Abstract: A system and method for the magnetic detection of the presence of objects in a blind angle of an automobile vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a first detector of distortion of the earth's magnetic field caused by the entry of a ferromagnetic object into a blind angle, a second, a third and possibly a fourth detector of magnetic distortion deriving from the vehicle's trajectory, inclination and/or vibration and magnetic fields generated inside the actual vehicle, respectively, all associated with an electronic circuit. The method includes employing the proposed system to, through the generation of a table relating trajectory, inclination and/or vibrations or magnetic fields generated inside the vehicle with a corresponding distortion of the magnetic filed due to the specific circumstances, neutralize the effects of the possible magnetic distortion on the detection of the object.

Abstract: The system includes a capturing device for capturing information regarding presence from the exterior, representative of an object included within a supervisory area, which operates in combination with a device for detecting trajectories and a device for detecting inclinations of the vehicle, associated and in cooperation with an electronic system. The method includes using the proposed system to, by the generation of a chart that relates the trajectory and/or inclination with a corresponding supervisory area to be covered by the capturing device, vary the supervisory area depending on the trajectory and/or inclination of the vehicle, through the selection and execution of the appropriate actions, by the electronic system, which will depend on the type of capturing device used.

Abstract: An outside rearview mirror flexing mechanism, which is capable of moving the outside rearview mirror between a flexed position and an extended position and vice versa, and which is of the type comprising an electric motor, a mechanical transmission and an electronic control circuit. The flexing mechanism is capable of attaining an activated state by being connected to an electrical power source, and it is capable of being in a locked position and in an unlocked position. The flexing mechanism is provided with a position detector which is capable of detecting the locked position and the unlocked position.
