  • Apparatus for use in a can system
    Patent number: 11606341
    Abstract: A CAN device is provided with an encryption function and a decryption function. The encryption function allows messages to be encrypted and put onto a CAN bus. The decryption function allows the messages on the CAN bus to be decrypted. The encryption and decryption functions share keys which change over the course of time.
    Type: Grant

  • Electric motorcycle with wheel anti-lock system
    Patent number: 10351003
    Abstract: The electric motorcycle (M) comprises a support frame, a rear wheel (RW), a front wheel (FW), an electric propulsion motor (E), an electronic control unit (2) for driving the electric motor (E) and a wheel anti-lock system (1) operatively connected to the control unit (2), the system (1) having detection means (18) of a slippage condition (SLP) of at least one of the wheels (RW, FW) and limiting means (19) operatively connected to the detecting means (18), able to receive at input at least a maximum regeneration torque value (RTMAX) of the electric motor (E) of the electric motorcycle (M) and able to limit the maximum regeneration torque (RTMAX) in case of detection of the slippage condition (SLP), wherein the system (1) comprises verification means (20) of the friction conditions of the wheels (RW, FW) on the road surface, in order to verify the presence or not of a high friction condition (HIGH_MU) or a low friction condition (LOW_MU), wherein the limiting means (19) are operatively connected to the verific
