Patent number: 10603826Abstract: A method for producing a plastic vehicle attachment part is described, such that a polymeric film is laid in an injection mold, the polymeric film having an opaque or semi-opaque imprint or a color pigmentation. The polymeric film is back injected with a polymeric covering part, wherein the polymeric covering part is optically transparent. A polymeric carrier part is sprayed at least on a part of the surface of the polymeric covering part facing away from the polymeric film. A protective layer is applied at least on the polymeric film.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: Rym Benyahia, Thomas Lux, Ahmet Turan, Nicolas Fournier

Publication number: 20090220143Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern a method for measuring a shape anomaly on an aircraft structural panel, including the following operations: projecting a target pattern at the site of the anomaly on the panel; producing at least two images of the projected pattern; processing the two images by stereocorrelation to obtain measurements of the anomaly. The disclosed embodiments also concern a system for implementing the method, including: a projected device for projecting a target pattern at the site of the anomaly on the panel; at least two imaging devices for producing each an image of the target pattern; and means for processing the target pattern images.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2006Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: AIRBUS FRANCEInventor: Nicolas Fournier

Patent number: 7298499Abstract: This process includes arranging a grid on the surface a structure to be inspected, directing a light source onto this grid so as to create a shadow on the structure, recording an image of the pattern observed, displaying a graphic representation of the image recorded, and determining a depth of the damage from this representation. The device enabling the implementation of the process includes a grid or screen, a light sources, an image acquisition device, and a display. Once the images are recorded, the invention calls upon processing devices that permit determining the position in space, in particular, a height, of each point of the image and as such of the surface observed.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Airbus FranceInventor: Nicolas Fournier

Publication number: 20050246108Abstract: This process includes the stages to apply onto the surface a structure to be inspected, a grid, to direct a light source onto this grid so as to create a shadow on the structure, then to record an image of the pattern observed, to create a graphic representation of the image recorded and to characterize the damage from this representation. The device enabling the implementation of the process consists of a support (2) comprising a grid or screen (1), a light source (3) and an image acquisition device (8). Once the images are recorded, the invention calls upon processing devices that permit determining the position in space, in particular, height, of each point of the image and as such of the surface observed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: Airbus FranceInventor: Nicolas Fournier

Publication number: 20030204744Abstract: A method and a system for providing a terminal in a first network, in which the terminal has a network address, with access to a second network. A traffic node (TN) establishes a virtual network with the terminal and intercepts traffic sent by the terminal. If the terminal is not authorised to send traffic towards the second network, the TN notifies a network service node (LSN) that in turn sends a forced portal to the terminal. The user logs on, using the forced portal, the LSN verifies the log-on and, if successful, informs the TN that the terminal is authorised. The TN then updates a filter and lets the traffic through. If the second network belongs to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), then the TN logs the user onto the ISP and associates the IP address given by the ISP with the first network address in the filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Inventors: Robert-Claude Maltais, Gerald Host, Nicolas Fournier

The user profile comprises a private part accessible only by the user, and a public part accessible to the public. Each context profile may comprise personal information, personal settings, and access policies. As parts of the personal portal may be accessible and downloaded by other users, there is also provided a method and a system for keeping the downloaded profiles up to date. There is also provided a profile storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2001Publication date: November 7, 2002Inventors: Eric Richer, Nicolas Fournier, Pierre-Luc Jodoin, Robert-Claude Maltais, Gerald Host
