Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimating road-to-tire friction between
tires of a wheeled vehicle and a road surface, which vehicle is provided with
a collision avoidance system. The method involves the steps of:
     applying a positive torque to both wheels on a first axle and an equal and
opposite, negative torque to at least one wheel on a second axle;   measuring current values for vehicle speed, angular acceleration of the
wheel on the second axle and the negative torque applied to said wheel;   determining a current friction coefficient using a friction coefficient
determining means.   
     The invention further relates to a computer readable storage device having
stored therein data representing instructions executable by a computer to
perform an estimate of road-to-tire friction

section. The triode section (T) comprises a first (G1), second (G2) and third (G3) electrode,
the first electrode facing a cathode. The triode section is arranged such that in operation a

is formed in the line (x) direction. The first electrode (G1) has an elongated aperture facing
the cathode having an aspect ratio (y/x) between 0.35 and 0.60 (0.35≤y(G1)/x(G1)≤0.6). The
second electrode (G2) has an aperture facing the first electrode triode wherein x(G2A)<x(G1)
and y(G2A)>y(G1) and the dimension of the electron beam in the main lens portion in the
frame (y) direction is less than 1/2 of the dimension of the electron beam in the line (x)
direction (y(ML)/x((ML)≤0.5).

Abstract: The articulated joint, especially for a motor vehicle support (6), is made from an inner reinforcing member (2) and an elastomer element (7) moulded onto the support and includes a chemical/mechanical treatment stage of the inner member so that the elastomer element sticks or fastens to it.  The manufacturing process also includes a stage in which an outer polymer reinforcing member (4) is overmoulded onto the support and the inner member/elastomer element assembly. The inner assembly is made by a classical moulding operation, and the outer surface of the elastomer element can be coated with an adhesive to facilitate the fixing to the outer reinforcing member. Both inner and outer reinforcing members have a rigidity greater than that of the elastomer element, and the outer reinforcing member is made with two retaining collars (12) to improve its vertical immobility relative to the support.

Abstract: The invention provides an interface between a user of an electronic device and a
plurality of resources. The interface operates by procuring resource category and
network location information relating to the resources and conveying the resource
category information to the user in a manner whereby the resources are grouped
together in accordance with their category. The resources include: network resources,
which represent functional services; and input resources, which represent documents,
input data or the similar, wherein all resource types may be represented by a
corresponding network presence. The method further may include the step of
procuring resource description information relating to the resources and assessing the
compatibility of the resources with specified criteria and filtering the resources
category information such that information relating to non-compatible resources is not
conveyed to the user. The specified criteria relate to user requirements including the
users context and the characteristics of the electronic device. The invention also
provides a device configured to operate with such an interface and an interface
implementation itself.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de réfrigération à capacité variable, ne nécessitant pas de compresseur inverseur onéreux, et ne présentant pas de faiblesse d'efficacité d'énergie à haute capacité. Ce système fait appel à un compresseur à vitesse constante, fonctionnant de manière continue, lorsque le système est sous tension, quelle que soit la charge de chaleur, et à une trajectoire de déviation de réfrigérant comprenant un détendeur secondaire, un échangeur de chaleur, et un dispositif de commande de débit, pouvant fonctionner pour permettre à une partie du réfrigérant sortant du condenseur de s'écouler dans la trajectoire de déviation jusqu'à une sortie du compresseur, lorsque la charge de chaleur se trouve en dessous d'un seuil prédéterminé, l'échangeur de chaleur fonctionnant en tant qu'évaporateur secondaire ; et pour empêcher que le réfrigérant sortant du condenseur ne s'écoule dans la trajectoire de déviation, jusqu'à l'entrée du compresseur, lorsque la charge de chaleur ne se trouve pas en dessous du seuil prédéterminé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif de commande de débit peut également fonctionner pour permettre à une partie du réfrigérant sortant du compresseur de s'écouler par la trajectoire de déviation, jusqu'à l'évaporateur primaire, en passant par le détendeur primaire, lorsque la charge de chaleur ne se trouve pas en dessous du seuil prédéterminé, l'échangeur de chaleur fonctionnant en tant que condenseur secondaire. Dans plusieurs modes de réalisation, un différentiel de pression est maintenu entre le réfrigérant de l'échangeur de chaleur et celui de l'évaporateur. Ce différentiel de pression est ajusté par le biais d'un dispositif de génération de vide, notamment un générateur à vortex, un Venturi ou analogue, ou par le biais d'un réducteur de débit, notamment un tube capillaire. Dans plusieurs modes de réalisation, l'échangeur de chaleur est thermiquement couplé au compresseur pour supprimer la chaleur du réfrigérant, lors de son écoulement à travers le compresseur.
