Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de freinage électronique destiné à un véhicule, dans lequel la commande des freins du véhicule s'effectue au moyen de signaux de commande électronique émis par une pédale de frein en réponse à la demande de freinage d'un conducteur et au moyen d'un contrôleur électronique permettant de régler la distribution d'un fluide sous pression depuis une source d'énergie jusqu'aux freins en fonction de signaux électroniques correspondant à la demande du conducteur, ledit système permettant d'élever la pression de freinage jusqu'à un premier niveau prédéterminé (montée en flèche) pour un niveau prescrit de course initiale de la pédale de freinage, et de relâcher la pression de freinage (montée en flèche inverse) pour un second niveau prédéterminé, inférieur à celui du niveau de la montée en flèche. Le niveau de montée en flèche de la pression de freinage peut être fixé de manière qu'il varie en fonction de la vitesse du véhicule. Dans certains cas, les freins sont conçus de manière qu'ils subissent un préremplissage à basse pression au début de la course de la pédale et qu'ils sont ensuite maintenus à ce niveau peu élevé jusqu'au déclenchement de la montée en flèche, moment où la pression de freinage est alors augmentée jusqu'au niveau de montée en flèche. Dans d'autres cas où la montée en flèche n'est pas nécessairement utilisée, la pression de préremplissage est maintenue à ce niveau jusqu'à ce que la demande de freinage réelle dépasse la pression de préremplissage, auquel cas la pression de freinage est alors réglée en fonction de la demande de freinage réelle.

Abstract: An offline payment method includes communicating a commitment value calculated by an electronic check medium to a terminal configured to receive a payment from the electronic check medium. The commitment value is calculated based on a first authentication code and secret key, wherein the first authentication code is calculated based on a payment amount and secret verification key. The terminal determines and communicates a random/pseudo-random guesstimation to the electronic check medium in response to receiving the verification code, the random/pseudo-random guesstimation being configured to verify that the electronic check medium is authentic. The electronic check medium determines and communicates a second authentication code to the terminal, the second authentication based upon the random/pseudo-random guesstimation. The terminal compares the second authentication with the random/pseudo-random guesstimation to verify the second authentication and accepts payment from the electronic check medium when the second authentication is verified.
