  • Patent number: 6915122
    Abstract: Method for calibrating a motor vehicle hands-free access system comprising a control unit (UC) with an emitting antenna (AE) and an antenna controller (PA), consists in: 1. sending to the control unit (UC), from a measurement apparatus (AM) equipped with a receiving antenna (AR) connected to the control unit (UC) via a wire link (LF), a message to configure the control unit (UC) in calibration mode, 2. transmitting a signal via said emitting and receiving antennas (AE, AR) to said measurement apparatus (AM), 3. measuring characteristics of the received signal, comparing them with reference values and sending calibration data via the wire link (LF), 4. on receipt of the data, modifying the parameters of the antenna controller (PA). Using this method, it is possible to correct certain operating defects of the hands-free access systems through an operation at the end of the motor vehicle assembly line.

  • Patent number: 6756944
    Abstract: Flat-top antenna emitting and/or receiving an electromagnetic field, particularly for a motor vehicle, formed of multi-strand conductors connected one by one to form turns. The flat-top antenna is positioned on a mechanical support so that it is mainly at right angles to the surface defined by the turns. Hands-free access and starting system may comprise such an antenna.

  • Patent number: 6337625
    Abstract: The invention relates to an intrusion detection process for detecting an intrusion within a space, in which at least two acoustic or electromagnetic signals are emitted at different frequencies (f1, f2, . . . fn) inside said space; at a point inside said space, a signal is received that is the combination of the signals emitted and reflected in said space; the characteristics of the demodulated signals of different frequencies are compared to establish the presence or absence of an intrusion; an intrusion signal is generated when the presence of an intruder is confirmed. The invention also proposes an intrusion detection device implementing the process according to the invention.
