Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de simulation stochastique efficace de systèmes dynamiques. Comme des solutions analytiques ne peuvent généralement pas être trouvées pour des équations différentielles stochastiques, une analyse complète exige des simulations numériques. Ces simulations sont plus communément effectuées au moyen d'un algorithme de type Euler de premier ordre. L'efficacité de ces algorithmes est améliorée par l'élimination de boucles algébriques dans la simulation. Une boucle algébrique se produit lorsqu'une variable d'un signal de sortie du système d'équations est également dans une variable d'un signal d'entrée d'une ou de plusieurs équations qui décrivent le système. Dans un mode de réalisation, les boucles algébriques sont éliminées par formulation d'une simulation selon laquelle une variable d'un signal de sortie qui produit une boucle algébrique est intégrée afin de produire un signal de sortie intégré. Ce signal de sortie intégré est ensuite fourni à un différentiateur afin de reconstruire la variable du signal de sortie de manière désirée.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting surroundings by means of an automotive night vision system comprising several areas, including a detection area (3) in which surroundings-related data is detected, an evaluation area within which the surroundings-related data detected by means of the night vision system is evaluated, and an area of representation in which information about the surroundings-related data detected therein is represented to the driver by means of an optical display unit. All previous commercially available night vision systems are configured so as to be able to display objects at the greatest possible distance. However, said systems involve the great risk of leading the driver into driving faster than would be possible without the night vision system in situations where visibility is poor or in the dark. The area of representation is therefore restricted in the inventive method for detecting surroundings such that the area of representation comprises no more than the high beam area (2). The driver is shown only the surroundings-related data which he/she would see anyway when actuating the conventional high beam due to the fact that the area of representation is restricted.

Abstract: Ce mécanisme de support pour poignée est conçu pour équiper une serrure de porte, de préférence l'extérieur d'une serrure à mortaise, ayant deux poignées (50, 52) ramenées à leur position initiale par un ressort commun de rappel (62) après utilisation d'une des poignées (50, 52). Ce mécanisme de support évite que la poignée inutilisée ne tombe ou ne tourne lorsque le ressort commun de rappel (62) est comprimé au moment où l'on tourne la poignée opposée. Ce mécanisme de support comporte deux disques de frottement (12, 14) encastrés entre l'extérieur de la serrure à mortaise et les branches (16, 18) d'une patte de fixation de ressort en forme de U (10). Cette patte de fixation (10) exerce une pression vers l'intérieur afin d'éviter qu'un disque de frottement 14, 16) et la poignée correspondante (50, 52) ne tournent lorsque l'on se sert de l'autre poignée. Ce mécanisme de support de poignée, qui permet d'améliorer l'apparence visuelle, convient parfaitement à des installations rénovées, à des boutons de poignée et à des serrures à mortaise comportant des capteurs de contact indépendants sur les deux poignées, donnant des indications à un système de contrôle lorsqu'une poignée est tournée pour ouvrir une porte sous surveillance.
