  • Patent number: 11059580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for supplying electrical power to a wired system for a drone (1). The device according to the invention includes at least one power converter (4) on the ground and one power converter (2) at the level of the drone (1), regulation at the level of the converter on the ground ensures that the output voltage of the power converter (4) on the ground increases when the output current of the power converter (4) on the ground increases. The method according to the invention is intended for all wired drones, the wire (3) of which is used to supply electrical power to the drone (1).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7859463
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of electromagnetic detection systems operating in bistatic mode, in particular to UHF/VHF bistatic radars. The method according to the invention consists in the simultaneous use of signals transmitted by one or more transmitting sources on separate frequency channels. The method includes a step of multichannel reception and separating channels. Additionally, the method includes a step of analysis of the signals received channel by channel, wherein the analysis is performed by correlation of the signals received with copies of the time and frequency shifted reference signals. The reference signals are constituted by the signals received from transmitting sources by direct transmission with a step of integration of the signals analysed, channel by channel, and a step of detection.

  • Patent number: 6338697
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine provided on a vehicle and cooperating with the throttle hand lever and an accelerator pedal, whereby the amount of fuel is predetermined. The amount of fuel is predetermined by respective positions of the accelerator pedal and throttle hand lever and is corrected on the basis of a position of the vehicle brake pedal.

  • Patent number: 5493083
    Abstract: A rotary control device for a circuit breaker having a front plate having an opening through which a crank pin extends, the crank pin being pivotal between first and second positions, the rotary control device including a housing and a rotary handle mounted on the housing, the rotary handle being rotatable between first and second positions corresponding to the first and second positions of the crank pin. A coupling mechanism is provided for mechanically coupling the rotary handle to the crank pin when the housing is mounted on the front plate of the circuit breaker, the connecting device preventing mounting of the rotary control device on the circuit breaker when the rotary handle and the crank pin are not in the same position, that is, are not both in the first position or both in the second position. The first and second positions may correspond to open and closed positions of the circuit breaker, for example.
