Patent number: 8738236Abstract: A method and system for adjustment of headlamps for motor vehicles, comprising a step for calculating a headlamp angle. The method furthermore comprises the steps of detecting a target vehicle, calculating a lateral position of the target vehicle with respect to the motor vehicle, calculating a lateral angular offset with respect to the said lateral position of the target vehicle and adjusting the headlamps as a function of the headlamp angle and of the lateral angular offset.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Valeo VisionInventors: Julien Moizard, Gregoire Sadoux, Jonathan Blandin

Patent number: 8548644Abstract: A communication method is implemented in an on-board network between a master station (M) and a plurality of slave stations (S1, S2, S3, S4), of the type of those compatible with the standard Local Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol in which data frames are sent by the slave stations on a serial bus in response to the sending by the master station of identifiers representative of the required content of the frames. All or part of each of the specific data frames attached to the same predetermined identifier is formed sequentially by each of the slave stations. This enables an optimisation of the load on a LIN network, thus enabling use of this economical standard for all “passenger compartment functions”, and in particular for the management of AFS type advanced lighting systems.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Valeo VisionInventors: Loic Flandre, Gregoire Sadoux

Patent number: 6926430Abstract: In the invention, a comparison is carried out within a computer of an item of information relating to a direction of a light beam of a lamp, this item of information being obtained by means of a position sensor, and an item of information relating to an instruction for horizontal displacement of the light beam. If there is not agreement between the two items of information, the computer can then have a degraded operating mode of the lamp adopted by compelling it to orient the light beam downwards in order to remove any risk of dazzling an oncoming driver. To that end, the computer controls a range correction motor in order to bring about a downwards vertical deviation of the light beam.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2003Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Valeo VisionInventors: Alain Dari, Grégoire Sadoux, Julien Moizard

Publication number: 20040032743Abstract: In the invention, a comparison is carried out within a computer (217) of an item of information (300) relating to a direction of a light beam of a lamp (200), this item of information being obtained by means of a position sensor (216), and an item of information (301) relating to an instruction for horizontal displacement of the light beam. If there is not agreement between the two items of information, the computer (216) can then have a degraded operating mode of the lamp (200) adopted by compelling it to orient the light beam downwards in order to remove any risk of dazzling an oncoming driver. To that end, the computer (217) controls a range correction motor (209) in order to bring about a downwards vertical deviation of the light beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2003Publication date: February 19, 2004Inventors: Alain Dari, Gregoire Sadoux, Julien Moizard
