  • Patent number: 10937419
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device with voice and/or gestural recognition for the interior lighting of a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of lighting modules (Mn) each capable of emitting at least one light beam in an interior of the vehicle. The device includes at least distinct means (Cn) for detecting a plurality of voice and/or gestural commands (Sn), executed by at least one occupant of the vehicle in specific zones (Zn) of the vehicle interior targeted by the detection means, the detection means (Cn) being capable of transmitting data representative of the commands (Sn) to at least processing and analysis means (ECU) configured to merge and prioritize the data and generate, after comparison with reference data, at least one instruction (An) to at least one interior lighting module (Mn).

  • Publication number: 20190232920
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle wiping unit (1) comprising: at least one motor (2) configured to drive at least one windscreen wiper (5, 6) in a to-and-fro movement over a motor vehicle glass surface (11), at least one reduction gear (3) arranged at the output of the motor (2), and a controller (4) configured to determine a command for the motor (C), characterized in that the controller (4) is configured to determine the command for the motor (C) by taking into account at least one variable parameter linked to the efficiency of the reduction gear (3) such as to counterbalance the variation in the efficiency of the reduction gear (3) by changing the electrical power to be provided to the motor (2). The present invention also relates to a method for commanding the rotational speed of a motor for driving at least one windscreen wiper in a to-and-fro movement over a motor vehicle glass surface.

  • Patent number: 10065560
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for lighting the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The device includes a variable light-emitting element adapted to generate selectively a light beam having at least one variable characteristic, and a device for measuring the ambient temperature in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A device for controlling the variable light-emitting element is configured to control the emission of the light beam and to vary the variable characteristic of the light-emitting element as a function of the ambient temperature measured by the device for measuring.

  • Patent number: 9973115
    Abstract: Method for detecting the position of a wiper arm (5) for a system (1) for wiping a vehicle window (3), comprising the steps consisting in: a) measuring or estimating (35) at least one parameter for determining the maintenance or service position, b) comparing (37) the measured or estimated value of said parameter with a reference value or a range of reference values, and c) determining, from the results of the comparison, whether the wiper arm is in maintenance or service position.
