  • Patent number: 10206204
    Abstract: A communications system is for an aircraft carrying at least some personnel having PEDs, and the communications system may include a ground-based communications network, and a satellite-based communications network. The system may include at least one access point in the aircraft for providing a wireless local area network (WLAN) within the aircraft to receive a web content request from a given PED and transmit corresponding web content to the given PED. An air-to-ground communications device in the aircraft may cooperate with the at least one access point for sending the web content request to the ground-based communications network defining a return link. Further, a satellite communications device in the aircraft may cooperate with the at least one access point for receiving the corresponding web content from the satellite-based communications network defining a forward link.

  • Patent number: 9092100
    Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of touchscreen devices with projected capacitive detection comprising a matrix-form touch pad comprising conductive rows and columns, said pad being linked to control means and electronic reception and analysis means. The control means generate, for each conductive row and column, a first periodic emission voltage emitted at a first working frequency and a second periodic emission voltage emitted at a second discrimination frequency, different from the first frequency. The electronic reception and analysis means are arranged so as to determine, for each row and for each column, the impedance of a first reception voltage at the working frequency and the impedance of a second reception voltage at the discrimination frequency. According to predetermined values, the values of the two impedances are representative of a touch on the touch pad and its location on the row or on the column concerned.

  • Patent number: 7330603
    Abstract: The invention relates to electronic image capture by an image sensor divided into several zones. To compensate for the inevitable differences between processing pathways arising from the various zones, there is provided a digital correction table inserted into one of the processing pathways. This table stores a corrected level for each level of image signal, the corrected level compensating for the difference with the other processing pathway for this signal level. The content of the table is update dynamically on the basis of observation of the actual images viewed by the sensor. A convergent algorithm is described, making it possible to correct the whole table on the basis of the observation of two border points, then to redo corrections on the whole table on the basis of the analysis of other border points of the same image or of subsequent images.
