  • Patent number: 6405118
    Abstract: This system for characterizing a computer to control a wheel anti-lock device, incorporated in an onboard electronic system (1;) for a motor vehicle, using a remote coding device (6), the computer (2) comprising a data processing unit (4) associated with means (5) for storing said computer's operating data, is characterized in that a single logic device for controlling the wheel anti-lock device is loaded into the unit (4), in that the data storage means (5) include several sets of characteristic parameters (V1, V2, Vn) selectable for different vehicles, and in that the remote coding device (6) comprises means (7, 8) for recognizing the vehicle and means (7, 8) for characterizing the computer by associating with the logic device loaded in the unit, the set of parameters corresponding to the recognized vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6059687
    Abstract: An automotive vehicle incorporating a transmission equipped with an actuating logic performing the "shift-lock" and "key-lock" functions. The actuator (2) releasing the lever (1) from position P is actuated during a predetermined interval when the brake is applied and the key is in the post-ignition position and, upon expiration of this interval and following reapplication of pressure to the brake pedal (4) after a brief release of the brake pedal (4), the actuator (2) is instantaneously actuated. Similarly, the actuator (10) allowing removal of the key is actuated during a predetermined interval when the shift lever is in the position P. Upon expiration of this interval and following a return of the key to the "accessories" position following a brief movement of the key to the post-ignition position, the actuator is instantaneously actuated.
