  • Patent number: 9464561
    Abstract: A cooling system for a hybrid powertrain of a motor vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine and an electric traction assembly, comprising a main circuit that can be traversed by a coolant in order to cool the internal combustion engine to a first temperature level and a secondary circuit that can be traversed by a coolant to cool the electric traction assembly to a second temperature level, lower than the first level, each of the circuits and comprising a radiator capable of cooling the coolant by means of heat exchange with an air flow, at least one hydraulic pump for circulating the coolant in the coolant circuits, and one electronic control unit capable of controlling the hydraulic pumps. The control unit comprises a module for recovering information on the dynamics of the vehicle and a module for controlling the flow from the hydraulic pumps on the basis of that information.

  • Patent number: 8464155
    Abstract: There is provided a method for use by a server for facilitating delivery of content to a number of display devices. Each of the display devices can include, for example, an output display and a personal computer. In one embodiment, content is received from a computer coupled to the server. The content can be, for example, an image, video, or audio data. The content is stored in a source storage file, which is associated with a number of display devices coupled to the server. A group synchronization command is then received from the computer. Thereafter, the content is provided to a group of synchronization files associated with the source storage file. The content is then transmitted from the group of synchronization storage files to the number of display devices.

  • Patent number: 8448150
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for translating a high-level language (HLL) code such as C, C++, Fortran, Java or the like into a HDL code such as Verilog or VHDL which requires no modification in the original HLL source code, while supporting a cross call between software and hardware, and even recursive calls in hardware. The system includes: a HLL-to-HLL source translator which reads user programming directive from a translation-targeted high-level language code marked with the user directive, and separates the translation-targeted high-level language code into a hardware code part and a software code part; a main compiler which compiles the software code part; a HLL-to-HDL translator which includes the front-end and middle-end of the main compiler and a HDL backend; a main core which executes the compiled software code part; and a dedicated hardware which executes the HDL code.

  • Patent number: 8336036
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for translating a high programming level language code such as C, C++, Fortran, Java or the like into a HDL code such as Verilog or VHDL. The system includes: a C-to-C source translator which reads user API from a translation-targeted high level language code marked with the user API, separates the translation-targeted high level language code into a hardware code part and a software code part, and stores the hardware code part and the software code part in separate files; a main compiler which compiles the stored software code part; a translator which translates the stored hardware code part into a HDL code including one or more block modules and one top module; a main core which executes the compiled software code part; and a dedicated hardware which executes the HDL code.

  • Publication number: 20090218846
    Abstract: A trapping detection seal for opening leaves, for example motor vehicle opening leaves, of elongate shape with an elastically deformable cross section including a first cut-out region arranged between a first conducting region and a second conduction region so as to enable the two conducting regions to come into contact with one another during deformation of the seal in a first direction. A second cut-out region is arranged between the first conducting region and a third conducting region, the cross section of the seal being deformable in at least a second direction, which is different from the first direction, to enable the first conducting region to come into contact with the third conduction region during deformation of the seal in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20050241796
    Abstract: For the production of piston pins having a hard peripheral area, a relatively inexpensive chill casting method is used. A chill form having a mold cavity for a piston pin is embedded in a casting mold, cast iron is poured into the mold cavity of the chill form, and then the peripheral area of the piston pin that results from this process is cooled by means of the chill form, is white-solidified, and thereby forms a hard wear-resistant surface.
