  • Patent number: 9433012
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enabling radioelectric coexistence between two devices based on personal mobile radio or PMR technology, of which one is a narrow band device and the other is a broadband device, and each device interacts via a radioelectric link with respective base stations connected to a control unit for the radio resource of their respective networks, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: detection of the presence of a narrow band radioelectric emitter device in the vicinity of device, transmission of a message on the broadband network, addressed to the control unit, which message signals the presence of a possible narrow band emitter close to said device, and assignment by the control unit of new frequency blocks for uplinks, only in predefined allocated periods.

  • Patent number: 9391740
    Abstract: A method for demodulating a signal in a receiver including at least two antennas, each receiving a signal, the received signals corresponding to a single emitted signal including symbol frames in which certain symbols, referred to as driver symbols, are known to the receiver, the method including: noise whitening in order to form two combined signals, the noise components of which are separate; normalizing the noise components of the combined signals in order to form two signals, the noise components of which are separate and have equal average standards; and performing signal demodulation with the maximum combination of the signal-to-noise ratio on the two signals, the noise components of which are separate and which have equal average standards, wherein during the first noise-whitening step for forming the two combined signals, the latter are determined retroactively using the maximum criterion.

  • Patent number: 9310198
    Abstract: Target land area is three-dimensionally located using an optical sensor and a radar sensor in satellites. The positions of the satellites are measured and images are captured when the sensors point toward land areas. The aiming direction of the optical sensor for each area is measured. The distance between each area and the radar sensor pointing thereto is measured. Images of land areas captured by the sensors and covering common areas are matched. The distance between the target area selected from the common areas and the optical sensor is accurately determined on the basis of the positions of the sensors, the distance between the target area and the radar sensor, and the aiming direction of the optical sensor, which are associated with the images covering the target area.

  • Patent number: 9130715
    Abstract: In order to acquire first subbands in at least a central band of a broad frequency band, in which subbands frames are transmitted by a base station (BSBB) of a broadband network (RBB) which is co-located with a network (RNB) having narrow subbands comprised in the broadband, a mobile (MBBB) which does not know the distribution of the subbands correlates subsequences of a generated reference signal with subsequences which are respectively detected in the subbands and compares correlation coefficients against a threshold. By knowing the distribution of the first subbands, the mobile is able to process the signaling transmitted by the base station, in order to access allocated resources, after a synchronization phase.

  • Patent number: 9088060
    Abstract: For associating different technologies of a microstrip line and of a rectangular waveguide, for example on a ceramic, in a transition device including a mode transformer between the line integrated into a printed circuit board, and the waveguide, the board includes a housing containing the waveguide with a large sidewall coplanar and coaxial to the strip of the line and another large sidewall fixed onto a metallic layer of the board at the bottom of the housing. A linking metallic element bridges a mechanical tolerance gap between the transformer and one of the line and the waveguide. The transformer can be integrated into the board, or into the waveguide in a microwave component.

  • Patent number: 9015794
    Abstract: For supervising the security of a computer system (SY) comprising several elementary computer items (BI), such as machines and applications, and several gathering items (BIg), such as networks, services or sites, gathering elementary items, a supervision device (DS) collects base measurements (MB) representative of states of the elementary items. A unit (UDI) determines several security indicators (I) of different types for each elementary item according to respective functions of the base measurements and several security indicators of different types for each gathering item. Each security indicator of a given type of a gathering item is determined according to a respective function of the security indicators of the given type of the elementary items gathered in the gathering item. The indicators of one item relate to the availability, the intrusion, the vulnerability and the compliance to a security policy.
