Patent number: 10684329Abstract: A method for estimating the ageing of a battery powering an electrical system. A set of data about the voltage and current across the battery terminals, in response to the current perturbations provoked during the normal operation of the battery by the changes of consumption rate of the electrical system are stored. The impedance of the battery, within a predetermined frequency interval, from the voltage and current data is determined. The age of the battery as a function of the impedance is estimated by comparing the impedance with a previously stored model of evolution of this impedance with ageing.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignees: AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE SAS, CENTRE NATIONAL D'ETUDES SPATIALES CNESInventors: Laurent Gajewski, Pierre-Louis Taberna, Patrice Simon

Patent number: 8064448Abstract: An identifier (IDp) designates a group of terminals accessible via the network (RP) by packets having a multicast address as destination address. An equipment (EIm) between the network and a terminal (Tn) belonging to a group calculates the multicast address of the group using a function depending on the identifier (IDp) of the group each time that a packet including a message transmitted by the terminal is to be transmitted to the network. The equipment also calculates a group identifier (IDp) using a function depending on a multicast address extracted each time that a packet transmitted from the network is received by the equipment in order to transmit a message content extracted from the packet to be received by the terminal if the calculated group identifier is identical to the identifier of the group to which the terminal belongs. No table of mappings between the identifiers of the groups and the multicast addresses is stored in the equipment.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: EADS Secure NetworksInventor: Patrice Simon
