A slide-valve device sliding in a predetermined axial direction, includes a valve body having two chambers, the first chamber including a lateral fluid-intake opening and a fluid-outlet opening provided with a normally closed, conditionally opening plug device, the second chamber including first and second lateral fluid-outlet openings, mutually offset in the axial direction. Two inner regions of the second chamber are arranged contiguously in the axial direction and communicate with one another via an opening or an internal passage, and in that the sliding drawer includes a first plug member suitable for selectively plugging the communication opening or the internal communication passage or opening between the two regions and a second plugging member suitable for preventing fluid communication between the second lateral fluid-outlet opening of the second chamber and a first region of the second chamber, within a predetermined range of translation of the sliding drawer.

Valve device with a drawer and circuit comprising such a valve

A temperature sensing system () for use with a variable reluctance sensor such as found in vehicle wheel bearing applications, which utilizes existing sensors () such as the antilock braking system or traction control system sensors as a direct current resistive temperature gauge. The temperature sensing system () includes electrical components (R, C) configured to separate the DC voltage (VDC(t)) representative of sensor temperature from the original magnetically induced AC voltage output signal (VSN(t)) representative of the rotation such as vehicle wheel speed, thereby permitting the temperature sensing system () to be retrofitted and installed in vehicles or other components without significant alteration to an existing wiring harness or electrical components.
