I can't seem to find anything that isn't about the cheese. ;)

Q de B is a quarter of a circle. The Brie obviously being round. Brie is often used in engineering for a whole host of items. Just to confuse you a little, I have today carried out quality control on what are called "pancakes"! I leave you to imagine what they are.

A "pignon d'avance" could be a feed gear (like on a lathe, or a film projector), or possibly a pinion driving a rack.
It could be that your authors are talking about the correct position of a pinion that is geared to a gear that is not a whole wheel, but only a sector of it (hence pie-shaped, or cheese-slice-shaped if you're French). Presumably "syncronisation" is required because there is some way of disengaging the pinion from the pie-shaped gear (which is only free to turn over a limited angle, and therefore is a sort of rocker). Does tha tmake sense? A drawing would explain all of that much more elegantly.

Also, it just struck me that it could be that there is a rack with a pie-shaped pinion on it. Perhaps for linear positioning over an extremely limited range of movement? I'm not a mechanical engineer so I'm guessing.
