Abstract: In selected examples, a vehicle control system (VCS) includes Bluetooth beacons and an app running on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a key fob equipped with movement sensors and a Bluetooth® transceiver. Passive keyless entry capability of the system uses received signal strength indications (RSSIs) together with movement-related indications of the movement sensors to determine when the mobile device moves away from the vehicle beyond a predetermined departure distance, and/or approaches the vehicle to within a predetermined arrival distance. When the user approaches the vehicle, the mobile device automatically transmits an arrival notification to the VCS, which automatically performs arrival actions, e.g., unlocking doors and disarming security features of the VCS/vehicle. When the user moves away from the vehicle, the mobile device automatically transmits a departures notification to the VCS, which performs departure actions, e.g.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a vehicle control system (VCS) coupled to a computer of a vehicle via a CAN bus and configured to present selectively appearance of a presence in the vehicle of a smartkey, e.g., by energizing and de-energizing an actual smartkey of the vehicle. The VCS includes a VCS and a Bluetooth® VCS transceiver. The VCS stores VCS software. The apparatus also includes a smartphone with a Bluetooth® transceiver, and storing an app. The mobile device is paired with the VCS to communicate with the VCS via a Bluetooth® link. The app configures the smartphone to receive menu selections from a user, to generate communications that identify smartkey-enabled features of the VCS that correspond to the selections, and to send to the VCS the communications through the link. The VCS software configures the VCS to receive the communications and cause the vehicle to perform actions corresponding to the communications.

Abstract: An outer shroud of an intermediate casing for a dual flow turbine engine for an aircraft, the shroud including: an annular downstream portion provided with a shroud opening passing through an annular downstream edge of the shroud; a connecting member (50) attached to the annular downstream portion, and intended to attach an arm that passes through a secondary flow path; an air-sealing and fire-resistance device including: a portion including: a pad arranged in a hollow annular area of the annular downstream edge of the shroud; a blade protruding from the pad and clamped between a circumferential end and the radially outer end of the arm, a leaf spring (pressing the pad into the hollow annular area.

Abstract: Method for acquiring data for detecting damage to a bearing, comprising the following steps: obtaining a vibration signal from the bearing over a period of time, determining spectrograms of said vibration signal at various instants of the period of time, detecting the peaks on each spectrogram, from among the detected peaks, retaining the peaks which, in spectrograms corresponding to successive instants and transformed through synchronous resampling at a rotational speed of the bearing, would be present at the same frequency, with a predetermined tolerance, identifying spectral lines corresponding to the retained peaks, and storing information representative of said spectral lines in a record able to be used by a unit for detecting damage to the bearing.

Abstract: In selected embodiments, a vehicle control system (VCS) is coupled to a vehicle computer and configured to present selectively appearance of a presence in the vehicle of a smartkey, e.g., by energizing/de-energizing the smartkey. The VCS communicates with a remote vehicle control platform (VCP) configured to direct the VCS and send/receive SMS messages. An authorized user of the vehicle sends from a smartphone an SMS to the VCP, identifying the vehicle and a smartphone of another person with whom the authorized user wishes to share the vehicle. The VCP sends an SMS to the other person's smartphone, notifying the other person of the vehicle's availability. The second person replies to the VCP, requesting vehicle access. The VCP receives the reply SMS, validates the other person's smartphone, and signals the VCS to grant vehicle access. The VCS unlocks the vehicle, and energizes the smartkey, rendering the vehicle accessible.
