Abstract: An adaptive screen including at least one liquid crystal shutter. At least one of the shutters includes at least two active zones which are addressed by a control signal which permits the switchover of the at least one corresponding shutter between a passing configuration, in which a transmittance is equal to a maximum value, and a blocking configuration, in which the transmittance is equal to a minimum value.

Abstract: A method and tail light for controlling optical modules of the tail light, comprising the steps of activating one or more optical modules to generate a first signaling function, if the vehicle has reverse gear engaged, activating, according to a first mode of operation, one or more other optical modules to generate a second signaling function, if the vehicle does not have reverse gear engaged, activating the or at least one of the other optical modules to generate a complementary beam of light distinct from the beam of light that it emits in the first mode of operation and that supplements the first signaling function. The invention also relates to a tail light, notably for implementing this method.

Abstract: A hydrokinetic torque coupling device features a casing comprising a casing shell and an impeller shell, an impeller, a turbine-piston, a damper assembly comprising a drive member non-moveably connected to the turbine-piston and a driven member elastically coupled to the drive member, and a clutch member comprising a clutch plate and a connecting member extending through the damper assembly and non-moveably interconnecting the clutch plate with the turbine-piston. The clutch plate has an axially outer surface facing an engagement surface of the casing. The turbine-piston is axially displaceable relative to the casing to move the clutch member axially toward and away from the engagement surface of the casing for positioning the hydrokinetic torque coupling device into and out of a lockup mode in which the clutch member and the casing frictionally interlock with one another so that the casing is non-rotatable relative to the turbine-piston.
