Abstract: An electronic device comprises a casing, a hard disk, a housing on the casing of the electronic device intended to host the hard disk, and a stopper ensuring the holding of the hard disk in the housing. The stopper comprises a first fixation mechanism on a first end of the stopper to the casing of the electronic device, and a second fixation mechanism on a second end of the stopper to the casing of the electronic device. According to exemplary embodiments, the first fixation mechanism is a clip, the second fixation mechanism is a lock, and the stopper also comprises a hinge enabling the articulation of the stopper around its first end. According to another aspect of the invention, the device comprises a seal positioned on the stopper during the first assembly of the hard disk.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method and apparatus for determination of transmission quality of a communication link between a transmitter and a receiver. Among others, the invention allows to determine the transmission quality of a communication link between a transmitter and a receiver by a tier device, for example a transmission quality testing or monitoring device.

Abstract: A method for depositing a material by adsorption onto a substrate, includes a step of exposing the substrate to a precursor molecule in the gaseous phase. These precursor molecules present a non-zero dipole moment. An electrical field is applied during the substrate exposing step to cause a reactive branch of the precursor molecules to adsorb into the surface of the substrate in a manner such that the precursor molecules have essentially a same orientation. Next, the substrate is exposed to reagent molecules in the gaseous phase which react with the adsorbed precursor molecules so that organic branches of the adsorbed precursor molecules other than the reactive organic branch are replaced by elements of the reagent molecules. This process results in the formation of a monoatomic layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method of installing digital or analogue broadcasting channels of a frequency band, each channel being centred on a nominal frequency subject to drift or an offset. In this method, each channel is successively installed by searching for it within a nominal capture span centred on the said nominal frequency, the channels are sought as a function of installing at least one previous channel. Application to a digital or analogue receiving device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of installing a bouquet of digital broadcast programmes on the basis of transponders of different minimum symbol frequencies. The frequency band is traversed using a quantization interval corresponding to the minimum symbol frequency of a transponder of a first type (MCPC). If a transponder of the said first type is found, the characteristics of the various transponders of first or of second type which are referenced in the said signaling table are extracted from its signaling table and the services associated with the various transponders are installed. If no transponder of the said first type is found, the said frequency band is traversed using a quantization interval corresponding to the minimum symbol frequency of a transponder of a second type so as to search for at least one transponder of the said second type and the services of each transponder of the said second type are installed.
