  • Patent number: 11008784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a driverless vehicle comprising at least two compartments, two opening elements, at least one retractable compartment partition, and an unlocking device comprising an electronic lock for each opening element, which is able to be locked or unlocked depending on the value of an instruction. The vehicle also comprises a control module comprising a sensor for receiving a digital key and an electronic component for authenticating the digital key and generating an instruction signal. The electronic lock comprises means for detecting closure of the opening elements, and the control module comprises digital key generation means able to generate a unique digital key upon each closure of the opening elements, the electronic component being able to authenticate the received digital key through comparison with the generated unique digital key.

  • Patent number: 10475265
    Abstract: The invention relates to a locker comprising compartments; one/more compartment separator(s) which could take a first position, so as to separate the compartments, or a second position, so as to assemble the compartments; doors forming access to the compartments, and electronic locks which can lock or unlock the doors according to the value of an instruction; a control module linked to the electronic locks; means for receiving and authenticating a digital key and for generating an instruction signal; means for determining the positions of the separator(s); when it is determined that the compartment separator(s) is/are positioned in the second position, following the authentication of the digital key, the instruction signal is transmitted to all the electronic locks associated with the doors which form access to the compartments arranged on either side of the compartment separator(s), for the locking or unlocking of said doors.

  • Patent number: 5121462
    Abstract: A process for producing scintillating optical fibres consisting in dissolving in a monomer having aromatic cycles, in particular vinyltoluene or styrene, 1-phenyl-3-mesityl-2-pyrazolin (PMP) doping molecules and a chain transfer agent, especially glycoldimercapto acetate, in heating the mixture so as to cause it to polymerize and to effect the final sheathing and stretching of the polymer so as to produce the optical fibres. The process of the invention enables fibres to be obtained which have a very small diameter (in the region of 30 to 50 microns) with a reduced molar extinction in a proportion exceeding 100 in relation to conventional scintillating fibres; it also totally suppresses diaphotic phenomena when the fibres are arranged to form a beam.
