PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine an air-fuel ratio in an internal-combustion engine from the composition of exhaust fumes or, in particular, from the partial pressure of oxygen remaining in the exhaust fumes. SOLUTION: The invention concerns a device including: a sensor capable of supplying a representative voltage representative of the ratio between a reference oxygen pressure and the pressure of oxygen in the volume of the sensor, which is provided with electrodes (12, 14) capable of passing therethrough a pumping current controlling the pressure of oxygen in the volume; and controlling/commanding means including a digital controller (26) suitable to receiving the representative voltage on an input and supplying the pumping current. The controlling/commanding means supplies the pumping current in the form of a continuous, gradual and non-chopped current, and is controlled by the digital controller so as to automatically set the input voltage at a predetermined value.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an achieve superior efficiency under low load and large torque, at high speed and at the same time. SOLUTION: An electronically-communicated type motor includes a stator-rotor assembly, the stator-rotor assembly having a coil including a three-phase winding; and an electronic control module having an input connected to a rotor position sensor (18) and a speed reference signal (Vc), and including a power supply circuit for powering a phase under control of a processor (28). The processor is designed for powering the phase at variable duty ratio so as to regulate the speed in a first mode without overlap in time while the phases are powered with current pulses and in a second mode, in which an output supplied to two coils overlaps by only 33%, for producing a changeover from the first mode to the second mode, when the ratio reaches a predetermined value in a range from 70 to 100%, and for producing a changeover from the second mode to the first mode, when the ratio falls below another predetermined value.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To specify a wheel in a tire pressure monitoring system by use of a method capable of shortening the transmission time of a sensor. SOLUTION: The system for monitoring pressures of tires of a motor vehicle with location of the wheels comprises a monitoring element and a pressure sensor. Each pressure sensor is associated with a transmitter with which it transmits to the monitoring element a radio signal including sensor identification data. This system comprises a means for determining the phase shift between two radio signals transmitted at two distinct times for every wheel. The system further comprises a means for determining the rotation angle, modulo 2π, traveled by each of the wheels between the two times. This system further comprises a means for comparison between the phase shift and the rotation angles. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
