Abstract: Selon l'invention, dans un dispositif de commande d'une transmission automatique d'un véhicule, si une étape à basse vitesse (L) dure de façon continue pendant une durée prédéterminée (S1), la ligne de passage à la vitesse supérieure est modifiée à des fins d'évacuation d'air (S2), de façon que la probabilité de passage à une étape à haute vitesse (H) sur une route ordinaire soit plus élevée. Lorsque l'évaluation d'un passage à une étape à haute vitesse (H) est établie, la pression de l'huile est effectuée pour actionner le premier frein (B1), de façon que l'air présent dans le circuit hydraulique du premier frein (B1) qui est rarement utilisé sur des routes ordinaires soit évacué. Cette opération permet d'évacuer l'air introduit dans le circuit hydraulique sans que la réponse à une opération de commande du véhicule ou que la production de traînée dans des dispositifs d'actionnement par friction ne soient affectées.

Abstract: The sensor portion of the bill discrimination device has a variable inductance portion whose inductance changes depending on thickness of the bill and the magnetic ink amount, and an output signal generator for generating an output signal depending on the inductance of the variable inductance portion. The variable inductance portion includes a contact member which may have magnetostrictive behavior, and a coil portion disposed about the perimeter thereof. The contact member is positioned so as to be subjected to pressing force of a spring via an auxiliary roller. When the pressing force received from the spring changes depending on the thickness of a currency bill, the magnetic permeability of the contact member will change and the inductance of the variable inductance portion will change. At the same time, the inductance of the variable inductance portion will also change depending on the magnetic charge of the currency bill.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de dépollution de signaux pour un antibrouillage centralisé. L'invention permet de fournir autant de voies d'antennes dépolluées que de sous-réseaux avec des besoins en calcul limités. Le procédé se déroule en deux étapes. Dans un premier temps, une matrice d'antibrouillage (M) est calculée. Cette matrice dépend de la matrice de covariance de bruit (Γ), d'un vecteur pondérateur (wr) représentant la forme du diagramme d'antenne souhaitée à la réception en environnement non brouillé, et de contraintes (C, f) de préservation de la forme de ce diagramme d'antenne. Dans un second temps, les signaux (xi) issus des sous-réseaux d'antennes subissent une recombinaison linéaire opérée par la matrice d'antibrouillage (M). Le procédé d'antibrouillage est dit centralisé car les données nécessaires au traitement d'antibrouillage sont concentrées dans la seule matrice de d'antibrouillage (M). L'invention s'applique notamment aux systèmes radars, notamment aux systèmes radars aéroportés.

Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire, which is improved in its performance especially on ice and snow and which is simple in its constitution. The pneumatic tire (10) has a two-belt structure, in which a width of a first belt (1W) is larger than a width of a second belt (2W) and in which the width of the second belt (2W) is within a range of 80 to 95 % of a tread width (TW). This constitution reduces the belt width of the second belts (14U) formed as a cross belt layer. Thus, even though the first belt (14L) has an enough width, the belt tension at the belt portion where the cross belt layer does not exist is reduced. Therefore, a leading angle of the tire outer surface in the vicinity of the ground-contact end of the tire becomes smaller. This suppress intakes of water slightly produced due to the ground contact of the tire into the ground contacting plane, thereby making it possible to improve the tire performances such as the driving performance and the breaking performance.

Abstract: A method is described for operation of a wave soldering system which has a solder bath (1) filled with a lead-free solder (3), and during operation generates a solder wave (7) with which assemblies (9) passed in sequence over the solder wave (7) are soldered, with which the operating time of the system between two changes of the bath necessitated due to an enrichment of lead-containing impurities in the solder bath (1), can be increased significantly, in which perfluoric polyether (19) is added to the solder of the solder wave (7) flowing back into the solder bath (1), which has a boiling point above the solder temperature of the lead-free solder (3).

Abstract: A method of masking the end-of-life transition of a microprocessor electronic device including reprogrammable non-volatile memory containing an end-of-life state variable. On booting, the value of the variable is loaded into RAM. After executing any current command, it is verified whether the value of the variable stored in RAM is FALSE. If the response is negative, the end-of-life transition is executed. Otherwise, initialization or execution of the command is continued. On detecting an intrusive attack, it is instantiated by writing the TRUE value to the end-of-life state variable in RAM only and then deferring writing of the TRUE value to the variable in the non-volatile memory until the next write operation. The invention is applicable to any electronic device, smart card, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, device and computer-program product for suppression of undesired temporal variations, notably flicker, in a sequence of video frames. Histogram-based and similar approaches generally do not remove all flicker. Features that are resolved only in portions of the flicker cycle will manifest themselves as residual flicker. This effect is near-universal in bright regions of a scene. The inventive solution is a mapping that aims to resolve in the output only those features that are resolved in all frames of the flicker cycle. Use of time-maximal quantile values may preserve non-resolution of such image features that are unresolved due to intermittent bright saturation. Thus, in one embodiment, a reduction of resolution is attained by means of a pixel-value mapping based on selecting, over a time window, maximal and minimal quantile values, with maximal values being used for bright spatial regions and minimal values for dark spatial regions.
