  • Publication number: 20140266505
    Abstract: An EMC filtering device comprises a printed circuit comprising at least two parallel layers of a high-permittivity material, which are positioned between two layers of an insulating material that are parallel to one another and to the high-permittivity material layers. A core made of a magnetic material comprises three cylindrical arms passing perpendicularly through the high-permittivity and insulating material layers. At least two windings winding around the first arm of the magnetic material core, the windings and the first arm forming a first coil. At least two windings winding around the second arm of the magnetic material core, the windings and the second arm forming a second coil. The two coils being coupled coils.

  • Publication number: 20130342846
    Abstract: Device and method for the nondestructive testing of a part made of a composite material reinforced with fibers, the device including: a) an energizing laser beam generator and elements for producing a photoelastic stress pattern of the surface of the part, in an energizing area, using the laser beam; b) elements for generating a first detection laser beam capable of illuminating the part in a target area; c) elements for generating a second reference detection laser beam, whose characteristics can be controlled independently of those of the detection laser beam; d) a two-wave photoreactive detector including a photorefractive crystal pumped by the reference laser beam; e) elements for collecting the beam reflected by the target area of the first detection laser and conveying the beam into the photorefractive detector; and f) elements for modifying the characteristics of the reference laser so as to adjust the bandwidth of the photorefractive detector.

  • Publication number: 20130216767
    Abstract: In order to produce a part (16) from a composite material, which is conductive at least on one of the surfaces thereof, the method consists of: the conductive overstitching (30) of a preform (20) of the part using electrically or thermally conductive threads (31, 32) with substantially parallel stitch lines (34) oriented in at least two intersecting directions. The parts obtained are adapted for the production of aircraft structures that may be subjected to lightning strikes and allow return currents from the electrical or electronic aircraft equipment and/or the discharge of heat by conduction.

  • Publication number: 20130099774
    Abstract: A method for characterizing the sensitivity of an electronic component with respect to a natural radiating environment. The safe operating area (SOA) voltage range beyond which destructive events occur is determined for the electronic component for given characteristics of a particle or incident beam. The electronic component is turned on and energized with the particle or incident beam having the given characteristics under the operating conditions that are close to the highest voltage value of the determined SOA voltage range. An efficient section of amplified transient events, which corresponds to an estimation of the destructive occurrences for the electronic component is determined. The characteristics of the particle or beam is modified and the method is repeated with the modified characteristics.
