Abstract: The invention concerns a layered structure comprising at least two material layers. The layered structure is formed of a conductive polymer on a substrate material layer to allow a reaction in the conductive polymer material when the layered structure is exposed to the surrounding conditions. The invention also concerns a method for producing layered structure. In the method the conductive polymer material is applied on the substrate material by printing or spraying or stamping or casting or spin coating or by using photolithographic or laser ablation method or a combination of these. The invention further concerns a sensor comprising an electric device short circuited by the conductive polymer of the layered structure. In the sensor a change in the conductive polymer initiates a change in the function of the electric device.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant l'estimation de la position du champ de vision d'un dispositif d'imagerie tel qu'une caméra, par rapport à une carte de circuit imprimé, ledit procédé faisant intervenir la désignation de marques sur la carte de circuit imprimé en tant que références et la détection du décalage dans ces marques de référence à l'intérieur du champ de vision de la caméra en comparaison avec une position connue à l'intérieur de celui-ci. Ces marques de référence sont sélectionnées de sorte que leur détection fait intervenir l'analyse uniquement d'un sous-ensemble de l'image produite par le dispositif d'imagerie. La sélection d'un groupe d'une ou plusieurs marques pour servir de référence fait intervenir la détermination de la zone d'image (fenêtre d'erreur) dans laquelle la/les marque(s) de référence est/sont susceptible(s) d'apparaître, étant donné l'erreur de position maximale du dispositif d'imagerie. Il y a également vérification (étape T4) que la totalité de la fenêtre d'erreur se trouve à l'intérieur du champ utile de vision du dispositif d'imagerie et que, à l'intérieur de le fenêtre d'erreur, aucun autre groupe de marques susceptible d'être confondu avec le groupe de marques sélectionné n'apparaît (étape T5). La détection du groupe de marques de référence fait intervenir la production d'un profil d'image le long d'une ligne passant par le centre de la fenêtre d'erreur et trouvant la meilleure correspondance entre les marques le long de ce profil et les marques dans la groupe de référence.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve mechanism for an internal combustion engine, comprising at least two inlet and/or outlet valves (EV1, EV2, AV1, AV2) per cylinder which can be activated by the inlet and/or outlet camshaft (8); in addition to lift transmission elements (4) which are arranged between the camshafts (6,7) of the inlet and/or outlet camshaft, and means for altering the valve lift of the inlet and/or outlet valves. At least two inlet valves and/or two outlet valves per cylinder cooperate with at least two partial cams (24, 25, 26) having two different lift curves, and the lift transmission elements (4) of the gas exchange valves are provided with at least two lift elements (22, 23) which respectively cooperate with the partial cams (24, 25, 26) and with the hydraulic supply lines for switching purposes. According to the invention, the supply lines (34, 44) for switching  a first inlet or outlet valve (EV1, AV2) are separate from the supply lines (40, 48) for switching a second inlet or outlet valve (EV2, AV2), whereby a first inlet or outlet valve (EV1, AV1) can be switched independently from the second inlet or outlet valve (EV2, AV2).
