  • Publication number: 20230400924
    Abstract: A touch interface, intended to control a device and to be touched by an external body, includes a plate, at least one transducer, a control member, a sensor, and a control unit. The at least one transducer is configured to apply a variable amplitude pressure to the plate to vibrate the plate. The control member extends from the plate, between a proximal surface, integral with the plate, and a distal surface. The control member is intended to be in contact with an external body. The sensor is configured to emit a state signal. The state signal is representative of contact of the external body on the control member. The control unit is connected to the sensor and is configured to send, on the basis of the state signal, an activation signal to at least one transducer, to form a vibration propagating along the plate to the control member.

  • Patent number: 11789553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device of a capacitive touch surface capable of detecting the position or movement of at least one finger or a control stylus of a user in the proximity of the capacitive touch surface. The device includes a three-dimensional control member secured to the capacitive touch surface and provided with an electrically insulating body having a lower surface facing the capacitive touch surface and a three-dimensional surface intended to be touched or scanned by at least one finger or a stylus of a user. The three-dimensional control member is provided with a plurality of electrical conductors separated in pairs by an electrically insulating space and configured to exchange electrical charges with the capacitive touch surface when a user touches or swipes the three-dimensional surface, such that a user can interact with the capacitive touch surface via the three-dimensional control member.

  • Patent number: 11125788
    Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring an electrical quantity out of a voltage and arc intensity relative to an alternating current flowing in an electrical conductor, includes a measurement module configured to measure at least one value of the electrical quantity, a wireless transceiver, and a transmission module linked to the wireless transceiver. The monitoring device furthermore includes a computation module configured to compute at least one parameter for monitoring the electrical quantity as a function of at least one measured value of the electrical quantity, each monitoring parameter being chosen from an angular phase of the electrical quantity and a modulus of the electrical quantity, the transmission module being configured to transmit, to another electronic device, a data message containing at least one computed monitoring parameter.

  • Patent number: 10288650
    Abstract: This system comprises a first device comprising a member for measuring voltage of a primary conductor, means for sampling the measured voltage, means for transmitting a first message, and means for determining a set of variable values representative of the voltage, based on the voltage measured during a given transmission period; at least one second device having a current sensor for determining intensity in a secondary conductor connected to the primary conductor, means for sampling the measured intensity; and a member for calculating said energy, including means for receiving the first message and being configured for calculating an energy during the given transmission period on the basis of said data set and intensity samples associated with the given transmission period. The determination means are configured for determining said data set based on a correction coefficient which depends on a value representative of the voltage only for each voltage period where said value is greater than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10254126
    Abstract: The system (20) according to the invention for calculating an electric quantity relative to an electrical installation comprising several secondary electrical conductors (42A, . . . , 48C) electrically connected to a primary electrical conductor (34; 36; 38). This system comprises a first module (60) including a wireless transmitter (70) and a plurality of second modules (62A, 62B, 62C). Each second module includes first means (84A, 88A; 84B, 88B; 84C, 88C) for receiving a first synchronization message (M1) and second transmission means (84A, . . . , 88C) for sending a second message (M2A, M2B, M2C) containing at least one intensity value measured by the corresponding current sensor to a third module (63). The intensity values are measured quasi-simultaneously and the third module includes a unit (104) for calculating the electric quantity from intensity values received via said second messages.
