  • Patent number: 11928958
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for users localization and guidance of the movements of the users through a building adapted in relation to an event, along paths leading to one or more given target places, with connected objects (T, T?) in communication link with a remote resource server which is a control server (S) accessible by a communication network, comprising the following steps: on the basis of a digital model of the building (BIM, CIM), nodes (N) and edges (A) are computed; a user waiting list is assigned to each passage node; a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of movement toward the target places (“E”, “S”, “W”) is automatically computed with the nodes and the edges (A); the actual location of an event is detected; the actual position of each user located in the building is computed; as a function of the profile of the user, of the user's location in real time in the building causing the inaccessibility of certain nodes of the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), the so-called ‘updated’ Directed Acyclic Gra

  • Publication number: 20240051125
    Abstract: A system includes: a hand module to, based on a demonstration of a human hand grasping an object, determine first and second vectors that are normal to and parallel to a palm of the human hand, respectively, and a position of the human hand; a gripper module to determine third and fourth vectors that are normal to and parallel to a palm of a gripper of a robot, respectively, and a present position of the gripper; and an actuation module to: move the gripper when open such that the present position of the gripper is at the position of the human hand, the third and first vectors are aligned, and the fourth and second vectors are aligned; close fingers of the gripper based on minimizing a first loss; and actuate the fingers of the gripper to minimize a second loss determined based on the first loss and a third loss.

  • Publication number: 20210153440
    Abstract: A three-dimensional structure is obtained from a tubular preform, which is obtained from a net of the Chebyshev type having a flared shape maintained by hoops, spacers, or cables. A method for installing such a structure, in which method the tubular preform is brought to the installation point, then deformations are applied to the preform that allow the final desired flared shape to be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20200374975
    Abstract: The method concerns a method of communication between end-user terminals and user terminals that are static or have low relative mobility with respect to each other, wherein a control server: —selects the terminals that are static or have low relative mobility from among the assembly of terminals, the other terminals being referred to as end terminals; —determines a graph, the nodes of which are static or low relative mobility terminals, —determines, on this graph of nodes, a sub-graph of dominant nodes; —selects, in the sub-graph of dominant nodes, at least one gateway node capable of establishing a communication with the Cloud Computing type network over their second cellular communication link; —selects the nodes of the graph which do not belong to the nodes of the sub-graph, as nodes having only the access/relay function to the dynamic multi-hop proximity network for the end-user terminals; —transmits its hierarchy status over the second cellular communication link, only individually to each of the variou

  • Patent number: 8873341
    Abstract: A cMUT-type capacitive electroacoustic transducer including: at least one membrane configured to oscillate under effect of an electric field and/or an acoustic wave, wherein the membrane is formed from one or more layers of juxtaposed nanotubes or nanowires or nanorods, and an acoustic imaging device or UHF sonar including such transducers.
