  • Patent number: 9649951
    Abstract: An automotive vehicle drive unit, comprising a fuel cell whose control input is a setpoint of the electrical power to be delivered by the fuel cell. There is a reversible electrical energy storage system and an electric motor to propel the wheels of a vehicle. An electrical connection element selectively connects the fuel cell and/or the energy storage system to the electric motor. A control circuit stores a model of the consumption of dihydrogen as a function of the power delivered by this fuel cell, in the form of a second-degree polynomial and is configured to compute a coefficient of power distribution ?1 between the fuel cell and the electrical energy storage system pursuant to a defined equation. The control circuit controls the electrical connection element to recharge the energy storage system when the value of the power setpoint Pfc* is greater than the power demanded by the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20150069850
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electronic system including a radiative electromagnetic emitter for emitting an activation signal including sequentially an energy supply signal followed by an identification signal, the power of the energy supply signal being at least ten times greater than the power of the identification signal, further including an interface connected to an energy supply source; an electric load; a circuit for deactivating a placing of electric load on standby, including: a receiver including a reception interface, a rectifier configured to generate a DC activation voltage on the basis of an activation signal, a switch configured to selectively connect/disconnect to the load from the energy supply, an identification circuit configured to extract an identifier of the activation signal and configured to apply the activation voltage as closure control signal for turning off the switch if a match of the identifier is determined.
