  • Patent number: 10946875
    Abstract: A method is intended to assist the driver of a vehicle (VA) capable of being driven in an automated manner and in a manual manner, by means of a steering wheel (VV), in a traffic lane (VC1). This method comprises a step that involves determining an optimum trajectory of the vehicle (VA) in the event of automated driving, an actual current trajectory of the vehicle (VA) in the traffic lane (VC1), and a value of a parameter representative of a manual intervention being carried out by the driver on the steering wheel (VV), and representing these determined optimum and actual current trajectories on a medium (EA) with an aspect that depends on this determined value of the parameter.

  • Patent number: 10320575
    Abstract: The invention relates to a message exchange controller structure (1) comprising means (3) forming a message exchange controller, associated with a member (4) forming a storage/exchange buffer, a member (5) forming interfaces for multiple connections to several message production/consumption units, and a member (6) forming interfaces for connecting to several external buses; which is characterized in that the means exchange controller-forming means (3) are able to recover redundant messages from external buses, store those messages in the storage/exchange buffer-forming member (4), recover those messages from the storage/exchange buffer-forming member (4), and process those messages so as to generate a resultant message (MF), to send it to at least one consumption unit.

  • Patent number: 9774472
    Abstract: This transmission network for transmitting information, of the type comprising at least two associated loops (2, 3) for transmitting information, in each of which functional nodes (4, 5) are integrated, each comprising at least one distribution module for distributing messages (6, 7) between the input and output ports of the node and at least one network interface module (8, 9) associated with this distribution module, is characterized in that the network interface modules (8, 9) of at least certain of the nodes of at least one of the loops (2, 3) are connected to the distribution modules (6, 7) for distributing the nodes of at least one other loop.

  • Patent number: 6053890
    Abstract: A needleless jet injection device including a barrel fitted with a cap at one of the ends thereof. Relative motion of the cap component actuates a setting device operably connected to a precussive member. A cartridge arranged at the other end of the barrel comprises two elements, i.e., a first element forming a container for the active principle, and a second element consisting of a plastic shell enclosing the first element.

  • Patent number: 5879327
    Abstract: Needleless jet-injection device, characterized in that it consists of a body (1) having at one of its ends (4, 5) a cap (3), which, thanks to a relative movement between these elements, may drive a loading mechanism (2), co-operating with an impact component (17) which has to strike the piston of a cartridge (28) which is made of a material that does not pollute the environment and which contains the active product to be injected, this cartridge (28) being moreover placed at the other end of the said magazine-less body (1) and in the axis of said impact component (17), for single use.

  • Patent number: 5842688
    Abstract: An arrangement for damping movement of a mass with respect to a support to which the mass is connected by a suspension device. The suspension device is provided with one or more springs and a hydraulic damping system through which a hydraulic fluid flows. One or more devices are present for wire-drawing this fluid through a respective aperture. Each wire-drawing device is arranged to continuously vary the damping characteristics by controlling the extent of opening of the aperture(s) and thus regulate the flow of the fluid through the hydraulic damping system.
