A system for the production of electrical energy, comprising: a combustion chamber () made of material that is able to withstand high temperatures, an injection device () connected to said combustion chamber () by means of an injection conduit (), means () for supplying combustion support substance into the combustion chamber () and means () for the removal of gaseous combustion products, means () for the selective emission of radiation onto the outer surface of the combustion chamber (). The combustion chamber () is enclosed in a conversion chamber () within which are maintained sub-atmospheric pressure conditions, so that a substantial part of the heat developed by the combustion reaction is converted into electromagnetic radiation.

Micro-combustor system for the production of electrical energy

The invention describes a system with a multifunctional integrated visual sensor using a CMOS or CCD technology matrix having a sensitive area divided into sub-areas dedicated to a series of specific functions.

Multifunctional integrated visual system with CMOS or CCD technology matrix

An aircraft which is attachable to, for example, a cellular phone. The aircraft is provided with at least four rotors actuated with compressed fluid or by ring-shaped electric motors.

A method is described for producing a light source comprising a matrix of micro-filaments able to emit light by incandescence when powered by an electrical current. According to the invention, on the matrix electrical and/or mechanical connections are obtained by means of an agglomeration of carbon nanotubes at least partially ordered with respect to each other. The matrix can be formed extending a single uninterrupted wire, some segments whereof mutually cross.

Method for producing an incandescent light source and light source obtained according to such method

Described herein is a microgenerator of electrical energy with a high power density, which uses an internal-combustion micromotor with two combustion chambers set opposite to one another, within which a piston is displaced with reciprocating motion. The piston is at least in part made of magnetic material and is wound with a coil, within which is generated an electric current by induction. The fuel, the oxidant, and preferably a catalyst, are injected into each of the two combustion chambers by means of injectors that are substantially of the same type as those used in ink-jet printer heads. The dimensions of the device are comparable to those of a 1.5-V NiCd battery of a traditional standard type.

Microgenerator of electrical energy

A light source composed of a planar, or substantially level, flat or curved, rigid or flexible, matrix of microfilaments integrated on a single substrate and capable of emitting light by incandescence when supplied by an electric current.

A shape memory actuator includes a shape memory actuator element for biasing an actuated member from an initial rest position to an operative position against the action of return spring means. Holding means are associated with the actuator element for holding the actuated member in its operative position even when the shape memory actuator element is deactivated. These holding means can be deactivated with a subsequent activation of the shape memory actuator element, allowing the actuated member to return to its rest position.

Shape memory actuator with bi-stable operation

A vehicle headlamp having two glass panes carrying an array of micro-lenses that can be moved relative to each other both along the optical axis of the headlamp and along a direction orthogonal to the optical axis. These movements are controlled via a number of shape memory actuators.
