    Abstract: A motor vehicle vision system (10) includes a pair of imaging devices (12a, 12b) forming a stereo imaging apparatus (11) and a data processing apparatus (14) for rectification of images captured by the stereo imaging apparatus (11), matching of rectified images, and to detect an object in the surrounding of the motor vehicle. The data processing device (14) performs, for image elements (43) of a rectified image from one imaging device, a search for a best-matching image element (44′) in the corresponding rectified image from the other imaging device. The search yielding vertical shift information from which a vertical shift from the image element (43) to the best-matching image element (44′) is derivable. The data processing device (14) calculates a pitch angle error and/or a roll angle error of or between the imaging devices (12a, 12b) from the vertical shift information.

    Abstract: A vehicle radar system (3, 3′) and related method including a transceiver arrangement (7, 7′) that is arranged to generate and transmit at least a first radar signal over a cycle (4a) and a following second radar signal over a cycle (4b). For the first radar signal cycle (4a), a corresponding first received signal (5a) and corresponding first received signal information (20a, 28a) is obtained, and for a following second radar signal cycle (4b), a corresponding second received signal (5b) and corresponding second received signal information (20b, 28b) is obtained. The vehicle radar system (3, 3′) is arranged to calculate a difference between the first received signal information (20a, 28a) and the second received signal information (20b, 28b).

    Abstract: A circuit breaker includes at least one electrical conductor for connection to an electrical circuit, a housing, a die, a punch movable relative to the housing to pass from a first position to a second position, and a pyrotechnical actuator to make the punch pass from the first position to the second position when ignited. The punch passes from the first position to the second position to cut the at least one electrical conductor into at least two distinct parts, and establish between the punch and the die, at least one electrical arc between the at least two distinct parts when the circuit breaker is connected to a live electrical circuit. When the punch is in the second position, at least one passage is between the at least two distinct part guides the at least one electrical arc between the distinct parts. A punch die unit includes at least one material designed to be withdrawn by ablation by the at least one electrical arc for generating gas suitable for increasing a voltage of the at least one electrical arc.
