Abstract
A means for detecting a break in mechanical equilibrium comprised of a measurement means that delivers a signal corresponding to a measurement of a torque applied to a fastener element, an electronic processing means for electronically processing a signal, and a computation processing means for computationally processing data output from the electronically processing of the signal. Application to a hand dynamometer tool.
