Abstract:
An electro-optical system capable of being embarked aboard mobile ground or flying units, to determine the optical flow generated by obstacles in relative motion with respect to the mobile unit. The system comprises radiation (5), receiver means (1) for converting the radiation reflected by the objects into electrical signals and means (8) for processing the signals generated by the receiver means. The receiver means (1) are based on vision sensors with matrix configuration. The emitter means (5, 6) shape the radiation beam in such a way that the radiation reflected by the objects and collected by the receiver means impacts at least on a part of the receiver matrix. The processing means compute the optical flow only on the elements of the receiver matrix that are impacted by the radiation.
Abstract:
A luminous display for automotive satellite navigation systems comprises a panel (10) equipped with light sources, for example made up of LEDs, arranged in a pre-ordered configuration of discrete segments (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8), which can be combined with one another according to paths corresponding to the representation of a plurality of encoded generally arrow-shaped pictograms (P1-P4), each of which indicates a respective direction to follow indicated by the navigation system. The path to follow is highlighted with respect to possible alternative paths represented by the pictograms.

Abstract:
The invention describes a microaircraft (2), which can be associated for instance to a cellular phone (1), provided with at least four microrotors (4) actuated with compressed fluid or by ring-shaped electric motors (7).
Abstract:
Bidimensional or three-dimensional, single-layer or multilayer nanostructure, whose electric conductivity B in the total structure has a highly non-linear behavior due to local tunnel effect between adjacent clusters, and it can be varied at will by varying the voltage applied to the electrodes.
