  • Patent number: 8152977
    Abstract: The multichannel potentiostat comprises a reference terminal, a counter-electrode terminal, and at least two working terminals, respectively designed to be connected to a reference electrode, a counter-electrode and at least two working electrodes of an electrochemical cell. The potentiostat comprises first and second regulating circuits to apply a setpoint voltage respectively between the first and second working terminals and the reference terminal. The potentiostat comprises a control circuit of the counter-electrode voltage applied to the counter-electrode terminal. The control circuit comprises a first input terminal connected to a predefined potential and a second input terminal to which a regulating voltage representative of at least one of the voltages of the working terminals is applied.

  • Publication number: 20070078495
    Abstract: This invention relates to a cerebral electrostimulation device containing a commutation device (300) comprising at least one input and several outputs each connected to at least one biocompatible electrode or at least one active area (202) of a biocompatible electrode (200), the commutation device (300) being used to selectively connect at least one input to one or more outputs. This electrostimulation device may be used for methods of diagnostic or therapy for the treatment of some pathologies, for example such as epilepsy or Parkinson's disease.

  • Patent number: 5646410
    Abstract: System and method for validating the signal for detecting a measuring chain with a wide band of nuclear radiations.This system for validating the signal of a measuring chain of nuclear radiations (1), includes a detector (10) able to deliver a wide spectral band signal to at least one processing unit (12, 14) and is characterized in that the system (30) includes means (32) for copying the detection system so as to deliver a copy of this signal to a calculation unit (34), the calculation unit (34) being able to calculate measuring spectral information representative of the spectrum of the detection signal and compare this information with reference spectral information. The system and method are applicable to chains for counting in fluctuations or pluses.
