Abstract: A process making it possible to select a taxi from a fleet of taxis, with a view to allocating it a trip to be undertaken, this selection being a function of the position of the taxis and of the point of departure of the trip.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process and device for avoiding fraud in a taxi equipped with a taximeter of extractable type, and consequently generally provided with a male/female coupling connector. It consists in providing, on each taxi receiving an extractable taximeter, a circuit memory which contains data for identifying the taximeter when it is connected to this taxi. This taximeter is prevented from functioning if such identification reveals that the taximeter is not the one which was calibrated for this taxi.

Abstract: Process for preventing frauds with regard to a taxi equipped with an electronic taximeter (1) possessing a “for hire” position and a tariff position, which is associated with a printer whose job is to print, at the end of each trip, a receipt intended to be given to the customer, said printer having at least its printing head (20) mechanically separate from the taximeter (1), but being electrically connected to it, which consists in detecting the occurrence of a disconnection of the printing head (20) of the printer with respect to the taximeter (1), and as the case may be:

Abstract: A method and device for avoiding fraud on a Taximeter or Tachograph, by connecting an auxiliary generator between the censor and the Taximeter or Tachograph. The signal which is applied to the Taximeter or Tachograph is analyzed by sampling, in an anti-fraud action is triggered off if this analysis shows that this signal has undergone a regular amplitude modulation.

Abstract: An electronic device, placed in an impregnable envelope and electrically connected between an electronic sensor and a taximeter or chronotachograph, tests at least one of the internal characteristics of the active dipole present between two output wires of the sensor or electrical characteristics of a signal present at its terminals. The test values are then compared with one or several reference values. An electronic anti-fraud action is triggered in the event of non-conformity between the test values and the reference values. One anti-fraud action includes preventing the functioning of the taximeter or chronotachograph.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for forming a wiring harness comprising a plurality of conductors with their ends either engaged to a conductor or remaining bare for later connection. The method and device results in each connector or group of bare ends of the wiring harness having a predetermined geographic position corresponding to a desired coupling position to enable the connector or group of bare ends to be engaged to equipment to be interconnected by the wiring harness. Each conductor of the final wiring harness follows a predetermined path inside the harness between its ends, such paths having common portions along which the conductors are bound together. The invention applies more particularly, although not exclusively, to the formation of wiring harnesses for connecting together numerous pieces of electric, electronic or other equipment required in automobiles, aircraft or other systems.

Abstract: The object of this invention is processes and devices for the automatic connection of conductor wire or optical fiber section ends to adapted component receptacles using clamps of various types and having specific uses.A device according to the invention comprises a conveyor (1) which feeds clamps to various end processing units. Loading unit (5) positions wire sections in a first type of clamp (2). Units (4), (20) modify the ends for purposes of their connection. Unit (21) interchanges the ends in clamps to arrange them in a preferential order for the connection which is subsequently performed by one or more units (32). The invention uses clamps adapted to a variety of operations, to hold a group of wires (72) or to hold components (34).An application is the automatic production of conductor wire bundles.
