  • Publication number: 20150224921
    Abstract: Method of controlling a rear fog light of a motor vehicle whose lamp is intended to be powered with a nominal supply voltage, comprising in the presence of a command to turn on said lamp, a reduction of the supply voltage of the lamp of said light in the presence of an exterior temperature of the vehicle that is greater than a threshold temperature and possibly of a speed of the vehicle that is below a threshold speed for a duration at least equal to a threshold duration.

  • Patent number: 7026258
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making thin-film CIGS which consists in: electrochemically depositing on a substrate a layer of stoichiometry close to CuInSe2; then rapidly annealing said layer from a light source with pulses of sufficient power to recrystallize CIS. Advantageously, the electrodeposited elements are premixed. Thus, after the deposition step, a homogeneous matrix is obtained which can support sudden temperature increases during the rapid annealing.

  • Patent number: 6535488
    Abstract: A method of routing messages between stations of a network is characterised in that each of the stations performs the following operations: storage (E104, E102) of data concerning each message which it receives and including at least one message identifier (ID, ISS), an identifier (TSS) for the station sending the message, and a message transmission cost (CT), and, after having stored the data of two messages whose message identifiers (ID, ISS) are identical and whose sending station identifiers (TSS) are different, comparison of the transmission costs (CT) of the two messages in order to determine the sending station associated with the lowest cost. The invention makes it possible to detect paths in the network.

  • Patent number: 6459685
    Abstract: Messages are broadcast between a plurality of stations in a wireless network where each station has a memory storing a respective first table containing identifiers of final destination stations of messages associated with identifiers of intermediate destination stations of messages, wherein any station under consideration broadcasts a message when it receives a message. Data relating to a received message, including at least one message identifier and an identifier of a station sending the message, is stored in a second table. The message identifier is compared with message identifiers previously stored in the second table.

  • Patent number: 5068584
    Abstract: An auxiliary device for handling failures of an actuating system of a linear electric actuator, including an auxiliary drive device which works with a braking device, so that, in case of failure of said actuating system, the auxiliary drive device returns the actuator to its zero position and the braking device maintains this position in opposition to any mechanical action.
