  • Publication number: 20240369358
    Abstract: A watch (2) including a memory (4) and a detection device (6), which device includes an acceleration sensor (8) for measuring an acceleration vector of the watch in a three-dimensional coordinate frame linked to the watch, and an electronic unit (12) that processes measurements supplied by the acceleration sensor. The electronic unit (12) detects, in association with the memory, at least for a rocket of a given type, crossing of the Kármán line by the rocket, solely by means of the watch on board the rocket. Crossing of the Kármán line by the watch is detected by detection device based on periodic measurements carried out by the acceleration sensor from rocket take-off until the crossing of the Kármán line, as defined before the space flight, and based on a corresponding reference value stored in the memory. The Kármán line is defined by a given altitude or a selectable altitude.

  • Patent number: 9120395
    Abstract: A method is described for the automatic management of the energy autonomy of a vehicle, and includes receiving a signal for indicating a distance and/or a path to cover, and dividing the distance and/or the path into space intervals; calculating an allowable variation of energy capacity in a space interval based on energy capacity detected by the sensors and on variation laws of the energy capacity; determining limit conditions for the speed and/or acceleration of the vehicle, on the basis of a map, chosen among a plurality of maps of speed-acceleration-variation of energy capacity; generating a regulated instantaneous torque request on the basis of the speed and/or acceleration detected by the plurality of sensors, of the determined limit conditions for the speed and/or acceleration and of the instantaneous torque request generated by the first central control unit. An electronic system capable of implementing such a method is described.
