  • Patent number: 11807431
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package comprising a crate having a bottom, the package further comprising retaining means comprising an elastically deformable skin for holding at least one object (O) against the bottom of the crate, characterized in that the elastically deformable skin has a central elastic area and a peripheral elastic area around the central elastic area, the central elastic area having a lower elasticity than the peripheral elastic area, and in that the elastically deformable skin also comprises at least one elastic tertiary area extending the central elastic area in the direction of an edge of the elastically deformable skin while being bordered by the peripheral elastic area, said elastic tertiary area having an elasticity lower than or equal to the elasticity of the central elastic area.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220107182
    Abstract: The invention relates to a localization method for a vehicle (1) moving in the vicinity of a wall (20a, 20b), with a localization frame of reference, defined at the point of projection of the vehicle (1) on the wall (20a, 20b), comprising a horizontal longitudinal axis (Y) tangent to the wall (20a, 20b) and a vertical axis (Z), a transverse axis (X) being defined such that the frame of reference is a direct orthonormal frame of reference. Moreover, the method comprises localization along the transverse axis (X) on the basis of measurements of a distance between the vehicle (1) and the wall (20a, 20b) provided by at least one transverse distance sensor (15a, 15b) of the vehicle (1), and localization along the longitudinal axis (Y) on the basis of measurements of a distance between the vehicle (1) and a fixed terminal (21) provided by at least one longitudinal distance sensor (16) of the vehicle (1).
