Abstract: A method controls the height of a floor of a car of a vehicle relative to a platform. The car includes a body provided with a distance sensor, at least one bogie and at least one secondary suspension between the bogie and the body. The method includes measuring the distance between the distance sensor and the platform via the distance sensor, calculating the difference between the height of the platform and the height of the floor from the measured distance, and adjusting the height of the secondary suspension based on the difference.

Abstract: A free-standing swimming pool comprising a rigid wall supported by posts with a coping over at least part of its periphery, the coping including: profiled sections (11) lapping over the top edge of the wall between two consecutive posts (5), these sections having longitudinal cells (15, 16) extending into their respective end faces; rigid plates (17) resting on the top faces of the posts and on which the facing ends (14) of two successive profiled sections rest; and connecting flange units (18) resting respectively on the plates and screwed through the corresponding plate into the top face of the posts, these flange units each featuring transverse positioning and vertical fixing means (22, 25) engaging inside the cells (15, 16) of two facing profiled sections to hold these in a correct relative position.

Abstract: A swimming pool with a rigid structure, comprises a rigid peripheral wall made of a rot-resistant material supported by posts and a flexible waterproof liner arranged in the space defined by the rigid wall and attached to the upper edge of the said wall, in which, along their full height, the posts comprise an interior portion made of a rot-resistant material to which the rigid wall is secured and an externally projecting portion having at least two grooves, one on either side, and cladding panels having at least externally at least the appearance of wood are slid into the opposing grooves of two consecutive posts the externally projecting portions of the posts being of such dimensions and the grooves being so positioned that there is a gap between the cladding panels and the rigid wall.
