A method for controlling a self-piloted alternator-starter for starting or restarting the thermal engine of an automobile. The silver halide photographic material of the invention may include a hydrophilic colloid layer containing a hydrophilic colloid, in addition to the surface protective layer. The semiconductor laser array is typically used as light source of an optical scanner for laser beam printers or copying machines. The magnetic resonance measurement is then implemented with the antenna control parameter set associated with the selected examination situation class.
