Abstract: A method updates a digital system in a vehicle having an onboard client computer that communicates with a remote server, an onboard monitor-control unit operatively connected to the onboard client computer, and an electrical energy accumulator device for powering the onboard client computer and the onboard monitor-control unit. The method includes downloading a file from the remote server using the onboard client computer as long as the electrical energy accumulator device is capable of being recharged. Then at least part of the file that was downloaded is distributed to the onboard monitor-control unit using the onboard client computer. Then, all or a portion of the at least part of the file that was distributed is installed in the onboard monitor-control unit. Then the at least part of the file that was installed is activated after stopping the vehicle using the onboard monitor-control unit.

Abstract: A cosmetic method for balancing the skin microbiota. The cosmetic method includes the application to all or part of the skin, skin appendages and/or mucous membranes of at least one short-chain fructo-oligosaccharide and at least one native starch. Also, a cosmetic composition, which includes, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one short-chain fructo-oligosaccharide and at least one native starch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transmitting data in the form of at least one pulse sequence Tsgk (for k=1 to K). The method according to the invention includes at least one symbol decoding step in the course of which at least one modulation value Pwk representative of an amount of power carried by each pulse sequence Tsgk is computed and compared to at least one predetermined threshold value Thvk, which will be computed beforehand by equating a first and a second probability density function representing a likelihood for the transmitted signal to carry a first symbol and a likelihood for the transmitted signal to carry a second symbol, respectively. The method according to the invention enables to limit the processing time and power needed for performing the demodulation of a power-modulated UWB signal.
