Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooktop provided with a safety virtual barrier activated to prevent users from involuntarily touching the hot plates that are turned off, but still have a very high temperature. In fact, when the user stretches his/her hand out towards the centre of the cooktop, he/she generates an interference with the virtual barrier. This results in the immediate automatic activation of an audible and/or visible signal to warn the user of the possible dangerous contact with the hot plates. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of estimating a position of nib of a pen relative to an optical sensor removably mounted on the pen. The optical sensor captures at least two images of a coded surface when the nib contacts the coded surface. The images are captured with the nib at a same position on the coded surface and the pen at different orientations relative to the coded surface. From a perspective distortion of the coded surface in each image, an estimated rotation and viewing distance for each image are estimated, and from the estimated rotations and viewing distances, the position of the nib relative to the optical sensor is estimated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closing device (10) with a rotor (11) which has a cylindrical periphery (17) and which accommodates spring-loaded locking mechanisms on one side. With a closing device of this type, a pivoting tilting moment of the locking mechanisms may occur. A stator (21) for rotationally mounting the rotor (11) has a blocking channel (22) which is delimited by two flanks (23, 24) and into which the end of the spring-loaded locking mechanisms moves when the key is withdrawn, hereby preventing the rotor (11) from turning. The aim of the invention is to render the device more secure against break-in attempts by picking. To this end, there is a widened channel section (40) in the stator (21) on the flank (23) of the blocking channel (22) that is oriented in the direction of the tilting movement (25). When the rotor (11) is moved into a rotation position in the direction of the tilting direction of the locking mechanism following manipulation, the locking mechanism rests on an inwardly pointing support surface provided inside the widened channel section (40) with its end. The locking mechanism therefore projects beyond the periphery of the rotor (11), hereby intercepting any rotation of the rotor (11) back (26) in the opposite direction of rotation from the other flank (24) of the blocking channel (22), resulting from further manipulation.

Abstract: A control pedal (10) assembly for a motor vehicle includes a support structure, a pedal arm (14) pivotally mounted to the support structure and carrying a pedal (26), and a sensor (20) for detecting rotation of the pedal arm and sending an electrical signal to a control device indicating the rotation of the pedal arm. The pedal assembly also includes a hysteresis device (25) adapted to generate a desired feel in response to pivotal movement of the pedal arm. The hysteresis device is secured to the support structure and includes a plunger (18) engaging the pedal arm and is movable within a chamber (28) between an extended position and a depressed position upon rotation of the pedal arm. A pair of coaxial compression springs (32,34) resiliently bias the plunger to the extended position. The chamber forms a first friction surface and the plunger has a plurality of prongs (50) forming a second friction surface engagable with the first friction surface to resist pivotal movement of the pedal arm. Friction between the first and second friction surfaces, that is resistance to movement of the plunger, increases as the plunger moves from the extended position toward the depressed position. Variable friction is obtained because the prongs form angled surfaces engaging the spring for wedging the prongs in a radially outward direction to engage the first and second friction surfaces together with increasing force as the springs are compressed. <IMAGE>
