  • Patent number: 10479071
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a decoration method, for applying a new décor (170) on a surface (2) of an object (1) including an existing décor (120), characterized in that the method comprises the following successive steps: a step a) for measuring at least two identification points (120a, 120b, 120f) of the existing décor (120) applied on the surface (2) of the object (1); a step b) for dynamic correction of localization points (170a, 170b, 170f) of the new décor (170) to be applied on the surface (2) of the object (1), using the identification points (120a, 120b, 120f) measured during the measuring step a); and a step c) for application of the new décor (170) on the surface (2) of the object (1), by using the localization points (170a, 170b, 170f) determined in the dynamic correction step b). The invention also relates to a control system and a decoration machine comprising such a control system.

  • Patent number: 8847555
    Abstract: A device for charging a battery including a rectifier input stage configured to be connected to a power supply network and an inverter output stage configured to be connected to the battery, and a mechanism regulating average current obtained from the input stage about a current value generated from the maximum current supplied by the power supply network and according to a coefficient that is at least equal to a ratio between the maximum voltage rectified by the input stage and the battery voltage.

  • Patent number: 8689946
    Abstract: A system for blocking an output shaft of the engine of an automobile, of a type that includes a toothed wheel coaxially mounted on the shaft, and a first finger mobile between a shaft releasing position and a shaft blocking position in which the first finger is engaged in a gap formed between two teeth of the wheel. The system includes an alignment mechanism capable of aligning a gap between two teeth of the wheel and the first mobile finger, and the first mobile finger is configured to be inserted into the gap without any substantial circumferential clearance.

  • Publication number: 20110100739
    Abstract: A control system for a hybrid propulsion group with power bypass for an automobile including at least two driving wheels. The system includes a thermal engine, a battery, a braking system for the driving wheels, a mechanism detecting a condition of the braking system, and an infinitely variable transmission including at least two electric machines and at least two epicyclic gear chains. The thermal engine is mechanically connected with the infinitely variable transmission via a first epicyclic gear chain, the infinitely variable transmission being mechanically connected to the driving wheels via a second epicyclic gear chain. The control system is capable of controlling the thermal engine and the two electric machines so that torque supplied by the thermal engine is converted into energy by the two electric machines used as generators for recharging the battery after receiving a signal from the mechanism detecting the condition of the braking system indicating the braking system is activated.
