Abstract: An example method and system for display of out-of-window status indicators in a virtual shelf of a diagram window. A diagram framework displays a first portion of a diagram within a diagram window of a display device. The diagram comprises a set of shapes and a set of connectors representing a corresponding set of relationships between a set of objects. The framework detects that a first shape of the set of shapes at a first position of the first shape and a first status indicator associated with the first shape at a first position of the first status indicator are at least partially outside a first visible portion of the diagram within the diagram window. The diagram framework determines a second position of the first status indicator within the diagram window. The first status indicator at the second position of the first status indicator is displayed within the diagram window.

Abstract: An electric power supply system using a single converter of the Boost type for supplying a plurality of lighting modules of a motor vehicle with electric voltage. Each module comprises a dedicated converter of the Buck type in order to ensure the regulation of the electric current in such a way as to meet the needs of the light sources of the lighting module in question. A communication network which connects the centralized unit and the lighting modules makes it possible to ensure the control of the modules and the detection of faults, as well as to notify the latter to other devices of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: An emergency beacon is configured to replace of one or more navigation lamps installed on an aircraft, which has a fuselage with an outer face, on which is fixed a second interface, on which such a navigation lamp is typically disposed; the emergency beacon includes a base, which has a first interface configured to cooperate with the second interface of the aircraft to fix the base onto the outer face of the fuselage; a casing with a control unit, a radio transmitter for transmitting a distress signal, and a detector to detect abnormal aircraft behavior; and a fixing structure to take up a fixation position, ensuring the casing is fixed to the base, or a separation position, in which it does not ensure the casing is fixed to the base; the transition from fixation position to separation position is controlled by the control unit when an abnormal behavior is detected.

Abstract: A software control method and apparatus for implementing a knowledge-based polymorph undockable toolbar within an object scene. The undockable toolbar can be used to perform actions on objects created and managed by computer software applications. A knowledge-based polymorph undockable toolbar can merges into a relatively small area, tools for executing various commands that would require substantial screen space if represented by standard icons on a toolbar. The present invention can be used to manipulate non-constrained objects or groups of objects included in an assembly that are linked to each other by constraints. The knowledge based polymorph undockable toolbar can also act to reduce the number of user interactions needed to perform a manipulation task.

Abstract: A method for assisting the piloting of an aircraft on the ground comprises the steps of obtaining a panoramic view of at least one area adjacent to the aircraft, isolating an image corresponding to a part of the panoramic view and which is selected according to an orientation desired by the pilot, and displaying the image on a display device visible by the pilot. A system for the implementation of the method is also provided.

Abstract: An aircraft including a fuselage having an outer face on which is fixed a second interface, at least one emergency beacon including a base having a first interface to cooperate with the second interface for fixing of the base onto the outer face, and a casing housing a control unit, a radio transmitter for transmitting a distress radio signal and detector to detect abnormal aircraft behavior, and fixing structure to take up a fixation position to ensure fixing of the casing onto the base or a separation position, in which it does not ensure fixing of the casing onto the base, the transition from the fixation position to the separation position being ordered by the control unit when the detector detect an abnormal behavior.
