  • Patent number: 10545734
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a graphical interface including receiving and displaying a selection of elements among a plurality of graphical and/or data entry elements, each element having at least a property among a plurality of graphical and/or activation and/or content properties; receiving and displaying formulas, each formula linking at least two properties of one element or several elements of the selection; and determining from the selection of elements and the formulas a separate graphical interface program, the execution of the separate graphical interface program resulting in the display of the selection of elements, the properties of which are linked by the formulas.

  • Patent number: 9837225
    Abstract: An electrical snap on switch includes a pair of associated contact elements, the contact elements include a fixed contact element and a movable contact element arranged facing the fixed contact element and that may come into contact with the fixed contact element for establishing a first conductive path. The snap on switch may also include a snap-action switching device that includes a tilting driving member pivotally mounted around a horizontal axis between an upper position and a lower position. The movable contact element is a movable portion of an elastically deformable conductive blade. The driving member includes a cam, which cooperates with a cam follower portion of the blade to deform or relax the blade, to cause the movable contact to come into contact, or out of contact, with the fixed contact element, therefore to realize switching.

  • Patent number: 8823706
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a method, a program and a production edition system of visualization of objects in a scene. The method according to the invention aims at indicating a distance between objects by modifying a property (like a rendering property) of a target object according to a distance to an active object. Typically, a light source is simulated and attached at the active object and the scene is accordingly modified dynamically. Such a method bypasses the basic materialization of the distance between objects. Hence, no display of extrinsic elements is mandatory and possible interferences are prevented. In addition, the method allows, by definition, a progressive modification of e.g. a rendering of the target object. Thus, modifications in the scene are better understood by the user and ergonomics are improved.
