| 20120062241 | DEVICE FOR PROTECTING A CONNECTOR AND A COMMUNICATIONS WIRE OF A MEMORY CARD READER - A device is provided for protecting an electronic payment terminal that includes an electronic printed circuit board and a casing. The device includes at least one capacitive detector in a volume formed by a first ground plane of the printed circuit and a second ground plane positioned on an internal surface of the casing, the at least one capacitive detector being configured to deliver a reference capacitance. A capacitive measurement microprocessor detects a variation of capacitance of the at least one capacitive detector. A transmitter transmits the variation when an absolute value of a difference between the reference capacitance and the measured capacitance exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120062252 | PROTECTION DEVICE, CORRESPONDING METHOD AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE PRODUCT - A device is provided for protecting an electronic payment terminal, which includes at least one printed circuit and one casing. The device includes at least one capacitive detector having a first part electrically connected to the printed circuit and a second part mounted within the casing of the electronic payment terminal without being electrically connected to the first part. The at least one capacitive detector is configured to deliver a reference capacitance when it is mounted in the electronic payment terminal. The device also includes a capacitive measurement microprocessor electrically connected to the at least one capacitive detector and configured to detect a variation in capacitance of the at least one capacitive detector. The device includes a transmitter for transmitting a piece of information representing the variation in capacitance when an absolute value of a difference between the measured capacitance and the reference capacitance exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120063046 | DEVICE FOR PROTECTING AN ELECTRONIC PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD - A device is provided for protecting an electronic printed circuit board, which includes at least two layers. The device includes on a layer, at least one conductive part uniformly spread on an insulator layer, the entirety comprising the conductive part and the insulator layer forming a capacitive support presenting a uniform electrical field. The capacitive support is placed roughly on the whole surface of one of the layers of the multi-layered electronic printed circuit board. The capacitive support is configured to deliver a reference capacitance. A capacitive measurement microprocessor detects a variation in capacitance. A transmitter is configured for transmitting a piece of information representing the variation in capacitance when an absolute value of a difference between the measured capacitance and the reference capacitance exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120065908 | PROTECTION DEVICE, CORRESPONDING METHOD AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAM - A device is provided for protecting an electronic payment terminal. The device includes at least one capacitive detector placed between a lower mechanical supporting element of a keypad of the terminal and an upper mechanical supporting element of the keypad of the terminal. The at least one detector is configured to deliver a reference capacitance. A capacitive measurement microprocessor is electrically connected to the at least one capacitive detector and configured to detect a variation of capacitance of the at least one capacitive measurement support. A transmitter is configured for transmitting a piece of information representing the capacitive variation, when an absolute value of a difference between the measured capacitance and the reference capacitance exceeds a predetermined threshold. The capacitive detector is conformed so that it extends between holes of the lower mechanical supporting element. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20110264354 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A STUCK VEHICLE ACCELERATOR AND REMEDIAL CONTROL - A control system for a vehicle includes an error detection module and a remedial control module. The error detection module detects whether an accelerator of the vehicle is stuck is based on vehicle speed, a position of the accelerator, and one of a pressure applied to a brake of the vehicle and a status of a parking brake of the vehicle. The remedial control module, when the accelerator is stuck, at least one of resets the position of the accelerator and decreases torque output of a powertrain system. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20110251766 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL - A control system for an automatic transmission coupled to an engine by a torque converter includes a torque module and a first clutch control module. The torque module determines an input torque to the transmission based on an output torque of the engine. The first clutch control module adjusts an acceleration of a turbine of the torque converter during a down shift of the transmission based on the input torque. The first clutch control module adjusts the acceleration of the turbine by adjusting a first pressure of fluid supplied to an off-going clutch of the transmission based on the input torque. The first clutch control module adjusts the first pressure based on a mathematical model that relates a torque capacity of the off-going clutch, the input torque, and the acceleration. A method is also provided. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110275479 | QUICK SKIP-AT-SYNC CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A control system includes a shift stage determination module and a clutch control module. The shift stage determination module determines a duration of a first power-on downshift when a second power-on downshift is requested, where a power-on downshift is a downshift of a transmission that occurs when an accelerator pedal is depressed. The clutch control module completes the first power-on downshift and selectively starts controlling the second power-on downshift before the first power-on downshift ends. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20120010046 | NEGATIVE TORQUE UPSHIFT OFFGOING CLUTCH CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A clutch control system for a vehicle includes a shift command module and an offgoing clutch control module. The shift command module commands an upshift of a clutch-to-clutch transmission when an engine torque is less than a predetermined negative torque. The offgoing clutch control module increases an offgoing clutch pressure above a predetermined apply pressure in response to the command. An offgoing clutch is fully engaged when the offgoing clutch pressure is greater than the predetermined apply pressure. | 01-12-2012 |
