Abstract:
A watch includes a control member capable of managing a primary function of the watch, such as a rotating crown or a push-piece, as well as a magnetic ball that can be manually pivoted by the user about the centre thereof. A 3D magnetic sensor is arranged in the watch to detect the orientation of the magnetic field emitted by the magnetic ball, in addition to a processor for converting an electric signal generated by the magnetic sensor into an instruction for managing one or more other electronic functions of the watch. The magnetic ball is partially arranged inside the control member such that it is accessible to a user. The watch can further comprise a proximity sensor for detecting the axial position of the control member relative to the middle of the watch.
Abstract:
A watch includes a control member, for example a crown or a head of a push-piece, which is mounted in a resilient manner on the outer end of an elongated element projecting outside the middle, such that a user can tilt in a self-reverting manner the control member in two dimensions orthogonal and perpendicular to the central axis of the elongated element. At least one proximity sensor is incorporated into the middle of the watch, in a location allowing this proximity sensor to produce an electric signal that represents the tilting of the control member about an axis that is perpendicular to the central axis. A processor generates at least one instruction on the basis of the electric signal provided by at least one proximity sensor, for example to allow the user to browse a menu or a calendar displayed on a digital screen.

Abstract:
Watch band comprising lower and upper half band portions connected at a fold portion to surround a watch lug at the fold portion, each comprising a drilled hole for the passage of a double rivet comprising lower and upper bodies, either inserted one inside the other or each inserted into a common tube, the band including, at each double rivet, a snap means for ensuring a reversible axial stop for the lower body with respect to the upper body, comprising either a holding plate aligning lower and upper grooves of the lower and upper bodies, or two lower and upper clip lips of the common tube each clip fitted onto a complementary lower or upper lip of the lower or upper body.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a safety valve including: a tube intended to be fixed to a watch case, a hollow head mounted for rotation about the tube, a first element fixedly mounted with respect to the head and a second element integral with the head, wherein the first element and the second element each include one or more passages allowing gas to flow, the rotational motion of the head allowing the passages of the first element and of the second element to be placed in communication for gas to escape from the interior to the exterior of the case in case of overpressure inside the case or, conversely, allowing the passages of the first element and of the second element to be moved out of alignment to prevent gas escaping.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a battery comprising a casing provided with a cup and a closure part for said cup, the method comprising the successive steps consisting in: providing at least three parts with a first part defining one pole, and a second part and a third part defining the other pole and intended to form together the cup, the first and second parts respectively comprising a first surface and a second surface (6a) of matching shape, at least one adhesive portion of each of said surfaces extending in a geometric surface non-parallel to the general axis of the battery; bonding the aforementioned first and second surfaces to provide a structure with an adhesive joint between the first and second parts; welding the third part to the second part; the adhesive joint being arranged against an inner face of the cup, the aforementioned adhesive portion of the second part forming a stop, along the general axis, for the first part, which is located inside the cup.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for mounting at least one decorative element (3) on a support (2) comprising the steps of: a. taking a support (2) provided with at least one cavity (4); b. taking at least one decorative element (3); c. filling said cavity with a composite filler material comprising at least one metal powder and at least one organic binder and having, at the moment of filling, a viscosity comprised between 1,000 mPa·s and 1,000,000 mPa·s; d. heating the composite filler material to a higher temperature than its melting point to make it liquid; e. allowing the filler material to cool to form a substrate (6); f. making at least one housing (8) in said substrate (6); g. mounting said decorative element (3) in said housing (8). The present invention also concerns a decorative support (2) provided with at least one cavity (4) filled with said filler material forming a substrate (6) in which at least one housing (8) is formed, said housing (8) being arranged to receive said decorative element (3).
Abstract:
A method for single or multiply charged ion implantation into a surface of a treated object, and a device for implementing the implantation method, the method including: directing towards the surface of the treated object an ion beam produced by an ion source of the electronic cyclotron resonance type; producing at least one primary electron beam and directing the primary electron beam so that it passes through the ion beam; and producing a secondary electron beam by reflecting the primary electron beam onto a target once the primary electron beam has traversed the ion beam, the target being oriented such that the secondary electron beam falls onto the surface of the treated object.
Abstract:
A portable object including a near-field communication device. The communication device includes an antenna, the ends of which are configured to be connected electrically to an electronic chip, forming, together with the chip, an electrical circuit. In an original manner, the portable object includes a control element which is able to be displaced between two predefined positions, i.e. an active position wherein the communication device is activated and a passive position wherein the communication device is deactivated. The portable object includes, furthermore, a mechanical switch which is able to switch between an open state and a closed state in response to a displacement of the control element from one to the other of its predefined positions.
