  • Patent number: 12161257
    Abstract: Provided is a food cooking surface for a cookware item or an electrical household cooking appliance, consisting of a deposit of nitride of metal elements on a substrate, the metal elements of the deposit comprising one or more X transition metal(s) and aluminium. The production of the deposit comprises a nitridation step in arder to obtain a coating of type (X,Al)N. According to the invention, the (X,Al)N-type coating is a coating of nitride(s) of the one or more X transition metal(s), enriched with aluminium, in which niobium and/or zirconium is/are make up the most part of the X transition metal(s), the atomic ratio of aluminium in the metal elements of the deposit being at least equal to 20%. Also provided are cookware items and electrical household appliances intended for the cooking of food, comprising the above-mentioned type of cooking surface.

  • Patent number: 9331775
    Abstract: A method (50) for detecting broadcast signals, transmitted by terrestrial sources (40) and received by a satellite (20), in individual signals obtained respectively from different individual antennas (24) of an antenna array (22) of the satellite, includes a first detection iteration (51a) and a second detection iteration (51b), each of the first and second detection iterations including a step (52) of forming, from the individual signals, virtual beams of different respective main radiation directions, and a step of searching for the presence of broadcast signals in the virtual beams. Furthermore, for at least one broadcast signal detected during the first detection iteration, the respective contributions of the at least one detected broadcast signal to the different individual signals are attenuated, relative to the first detection iteration, for all or part of the virtual beams formed during the second detection iteration. A system (10) for detecting broadcast signals is also described.
