Cyrille Menudier has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9819198
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electronic system including a radiative electromagnetic emitter for emitting an activation signal including sequentially an energy supply signal followed by an identification signal, the power of the energy supply signal being at least ten times greater than the power of the identification signal, further including an interface connected to an energy supply source; an electric load; a circuit for deactivating a placing of electric load on standby, including: a receiver including a reception interface, a rectifier configured to generate a DC activation voltage on the basis of an activation signal, a switch configured to selectively connect/disconnect to the load from the energy supply, an identification circuit configured to extract an identifier of the activation signal and configured to apply the activation voltage as closure control signal for turning off the switch if a match of the identifier is determined.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8149180
    Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves at a working frequency fT, that comprises a resonator with a filtering (49) coating that covers the major portion of the upper face of a reflector (22) located inside a cavity (36), the coating (40) being capable of removing all the electromagnetic waves having a frequency fT, and propagating in a direction parallel to the upper face of the reflector, without removing all the electromagnetic waves having a frequency fT and propagating in a direction perpendicular to the upper face of the reflector.
