Abstract: A device and a method for locking and/or unlocking a motor vehicle opening panel and vehicle having the device. The device includes a detection wall having an inner side and an opposite outer side, the outer side forming a contact detection region, and a detection component arranged against the inner side for detecting contact between a user's finger or hand and the outer side. The detection component includes a sensor having a layer of a piezoelectric material which has surface undulations in the form of ridges. The layer of piezoelectric material is configured to detect predetermined contact on the outer side with a view to controlling the locking or unlocking of the opening panel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a C-shaped arm for use with a medical imaging system. In accordance with certain embodiments, the C-shaped arm comprises a C-shaped portion, a radiation source carried by the C-shaped portion, and a radiation detector carried by the C-shaped portion, wherein at least a portion of the C-shaped portion is formed of a unidirectional ultra-high modulus carbon fiber material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a location method characterised in that it comprises the following steps: a) receiving in a location device (1) signals from radio signal transmitters, each radio signal transmitter being capable of transmitting a digital frame including a header containing at least one transmitter identifier, and determining a list of identifiers containing an identifier for each transmitter; b) determining a set of candidate elements among sub-areas, or elements, of a geographic area; c) selecting the best candidate in the set of candidate elements; and d) locating said location device (1) in said element selected as the best candidate during step c).
