    Abstract: A system for controlling power supply to a load from a power supply line including a first circuit, at least a second circuit, a control module, and a monitoring module. The first circuit includes a first path for supplying power to the load, and a first switching mechanism for controlling the supply of power through the first path. The second circuit includes a second path for supplying power to the load and a second switching mechanism for controlling the supply of power through the second path. The control module is configured to output control signals to control operations of the circuits to independently switch on or off each of the respective paths. The monitoring module is configured to monitor physical quantity parameters of the paths, to detect deviations of the physical quantity parameter values from respective reference values to check the consistency between the first and second path.

    Abstract: Control device for controlling a switch in a charging line disposed between a first power line and a second power line in a power distribution architecture. The control device includes a current level input for receiving a current measurement of the current conducted through the charging line, a voltage level input for receiving a voltage measurement of the voltage applied on the charging line. A monitor monitors the relationship between the current and voltage measurements and generates a control signal for controlling the switch in response to a coherent change in the current and voltage measurements exceeding a threshold. A control signal is not generated when a change in one of the current and voltage measurements exceeding a threshold is not associated with a coherent change in the other of the current and voltage measurements.

    Abstract: A vision system for a motor vehicle includes an optical image capture device configured to capture images of objects in its field of vision. A lighting device includes a plurality of lighting elements forming a lighting matrix configured to illuminate the field of vision of the optical device. A control device associated with the optical device and the lighting device is configured to determine the nature of each image of an object captured by the optical device. The control device is configured to locate the object, select the lighting elements of the lighting matrix capable of illuminating the object relative to the location of the object, and individually control at least one lighting characteristic of each selected lighting element so as to be able to determine the nature of the image of the object captured by the optical device.
