  • Patent number: 9677896
    Abstract: A fuel saving-aimed motor vehicle driver assistance system configured to receive and process motor vehicle-related data and motor vehicle position-related data to identify recurrent routes of a motor vehicle and to provide a motor vehicle driver, via an automotive human-machine interface, with motor vehicle driving assistance recommendations for fuel saving along the routes. The motor vehicle driver assistance system is configured to identify recurrent routes of the motor vehicle by determining a succession of geographic points, referred to as Waypoints, along a route of the motor vehicle, at which values of a series of physical quantities are determined and recorded, which define the attributes of the Waypoints. The Waypoint attributes are then updated when the vehicle travels through them.

  • Patent number: 8502661
    Abstract: A container tracking system comprising a mobile unit configured to be coupled to a container to be tracked and to communicate with a remote control unit through of a communication system. The mobile unit comprising a positioning module, an alarm module adapted to detect alarm conditions related to said container, and a communication module generating a tracking signal containing positioning data of the mobile unit and/or alarm information associated with one or more alarm conditions related to the container. Furthermore, the mobile unit is configured to evolve to a temporary deactivation state whenever a communication unavailability condition of the tracking signal through the communication system occurs.

  • Publication number: 20050110843
    Abstract: A gravity ink feed system for ink-jet printers comprises a reservoir chamber, a feed chamber, connected to printing heads, and a duct provided with an opening to the atmosphere, with a first port for connection to the feed chamber and with a second port for connection to the reservoir chamber. The feed system is rotatable from a first configuration suitable for normal feeding of the ink, to a rotated configuration suitable for topping up the ink. Support means for said feed systems are suitable for producing a modular support structure, suitable for supporting one or more feed systems, for example each relating to an ink of a different colour.
