Abstract: System (1) for remotely reading a meter (5) or equipment fitted with data visual indicators (6), which is characterized in that it is based on the use of reprogrammable logic devices (9) and the fact that it can be remotely reprogrammed. These two features make the system (1) universal, i.e., suitable for all types of meters (5), and adjustable to all types of variations in the installation or operation conditions of the meter (5) or the system (1) itself. Methods for reconfiguration, image capture, etc. are defined, having in common that some actions are carried out in parallel, with the use of queues, therefore requiring a small number of (or low-capacity) data storage memory components.

Abstract: The mobile element is a vehicle window pane, panel, movable seat or similar, conveniently guided, and driven by a DC electric motor with a permanent magnet, and the method comprises a step of detecting an entrapment or collision situation of the mobile element by means of a first fuzzy logic algorithm, which inputs are the mobile element's position and the increments that may occur in the intensity of the current demanded by said motor, which is evaluated from the relative increase of the current intensity at one turn of the motor and after one next, subsequent turn of the motor. A second fuzzy logic algorithm is used to control the mobile element's velocity, in close loop.
