Abstract: A navigational aid system is designed to switch between an operating mode certified according to a standard and a non-certified operating mode. It is based on a modular architecture and implemented by the execution of compliant modules (MOD1, MOD2) having an attribute of compliance and of modules (MOD3, MOD4) with no attribute of compliance. An indicator (IND) is provided, which is representative of the current operating mode; the compliant modules (MOD1, MOD2) are designed to call a function (FN1, FN2, FN3, SRV) of another module, only when the indicator (IND) is representative of the non-certified operating mode or when the other module has an attribute of compliance.

Abstract: An ergonomic and extensible supervision system, in particular for technical management of buildings, centralized technical management and fire safety, using data of at least one computerized plan representing the installation to be supervised and the technical elements of the installation and including: an automatic computer-based reading component for analyzing and extracting data from the plan in the form of blocks containing at least one technical element; a computer-based viewing component for generating, from the data supplied by the reading component, and data concerning the technical elements, a list of variables and data corresponding to the blocks, including the mapping data of the technical elements; a computer-based matching component for matching the list of variables with the technical elements located in the installation to be monitored, so as to constitute a supervising application; means for parametering the supervising application, using a man/machine interface.

Abstract: An open system for integrating and managing computer-based components representing a specific functionality of a specific application with a computer-based core including: a standard context for integrating computer-based components into the specific application; an integrating protocol including instantiating and loading means for indexing, selecting and assigning computer-based components to the execution of functional objectives of the specific application; connecting means for setting up connections and monitoring message flows among the computer-based components; at least one man-machine interface for enabling the connections and the message flows among the computer-based components to be monitored by a user; specific computer-based components, dedicated to the execution of specific applications.
