  • Publication number: 20230333838
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for updating software in a vehicle, comprising an executing memory (ME), a backup memory (MS) and a checking memory (MC), said method involving the steps of: issuing a request commanding the writing of at least one updated software block (B?, C?) into the checking memory (MC); issuing a request commanding the verification of the at least one updated software block (B?, C?) stored in the checking memory (MC); issuing a request commanding the copying of the plurality of blocks (A, B, C) from the executing memory (ME) to the backup memory (MS); issuing a request commanding the copying of the at least one updated software block (B?, C?) from the checking memory (MC) to the executing memory (ME); issuing a request commanding the verification of the integrity of the software blocks (A, B?, C?) in the executing memory (ME).

  • Patent number: 9731068
    Abstract: The invention concerns a connection device for connecting a first reservoir with a second reservoir, having a first section (11) for arranging the first reservoir (5) closed with a seal (51); a second section (12) for arranging the second reservoir; and a piercing element (2) which penetrates with a piercing end (21) the seal (51) of the first reservoir (5) when the first reservoir (5) is arranged at the first section (11). According to the invention, the piercing element (2) can be moved from a first position into a second position, wherein it blocks in the first position a flow connection between the first and the second section (11, 12), while in the second position it allows for a flow connection between the first and the second section (11, 12).

  • Patent number: 8070732
    Abstract: A holding device for locking the head of a syringe piston on a pusher has arms connected to respective pinions pivotable and translationally displaceable so that the corresponding arm is involved in the same motion between a rest position, in which the arms are closed and pressed against the pusher, and an open position, in which the arms are opened and remote therefrom, the translation is carried out prior to rotation during the movement toward the open position or in reverse order toward the rest position. The holding device also has a control member and means for converting a part of the control member movement by transmitting it to at least one pinion as a translation movement, which are translationally locked, and means for converting a part of the control member movement by transmitting it to at least one pinion as a rotation movement.
