  • Publication number: 20160182641
    Abstract: A system including: a centralization unit; and a plurality of detection and/or measurement devices, each device including a radio module capable of communicating with the centralization unit, and a sensor different from the radio module, capable of measuring a physical quantity representative of a variation of the environment of the device, wherein each device is capable of adjusting at least one configuration parameter of its radio module by taking into account a measurement performed by its sensor.

  • Publication number: 20160161251
    Abstract: A method for characterizing k mechanical parameters of a pavement formed by a stack in a direction Z of N layers, including: a) applying a load to the pavement to deform the pavement; b) in response, measuring deformation of the pavement at various points with displacement sensors situated at each of the points; c) determining the k parameters on the basis of the measurements of the various sensors. The measuring b) is carried out by at least k sensors buried inside the pavement and distributed in at least two non-parallel directions X and Y perpendicular to the direction Z, and the c) determining of the k parameters is obtained on the basis of known boundary conditions on lateral edges of the pavement.

  • Patent number: 9092982
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring speed of movement of an object deforming lines of Earth's magnetic field includes a first and second magnetometer disposed on either side of a traffic roadway for the object and substantially perpendicular to the object. The magnetometers are configured for measuring deformation of Earth's magnetic field by the object travelling over the roadway. The apparatus also includes a processing unit configured for extracting, from each of the magnetometers, a measurement value corresponding to a quotient defined by a distance of the object with respect to the magnetometer divided by a speed of movement of the object, and for calculating a speed of the object from the measurement values and a geometrical disposition of the magnetometers with respect to one another and with respect to the traffic roadway.

  • Patent number: 6991013
    Abstract: A tire equipped with at least one receiving antenna (2) of a reception device (1) which includes an electronic device (10) intended to be remote controlled by electromagnetic coupling with at least one transmitting antenna (8). This receiving antenna (2) is intended to be connected to the electronic device (10) and is divided into several loop parts (2.1, 2.2) arranged in a parallel circuit, these loop parts (2.1, 2.2) each having a surface (s1, s2), these surfaces (s1, s2) being juxtaposed so that during rolling of the tire the loop parts (2.1, 2.2) are coupled successively and continuously to the transmitting antenna (8).

  • Publication number: 20030184493
    Abstract: A reception antenna (2) in a reception device (1) including an object (10) designed to be remote controlled by electromagnetic coupling with at least one emission antenna (8). This reception antenna (2) is designed to be connected to the object (10) and is separated into several looped parts (2.1, 2.2) arranged in parallel, these looped parts (2.1, 2.2) each having an area (s1, s2), these areas (s1, s2) being globally placed adjacent to each other such that the looped parts (2.1, 2.2) are coupled successively and continuously to the emission antenna (8).
