Abstract: A method and user equipment to select an emission power from a set of possible emission powers depending on their location relative to a base station. In a 5G development scenario, a massive number of user equipment will be deployed. The data exchanged by this user equipment is mainly signalling data whose volume generates an overload of the network resources. A resource access scheme called uncoordinated resource access scheme reduces the volume of the exchanged data. So that the base station can decode all signals emitted by the user equipment, it is necessary to have a number of emission power levels greater than the number of user equipment. By proposing the user equipment to select an emission power from a set of possible emission powers depending on their location relative to the base station, the solution allows the base station to decode the signals emitted by a greater number of user equipment.

The method includes: transmitting, by the first active antenna, a signal conveying pilot symbols associated with the first active antenna, and during which the second passive antenna is set to a transparency impedance to obtain a level of signal backscattered by the second passive antenna less than a first threshold; and transmitting by the first active antenna a signal conveying pilot symbols associated with the second passive antenna, and during which the second passive antenna is set to a scattering impedance to obtain a level of signal backscattered by the second passive antenna greater than a second threshold greater than the first threshold.

Abstract: A technique for remote administration of a device to be administered. A relay device receives a request to activate a filter for administration of the device to be administered from a referring administration server. This activation request includes information relating to rights assigned to a third-party administration server for delegating the administration of the device to be administered. The relay device then applies a filter to a message received from the third-party administration server intended for the device to be administered, the message received from the third-party administration server being filtered by the filter when it does not comply with the rights assigned to the third-party administration server.

Abstract: A method for recovering a network key, a method for transmitting a network key, and a method for managing recovery of a network key. The method for recovering a network key from a point of access to a network is implemented by a terminal, with the network key allowing the terminal to be associated with the point of access during the first connection of the terminal to the point of access. The recovery method includes receiving, by a terminal, a network key transmitted via a mediation server by a point of access, the terminal having been identified by the mediation server by using an association, prior to the first connection, of an identifier of the terminal and an identifier of the point of access. Thus, the key cannot be easily recovered by a third party and limits intrusions into the private network managed by the point of access.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for efficient 3D printing using a single compact device are set forth. Some embodiments utilize a circular-shaped build area revolving symmetrically around a single center point utilizing a continuous helical printing process. Laser diodes or vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are utilized as an energy source for curing the print material. The VCSELs can be integrated with the print head and can form an array which can be staggered or linear. In some embodiments, the VCSELs (and the corresponding print head) can be connected to a rotating platform, which can rotate independently from the revolving build area. In some embodiments, a thermoelectric cooler and/or a fluid cooler can provide cooling to the VCSELS.

Abstract: A method for decoding a data stream representative of an image split into blocks. For a current block of the image, an item of information indicating a coding mode among a first and a second coding mode of the current block is decoded from the data stream and the current block is decoded depending on this information. When the coding mode of the current block corresponds to the second coding mode, the current block is reconstructed from a prediction obtained, for each pixel, from another previously decoded pixel belonging to the current block or to a previously decoded block of the image, and from a decoded residue associated with the pixel. At least one processing method is applied to the reconstructed current block for at least one pixel of the current block depending on the coding mode of the current block and/or the coding mode of the neighbouring blocks.
