Abstract: The invention relates to a current-compensating device able to be connected, in shunt configuration, between an electrical network and non-linear and linear electrical loads and downstream of at least one renewable-energy-generating power unit coupled to an energy-storing element, the compensating device including: a power converting unit including at least one voltage inverter able to generate an AC current; an output filtering unit, including one filter dimensioned to block the harmonic components due to the switching of the inverter; a control unit comprising a unit for computing reference currents and a switch driving device that controls the switching of the inverter as a function of the identification of the currents by the unit for computing the reference currents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an image numerical classifier, to automatically determine the visualization quality of endoscopy videocapsule images of segments of the digestive tract, comprising a step of acquiring a video in the digestive tract by a videocapsule; a step of extracting images from the video; a so-called “ground truth” step of clinically evaluating the visualization quality of the images based on medical criteria, a step of selecting an initial set of “adequate” visualization images and “inadequate” visualization images, a step of calculating at least one numerical parameter relating to at least one of the medical criteria, a statistical machine learning step to produce the numerical classifier.

Abstract: An encoder and a decoder employ an encoding scheme corresponding to a parity check matrix which is derivable from a bipartite protograph formed of variable nodes and check nodes, with each variable node corresponding to a codeword symbol position. The protograph has a plurality of groups of nodes, each group of nodes comprising both variable nodes and check nodes. Each of the check nodes in a group is of degree 2 and has connections to two variable nodes in the same group. The protograph also has a plurality of check nodes of degree n, where n is the number of said plurality of groups, wherein each of the plurality of check nodes has a connection to a variable node in each group such that the symbol positions in a codeword are interleaved between the groups of nodes.
