Abstract: The method involves emitting a location signal (SL) in a form of acoustic location waves (OL) from a reference object (1). The reception of the waves is realized by reception antennas (61, 62) arranged on the reference object to transform the waves into received reflective signals (SRR1, SRR2). Analysis treatment for the reflective signals is performed to operate the segregation between the waves following a direct path and parasite waves following an indirect path. The shortest propagation time is deducted corresponding to the waves having a path without parasite reflection. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for locating an object to-be-located with respect to a reference frame related to a reference object (2) an aircraft for implementing a object locating method.

Abstract: The equipment to enable safe road crossing consists of a signalling device including an arm which the pedestrian (26) controls using a rod before entering the crossing, to signal that the passing cars should stop. 
Preferably, the signalling device is deactivated by the releasing of the rod after the car stops, which - together with a sign providing the instructions for the use of the signalling device (37) situated on the signalling device post (7) - is a guarantee that the pedestrian will not enter the road before the cars stop, which will help prevent accidents. 
Preferably, the signalling device consists of a disk with a stop sign, and can be motor operated using a button. 
Another preference is the design of the signalling device with a signal light or a beacon. This will help speed up traffic because compared with standard traffic lights, cars are only stopped while pedestrians cross the road and not by the traffic light signalization. This is possible in the described signalling where according to the existing regulations cars are not obliged to permanently stop, such as beacons or flashing lights. 
Preferably it is possible to use a signalling device with rotary blades, which turns by 180 degrees to signals: stop, in order to give way to pedestrians. 
Signalling devices with single-colour lights may indicate the situation at the crossing using different flashing speeds, which can also be provided by multi-colour flashing signalling devices. 
For all types oft the described signalling devices, cars are only stopped if there is a pedestrian ready to cross the road, irrespective of the signalling scheme; this will help speed up the operation because cars only stop to enable pedestrians cross the road and they do not need to wait until the signalling device allows them to continue in their journey The signalling devices can also be activated by a motion sensor, a walkway switch, or an electronic detector of a pedestrian in a mat (24).

Abstract: Many computing device may now include two or more graphics subsystems. The multiple graphics subsystems may have different abilities, and may, for example, consume differing amount of electrical power, with one subsystem consuming more average power than the others. The higher power consuming graphics subsystem may be coupled to the device and used instead of, or in addition to, the lower power consuming graphics subsystem, resulting in higher performance or additional capabilities, but increased overall power consumption. By transitioning from the use of the higher power consuming graphics subsystem to the lower power consuming graphics subsystem, while placing the higher power consuming graphics subsystem in a lower power consumption mode, overall power consumption is reduced.
