  • Patent number: 12054987
    Abstract: A method for controlling a shading device includes: moving a screen by electrical activation of an electromechanical actuator; determining a value of data representing operation of a motorised drive device during screen movement; and comparing the determined data to a first predetermined threshold. Depending on the result, the method includes: reducing a rotational speed setpoint of an output shaft of the electromechanical actuator if the value of the determined data?the value of the first predetermined threshold, to reduce power consumed by the electromechanical actuator; or maintaining the rotational speed setpoint of the output shaft of the electromechanical actuator as long as the determined data<the value of the first predetermined threshold. The determined data is the power consumed or the torque delivered by the electromechanical actuator. The determining, comparing, and reducing are iterated until a value of a second predetermined speed threshold is reached.

  • Patent number: 11979910
    Abstract: A method for transmitting data stream packets within a wireless communication network, includes the following steps: at at least one node: computing, from the signatures Si of the streams Fi to which the node has subscribed and for each of these streams Fi, reserved resources RBres wherein there is no collision, and resources RBcomp potentially in competition, wherein collisions are possible, checking whether the current resource RB is reserved or whether it is in competition, if the current resource RBres is reserved if the node is the packet transmission source or if the node has already correctly decoded the packet, transmitting the packet of the stream associated with the resource, if not, attempting to decode the packet of the stream and, if the decoding is correct, storing the decoded packet in memory, if the current resource RBcomp is in competition, applying a method for managing stream collisions on the resources where n>1.

  • Patent number: 9396048
    Abstract: A process for displaying—in a web browser of a user computer terminal—the rendering that is produced by an application designed to be executed independently by a computer operating system. This process includes a stage that consists in executing (E22, E23) within the browser a software module that triggers execution (E24, E25) of the application by the operating system of the terminal and implementing, during the execution of the application, stages that consist in: detecting (E28) at least one window that is generated by the application and that relates to the rendering generated by the application; and for each window that is detected in the preceding stage, rendering the window that is detected hierarchically depending on the software module, in such a way as to redirect (E28) the rendering produced by the application toward a window that is displayed in the browser.

  • Patent number: 7698120
    Abstract: The method according to the invention is characterized in that on the basis of an existing task model, which may be provided by an expert, it is enhanced with the current state of the user in his task, the events allowing a change of state of the user are described, and the interaction to be performed with the user to manage an event is described for this event occurring during a state of the user. Advantageously, before each interaction procedure, the list of constraints necessary for triggering the interaction is added, and after each interaction procedure, the values that this interaction should provide according to the result of the interaction and which should be presented to the user as feedback are added.
