Abstract: An electronic circuit card and a corresponding data acquisition and generation system, including a conditioning circuit for conditioning input signals of at least two types chosen from the following types: digital, discrete, analog. A binary modulator and resources for processing the different types of input signals are provided. A programmable digital matrix switch for input signals is used to route the input signals to the resources corresponding to the types of the signals. Alternatively, or additionally, the card includes an output signal modulator and an output signal programmable digital matrix switch used to route the modulated output signals to an amplifier as a function of their type. The programmable digital matrix switches make it possible to address constraints regarding the segregation of varying numbers of input/output signals of different types.

Abstract: A cement composition for liquid casting, based on a binder comprising Portland cement and additives comprising at least a fluidizer and a combination of a thickening agent acting by steric exclusion and a gelling thickening agent. The composition can also include a surface active agent to regulate the quantity of entrained air. Mixed with water and an aggregate, it permits obtaining, in a single casting, a self-leveling casting of a high thickness (equal to at least 6 cm) and of low density (about 1.6 to 1.9).

Abstract: The surface deactivating composition for concrete or mortar comprising a retardant, water and if desired a rheology modifying agent of the HASE type (emulsion, soluble in alkali, of a polymer with hydrophobic modification), characterized in that the retardant is a carboxylic acid and in that the concentration of HASE is greater than or equal to 0.5% by weight. The process of application consists in applying this deactivating composition in proportions of the order of 0.25+0.05 liter per square meter of the surface, then washing with water this surface after a predetermined period.
