    Abstract: A non-acoustic alarm for a portable object includes an electromagnetic motor which can be electrically controlled in order to generate a vibratory effect. The electromagnetic motor includes a movable magnetic circuit and a stationary magnetic circuit. The movable magnetic circuit includes a coil, a ferromagnetic core coupled to a magnetic cage forming an extension of the ferromagnetic core. The magnetic assembly of the movable magnetic circuit constitutes a movable magnetic mass of the non-acoustic alarm capable of generating the vibratory effect. The non-acoustic alarm includes resilient connection elements resiliently connecting the movable magnetic circuit to the stationary magnetic circuit. The resilient connection elements are shaped to guide and ensure that the movable magnetic circuit undergoes a linear, or quasi-linear, oscillatory motion during the electrical control of the electromagnetic motor.

    Abstract: A control device (2) for controlling power supply to a continuous-rotation motor, of the horological, DC type, is arranged to generate electrical pulses with a lower supply voltage to drive the rotor. The number of pulses per time interval is a function of the load applied to the motor. A voltage divider is arranged to supply the lower supply voltage with a plurality of different values and thus the electrical pulses with a variable voltage. A logic circuit counts the numbers of electrical pulses in successive time periods; to periodically select a voltage value, from among a plurality of different values, as a function of a counted number of electrical pulses or of a succession of counted numbers of electrical pulses; and to control the voltage divider so that the latter supplies the lower supply voltage with the selected voltage value after the selection of this voltage value.
