  • Patent number: 11817658
    Abstract: Electrical equipment includes an internal antenna, an external connector, a first radio module, a second radio module, an RF link enabling the second radio module to be connected to the external connector, a detector device arranged, when a test signal is transmitted over the external connector via the RF link, to produce a detection signal representative of whether or not the external antenna is connected to the external connector; and control means arranged to control the second radio module so that it generates and transmits the test signal via the RF link, to acquire the detection signal, and depending on the detection signal, to connect or disconnect the first radio module to or from the external connector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10665527
    Abstract: Removing device including: a heat exchanger that is mounted on a platen so that the exchanger lies above and a distance away from an electronic component; a chassis that lies between the electronic component and the platen, and device for fastening the chassis to the platen or to the electronic board; a rigid heat sink that is mounted on the chassis in order to slide perpendicularly to the electronic board and that has a first end making contact with the component and a second end in abutment against a thermally conductive layer that is fastened to the platen in order to elastically return the rigid heat sink into abutment against the electronic component whatever the thickness of the electronic component. Electronic equipment having such a removing device.

  • Patent number: 10396450
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic apparatus including at least one electronic board provided with an external coupling connector and a radio transmission device comprising at least one antenna tuned to a predetermined frequency, the connector having a metal casing connected to an earth of the electronic apparatus. At least one metal tab is attached to the metal casing of the connector in order to project laterally from the casing so as to attenuate, in the vicinity of the antenna, a spurious electromagnetic field produced by the connector during operation, the tab having a length suitable for resonating at the predetermined frequency.
