  • Patent number: 11681063
    Abstract: A multi-function acquisition device comprising a connector having two connection terminals, and an electronic circuit that comprises an acquisition circuit configured for enabling the digital conversion of analogic signals from a sensor, and the memorization of the digitized signals in a memory; a harvesting circuit configured for enabling the transmission of data stored in the memory to a harvesting device; a charging circuit configured for enabling the charging of a battery with the power provided by a powering device. A control unit controls the activation of the acquisition circuit, the activation of the harvesting circuit, and the activation of the charging circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2023
    Assignee: SERCEL

  • Patent number: 9588562
    Abstract: A method for waking up a distant device from a local device, through a transmission medium and distant and local media converters. Initially, at least one of the physical and link layer units of the distant device is off, and its processing layer unit is off or in Low Power mode. The transceiver of the distant media converter is on. When receiving an initial wake-up signal from the local device, the transceiver of the distant media converter generates an electrical wake-up signal converted from the initial wake-up signal. The transceiver of the distant media converter sends the electrical wake-up signal, or derived wake-up information, to the processing layer unit of the distant device, through a transmission line independent of the physical and link layer units of the distant device. When receiving the electrical wake-up signal or the wake-up information, the processing layer unit of the distant device turns on.
