Patent number: 9900081Abstract: A method and a system for dynamic allocation of power for a satellite access network comprises a step for acquisition of a signal representative of an instantaneous power available on board at least one satellite and of a signal representative of the data rate in each resource allocation manager for the satellite access network, a step for conversion, for each resource allocation manager, of the signal representative of the data rate in the resource allocation manager into a value corresponding to the power consumed on board the satellite in order to obtain this data rate, a step for calculating a total power margin equal to the difference between the power available on board the satellite and the sum of the powers consumed by each resource allocation manager, a power allocation step, the value of power allocated being a function of the calculated total power margin.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: THALESInventors: Pierre Tayrac, Olivier Courseille, Cyrille Yves Joël Blosse, Bruno Roger

Patent number: 9736844Abstract: A method of dynamic resource allocation for at least one satellite access network associated with at least one telecommunications satellite comprises a frequency-flexible payload, the at least one satellite access network comprises a plurality of resource allocation controllers. The method comprises the acquisition of the bandwidth desired by each resource allocation controller, reconfiguration of the payload of the at least one satellite considering the bandwidth desired by each resource allocation controller and the frequency resources available on board each satellite, and a step of frequency allocation to the various resource allocation controllers, considering the bandwidth desired by each resource allocation controller and the frequency resources available on board each satellite.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: THALESInventors: Pierre Tayrac, Olivier Courseille, Cyrille Yves Joël Blosse, Bruno Roger

Patent number: 8840022Abstract: A ballot tabulation device includes a scanner operable to obtain an image of at least a portion of a paper ballot that includes a voter response area. A processor applies a virtual template to the image to identify a center point for the voter response area. The virtual template comprises a set of characteristic points positioned in predetermined locations in relation to the center point of the voter response area, wherein the characteristic points comprise points that are common to a plurality of sample ballot images. The processor also defines a response window that is centered on the center point of the voter response area, and analyzes the response window to determine if the voter response area is marked by a voter.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Election Systems & Software, LLCInventors: Bruno Roger, Mike Dvorak
