Abstract: A lamp to be introduced into an object is disclosed, in particular, for decontamination of the object, having a tube with first and second ends, two electrodes fixed in the tube at each of the ends thereof, and an electrical device for supplying the electrodes. The two electrodes have different lengths, one of short length and the other of great length, the electrode of great length extending over a tube length and having an electrode end bearing against the inner wall of the tube at a distance from the second tube end. The lamp also has at least one radial support element fitted around the tube length and having at least two peripheral contacts, on the tube, which are spaced apart from each other by a distance at least twice the diameter of the tube.

Abstract: Battery parts, such as battery terminals, and associated systems and methods for making the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a battery part includes a body having a base portion and a lug portion extending from the base portion. The battery part can further include a light-curable sealing material at least partially covering an exterior surface of the base portion. The sealing material is configured to seal an interface between the battery part and the material of a battery container when the base portion is embedded in the battery container material.

Abstract: An apparatus to insure safe behavior in an inverter system. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first high side gate driver, a first low side gate driver, a microcontroller configured to control the first high side and low side gate drivers. A voltage regulator provides a supply voltage to the microcontroller. A first pair of high side voltage regulators provide a first pair of high side supply voltages to the first high side gate driver. A first pair of low side voltage regulators provide a first pair of low side supply voltages to the first low side gate driver.

Abstract: A voltage matching circuit receives a first voltage received by a connector, and outputs a second voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage, if the first voltage is less than a threshold voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage divided by a first factor, if the first voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method to select a telecommunication network with a mobile equipment (10,20) comprising a mobile communication device (10) and a personal token (20), the method operating an algorithm (25) which selects at least one network to be operated by the mobile equipment among a plurality of available networks, wherein in the method, the algorithm is stored and run in the personal token (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of updating an authentication algorithm in at least one data processing device (CARD, SERV) which can store a subscriber identity (IMSI1) which is associated with an authentication algorithm (Algo1) in a memory element of said device (CARD, SERV). The inventive method comprises the following steps, namely: a step whereby a second inactive (Algo2) authentication algorithm is pre-stored in a memory element of the device and a step for switching from the first algorithm (Algo1) to the second algorithm (Algo2) which can inhibit the first algorithm (Algo1) and activate the second (Algo2).

Abstract: 1) A method for synchronizing databases (DB1, DB2), a first database (DB1) being stored in a first data processing system (MOB), a second database (DB2) being stored in a second data processing system (MNO), said method comprising: a. A loading step in which an application (APP) is loaded into said first data processing system (MOB); b. An execution step in which the application (APP) executes a command; c. A requesting step in which said command requests the first data processing system (MOB) to process a synchronization step, said command providing the first data processing system (MOB) with the information about the synchronization parameters to be used for synchronizing the content of the first (DB1) and the second (DB2) databases, said method being characterized in that said first data processing system (MOB) includes a security token (CAR) controlled by an operator (OP) and in that said application (APP) is loaded into said security token (CAR).
