A hydraulic emergency solenoid valve (3) arranged on the supplementary control line (SL), interposed between the hydraulic control valve (4) and said at least one trailer brake, and connectable to the reservoir (T) in such a way that when activated, the pressure in the supplementary control line (SL) is reduced, activating said at least one trailer brake in an emergency braking.

A control system (300) for a coupler (302) of a first vehicle is described. The coupler (302) comprises a valve means (304) arranged to be coupled to an opening (306) of a pneumatic pipe (308) of the first vehicle. The valve means (304) is arranged to assume an open condition or a closed condition. The transition between the open condition and the closed condition occurs as a function of the transition of the coupler (302) of the first vehicle between a coupled state and a decoupled state. The control system (300) comprises:- a first electronic processing means (310) arranged to determine whether the first vehicle is in a service condition and to generate an unlocking signal (312) when the first vehicle is in the service condition;- an unlocking means (314) arranged for:• receiving the unlocking signal (312); and• when it receives the unlocking signal (312), making the transition of the valve means (306) between the open condition and the closed condition independent from the transition of the coupler (302) between the coupled state and the decoupled state.

A disconnector for interrupting an electrical circuit comprises a main conductor and a secondary conductor, a conductive blade rotating between a closed-circuit position and an open-circuit position, an insulating casing containing a vacuum ampoule with a fixed electrode and a movable electrode, and a lever system comprising a driven lever and a driving lever for actuating the movable electrode. An auxiliary electrode is provided on the driving lever. The disconnector operates such that, during circuit opening, the conductive blade interacts with the auxiliary electrode, activating the lever system. This movement opens the contact inside the vacuum ampoule, interrupting the current flow.

It forms the subject of the present invention to provide a formulation in the form of a prolonged-release tablet, namely a bilayer tablet, containing melatonin and other active ingredients. In particular, the present invention relates to a formulation in multilayer tablet form comprising: - a first layer containing a mixture of gastro-resistant microparticles of melatonin and gastro-resistant microparticles of L-tryptophan, - a second layer containing a mixture of melatonin and a butyrate salt.

A wheel assembly (10) for a motorcycle is described, comprising a wheel rim (15) on which a tire (16) is mounted, the wheel rim being mounted on a hub (14). The hub is rotatably mounted on a fixed, non-rotating wheel pin (20), defining a rotation axis of the wheel rim. A hubcap (30) is arranged in correspondence with the wheel pin and mounted integrally with the wheel pin, such that when said wheel assembly rotates about the wheel pin, the hubcap does not rotate, and in which the hubcap is contained within a volume defined by the wheel rim and tire assembly.

The present invention relates to a device for automatically introducing a reinforcing sheet into a coreless coil applicable to a winding machine of the coreless type, and to the winding machine comprising such a device. In particular, the invention relates to a device (3) for introducing a reinforcing paper sheet (51) into a coreless roll (50) being wound with a continuous strip material (S) by means of a winding machine of the coreless type, comprising: - a feeding tray (31) for paper sheets (51), - a feeder (32) of the paper sheets (51) taken from the feeding tray (31), - an introduction member (33) of a paper sheet (51) loaded into a roll (50) being wound in said winding machine.

The present invention relates to a filling system for non-homogeneous products or for products having solid or semi-solid elements of variable size and compactness in suspension. In particular, the invention concerns a filling system (1) for filling machines for non-homogeneous products, comprising a distribution manifold (2) for a non-homogeneous product, on which a plurality of dispensing taps (3) is mounted, said distribution manifold (2) being supported on a rotating shaft (4) above a discoidal plate (5), also supported on said rotating shaft (4) and peripherally comprising a plurality of support elements (6) for containers (C) to be filled with said non-homogeneous product, wherein each of the dispensing taps (3) is placed above a support element (6) for a container (C) comprising a tray (8) operatively connected to a load cell (10) adapted to measure, in real time, the weight of the container (C) at every filling step, each of said dispensing taps (3) comprising a movable member (3b), characterized in that said movable member (3b) is actuated by an independent actuator (18) adapted to operate at a variable operating speed over time.
