Abstract: A method of determining at least one parameter of an ophthalmic lens (40) including a complementary optical element (12) obtained by additive manufacturing and configured to provide at least a part of the optical function of the ophthalmic lens, the determining method including a step of providing two characterizing surfaces simulating two opposite surfaces of a complementary optical element (12), the distance between the two characterizing surfaces along a thickness axis (Z) defining the thickness of the complementary optical element; a step of optimizing the distance between the two characterizing surfaces (20) along the thickness axis (Z) so that the thickness of the complementary optical element reaches a thickness threshold while complying with the optical function of the ophthalmic lens (40); and a step of determining at least one parameter of the ophthalmic lens (40) on the basis of the optimized distance.

Abstract: A control system is for a motor vehicle to be driven according to a manual mode or according to various levels of driving automation by an automated driving module. The control system includes a driving assistance device and a steering control member. The steering control member includes at least one indicator light and the driving assistance device changes the status of the at least one indicator light when the driving assistance device determines an available level of driving automation, detects an active level of driving automation, determines as a function of the road configuration that the motor vehicle should be driven by the driver, and detects a switch between a level of driving automation and the manual mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a marketing budget allocation service associated with an optimization and simulation engine in a data analytics system. The marketing budget allocation service is a marketing expenditure optimization service that provides marketing budget allocation intelligence and visualizations based on data analysis and business information (e.g., prior hypothesis input data or scenario input data). The marketing budget allocation service is based on a service pipeline that includes a set of allocation intelligence data processors and operations that are used to generate output that is managed (e.g., visualized, presented, and revised) using a data analytics user interface. In operation, based on analyzing marketing budget allocation data—via an allocation service analytics computation model, marketing budget allocation results data are generated.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member. The first conductive member includes a first channel portion extending from a first wedge portion, with the first channel portion configured to receive a first conductor therein. The first conductive member includes a jaw movably coupled to the first channel portion and being positioned between the first channel portion and the first wedge portion. The second conductive member includes a second channel portion extending from a second wedge portion where the second channel portion configured to receive a second conductor. The first wedge portion and the second wedge portion are assembled such that the second wedge portion engages the jaw and moves the jaw to the closed position. The jaw engages the first conductor in the closed position. Optionally, the first channel portion may have a contoured shape.

Abstract: A Graphical User Interface or “GUI” for use with a computer operating systems that operates dynamically according to the user's preferences. Each element of the GUI is surrounded by a dynamic edge which allows the user to combine two or more elements together to create a visually coherent unit in real time. Users can merge or fuse together two or more edges together thus creating a combined group that has aspects and qualities from the constituent elements. Particular colors and color combinations can be created by the user along with user selected shapes and sizes of individual elements selected from a library of element shapes and sizes. The grouped elements can then be separated back to the individual elements for use in different applications or other groupings as later desired by the user.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the operation of an aircraft, especially a helicopter, includes data acquisition and processing components and display components which are able to display at least one indicator for at least one parameter relating to the operation of the aircraft. The system furthermore includes selection components which allow an operator to select at least one option for a specific configuration of the system, and components able to automatically configure, during the selection of at least one option, at least the data acquisition, processing and display components so as to adapt them to the selected option.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device (1) for assistance with the maintenance of an aircraft, especially of a helicopter, intended for replaying maintenance information. According to the invention, data relating to the operation of the said aircraft are recorded, with a view to their being replayed in the form of maintenance information, these data being accessible to a monitoring and visual display system (2) of the said aircraft, and only data capable of being visually displayed by the said monitoring and visual display system (2) are recorded with a view to presenting them to at least one pilot of the said aircraft.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detection device comprising means (3) able to measure the value of a parameter, said device (1) being able to deliver values lying within a first measurement range which is limited at least by a first limit value. According to the invention, this device (1) furthermore comprises means (5) for modifying before delivery thereof any measured value so as to deliver a corresponding value which is defined in a second measurement range, said second measurement range being limited by at least a first limitation value which is different from said first limit value and which forms part of said first measurement range.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the operation of an aircraft, especially a helicopter, which automatically provides information which relates to the operation of the aircraft. Data acquisition and processing units centralize data relating to the aircraft together and group them in information pages. At least one information page contains a flight report of at least the latest flight of the aircraft, which simultaneously provides a flight number, flight duration, number of cycles of the engines, number of cycles of the turbine, and any appropriate message regarding detected faults and/or whether any of the aircraft's limitations have been exceeded. A display unit displays the information within the view of at least one pilot of the aircraft. At the end of a flight, a selection unit automatically selects a flight report which is automatically displayed by the display.

Abstract: A flight indicator for an aircraft, intended to give the power margin available on at least one engine of the aircraft as a function of the flight conditions. The indicator includes sensors (2, 3, 4) capable of delivering data relating to various monitored parameters of the engine, device (5) for processing the data coming from the sensors (2, 3, 4), and display device (6) showing, on a display screen (7) the processed data relating to that parameter among the monitored engine parameters, whose current value is closest to the limiting value for such parameter, each limiting value being established taking the ambient pressure (P0) and ambient temperature (T0) into account, in real time.
