magnetization of each covering magnet is lower than remanent magnetization of the intermediate magnet. Motors are provided. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20090028375 | ELECTRODYNAMIC TRANSDUCER AND USE THEREOF IN LOUDSPEAKERS AND GEOPHONES - An electrodynamic transducer includes a frame and contains at least one electric coil which is placed in a static magnetic field and which can move about a rest position in a vertical free space. The coil(s) is wound around and fixed to at mandrel and a return member is used to return the coil-bearing mandrel to the rest position in the absence of an external bias, the straight cylinder defining an inner volume and an outer volume. The magnetic field is produced by outer and inner magnetic structures which each comprise at least one fixed permanent magnet in the form of a ring. The motor does not contain any ferromagnetic or magnetic part between the outer volume and the inner volume. At least the part of the frame that is used to fix the magnets is made from a non-ferromagnetic and non-magnetic material. | 01-29-2009 |
