20150048217 | DEVICE FOR MOUNTING A UNIT, NOTABLY A RADIO, IN A MOTOR VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPARTMENT - A device for mounting a unit including two parallel side faces on each of which there is a tenon, the device including two parallel lateral slideways formed in a compartment in an instrument panel of a vehicle and acting as a mortice oriented in a substantially longitudinal direction and including an entry zone and a closed-end zone that is not as tall as the entry zone. The tenon includes an elastically compressible part to push the tenon vertically into the closed end zone of its mortice as the tenon is introduced longitudinally into its corresponding mortice, and the tenon including a central part from which there extend two opposing symmetric arms each bearing two tabs turned back substantially parallel to the arms and forming symmetric longitudinal anchors, with respect to the central part and which are elastically compressible in the heightwise direction. | 02-19-2015 |
20120229100 | OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE-DRIVEN SOFT-START ALGORITHM - A soft-start charging method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus for controlling charging of at least one capacitor by obtaining a zero-crossing time, which is a time when a zero-crossing of a source voltage will occur; obtaining an advance time, which is an amount of time; and calculating a trigger time based on the advance time and the zero-crossing time. The method also includes triggering a switch to close at the calculated trigger time; charging the at least one capacitor with the source voltage with the closing of the switch for a charging time period; and opening the switch at the end of the charging time period. The steps of obtaining the zero-crossing time, the obtaining the advance time, the calculating, the triggering, the charging, and the opening are repeated until the at least one capacitor is fully charged. | 09-13-2012 |
20090284203 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN OPENING LEAF OF A VEHICLE WITH AN ANTI-TRAP FUNCTION - A method for controlling an opening leaf of a vehicle. The method detects whether a predetermined event is occurring in the absence of a predetermined situation likenable to a trapping incident and, if appropriate, lowers a function of detecting the situation likenable to a trapping incident. | 11-19-2009 |
