Abstract: The invention relates to a goods transport vehicle including a detector system for detecting the direction in which an item passes through a loading/unloading door on the vehicle, the detector system including: a first read-interrogate element including a first antenna having a first detection lobe, the first read-interrogate element monitoring a first region situated on one side of the loading/unloading door; a second read-interrogate element including a second antenna having a second detection lobe that does not overlap the first detection lobe, the second read-interrogate element monitoring a second region situated on the other side of the loading/unloading door; and processor means connected to the first and second read-interrogate elements, the processor means determining the direction in which the item passes through as a function of the order in which the two regions are crossed.

Abstract: An RFID read/interrogate device including: memory means for storing data about the state of preservation of a substance; transmit/receive means connected to the memory means via processor means for reading the data from an RFID tag delivering the data about the state of preservation of a substance, including at least temperature data; power supply means; clock means for periodically delivering a clock signal to the processor means, the processor means periodically interrogating the RFID tag and storing the state data in the memory means at the rate of the clock signal delivered by the clock means so as to enable the state of preservation of a substance equipped with the RFID tag to be determined in real time; and display means for viewing information about the substance and the state of preservation of the substance. A container provided with such a device.

Abstract: For controlling nutation of a three-axis stabilized satellite, the angular speed of a solar panel carried by the satellite is selectively and temporarily varied about an average value for modifying the inertia cross-product thereof and generating an angular momentum transverse to the angular momentum present in said body with a phase with respect to the nutation motion which tends to decrease the amplitude of the nutation motion.
