  • Patent number: 11978766
    Abstract: Three-dimensional capacitive structures may be produced by forming a capacitive stack conformally over pores in a region of porous anodic oxide. The porous anodic oxide region is provided on a stack of electrically-conductive layers including an anodization-resistant layer and an interconnection layer. In the pores there is a position having restricted diameter quite close to the pore bottom. In a first percentage of the pores in the region of anodic oxide, a functional portion of the capacitive stack is formed so as to extend into the pores no further than the restricted-diameter position. Cracks that may be present in the anodization-resistant layer have reduced effect on the properties of the capacitive structure. Increased thickness of the anodization-resistant layer can be tolerated, enabling equivalent series resistance of the overall capacitive structure to be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11977944
    Abstract: A method for interrogating an electronic identity card by a terminal with a claim covering an identity attribute of the holder of this card. The terminal obtains an identity token of the CNIe then selects in a HD wallet an issuer account associated to the identity attribute covered by the claim. Afterwards, it forms a transaction including as arguments the identity token and the path in the arborescence of the wallet leading to the issuer account, this transaction then being transmitted to a blockchain. Afterwards, it is verified by consensus that the terminal is habilitated to issue a claim covering an identity attribute, and that the issuing address of the transaction corresponds to the identity attribute on which the terminal is habilitated to issue a claim.

  • Publication number: 20240137956
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing radio resources in a cellular network. For each node of interest (Nj) of the network, a set (Vj(t)) of neighbouring nodes is determined. Each neighbouring node (Ni?Vj(t)) performs a local observation of its environment (oi(t,f)) and extracts thereform a plurality of radio characteristics, then encodes each of these radio characteristics in the form of a message (mi,jk(t,f)) which is transmitted to the node of interest. The node of interest then generates a local mapping (?jk(t,f)) of each radio characteristic by aggregating the messages encoding this characteristic. Afterwards, the different local mappings are fused using fusion parameters so as to provide a hybrid local mapping (?ja(t,f)) of the radio characteristics.
