Abstract: A method for detecting and localizing a failure of an input sensor of a flight control computer of an aircraft including comparing a first piece of information representative of a probability of occurrence of the failure, delivered by a neural network, with a second piece of information representative of a probability of occurrence of the failure, delivered by a classifier trained to carry out a detection and a localization of the failure. It is thus possible to optimize a failure diagnosis and a localization of a failure of an input sensor used in the determination of flight controls.

Abstract: A method of characterizing a part including obtaining an X-ray tomography image of the part and then a step of correlating the image with a reference wherein the correlation step includes searching among a predefined set of X-ray tomography image transformations for a transformation that minimizes the difference between the image and the reference in order to characterize the inside of the part.

Abstract: An electronic circuit card and a corresponding data acquisition and generation system, including a conditioning circuit for conditioning input signals of at least two types chosen from the following types: digital, discrete, analog. A binary modulator and resources for processing the different types of input signals are provided. A programmable digital matrix switch for input signals is used to route the input signals to the resources corresponding to the types of the signals. Alternatively, or additionally, the card includes an output signal modulator and an output signal programmable digital matrix switch used to route the modulated output signals to an amplifier as a function of their type. The programmable digital matrix switches make it possible to address constraints regarding the segregation of varying numbers of input/output signals of different types.

Abstract: The invention is directed to polymerizable vinyl compounds having halogenated aromatic groups and to a method of synthesizing such compounds. In particular, the invention is directed to polymerizable aromatic vinyl compounds wherein, except for the vinylic hydrogen atoms, aromatic C—H bonds are replaced by C—X bonds, where X is a halogen or other selected substituent having a de minimus number, if any, of C—H bonds; for example, without limitation, highly fluorinated fluoroalkanes. In addition, the compounds of the invention have a de minimus number, if any, of N—H and O—H bonds.
