  • Method for controlling the supply of fuel and/or the payment for same at a service station and installation used for implementing this method
    Patent number: 6598792
    Abstract: The device for implementing the method consists in a receiving unit at the station, associated with a computer managing the dispensing nozzles, a terminal associated with a pump controller and linked to the receiving unit and an identifying module associated with each of the nozzles and also on the vehicle, a device for reading the modules provided in the inlet of the fuel tank, a processor for typing out messages including data from the reading device as well as other data and a transmitter/receiver to transmit the messages to the receiver of the receiving unit. The invention is applicable particularly to the supply of fuel to vehicles of road transport companies.

  • Method and device for time control of movement or position of persons, animals or objects
    Publication number: 20030054836
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method comprising the following successive steps: reading with a reading device (31) data stored by an identifying transponder chip (10), and transmitting the read data to a mobile telephone (20) whereto the reading device is connected, transmitting by mobile telephone to a control centre (1) a signalling message containing the data read by the reading device, reception at the control centre of the signalling message, and storing the data contained in the message received associated with data identifying the signalling message transmitter, and the time and date at which said message is received.

  • System for exchanging information between a portable object such as a key and an exchange device
    Patent number: 5376932
    Abstract: A system is provided for exchanging information between a portable object, such as a key, and an exchange device, the latter being installed in a lock and transmitting a modulated carrier. The key comprises circuits for demodulating the modulated carrier received and restoring a first signal representative of the information transmitted by the exchange device, as well as processing circuits receiving the first signal and generating a second signal representative of the information to be transmitted. The second signal causes an impedance to vary suddenly so that the load seen by the exchange device varies and The information is thus transmitted thereto. The impedance is adapted in addition as a limiter. A clock signal is obtained, from the modulated carrier, by clipping, as well as a supply voltage by rectification and regulation.
