Abstract: A satellite payload (20) including a reflector (22), a network (23) of sources (24) and a beam forming network connected to said sources in order to form beams for carrying signals in a first frequency band, called “band B1”, and in a second frequency band, called “band B2”. The reflector comprises two reflective surfaces (22a, 22b) positioned one behind the other in relation to the network of sources and having different curvatures so that each reflective surface generates an image of the network of sources with a different magnification factor. The reflective surface closest to the network of sources is transparent for all the signals carried on the band B2 and is adapted to reflect signals carried in the band B1. The other reflective surface is adapted to reflect signals carried in the band B2.

Abstract: A dihydroxyacetone fortified honey composition, including a mixture of honey and dissolved dihydroxyacetone in a preferred honey to dissolved dihydroxyacetone ratio of 0.5 ml-20 ml of dissolved dihydroxyacetone to each kilogram of honey, wherein the mixture has a moisture content of between one and twenty percent, and wherein the mixture contains a preferred amount of methylglyoxal of between 83 milligrams of methylglyoxal per 1.0 kilogram of honey and 1500 milligrams of methylglyoxal per 1.0 kilogram of honey.

Abstract: A device, intended to be fixed on a wall, for absorbing electromagnetic waves. The absorption device comprises a metal plate intended to be fixed on the wall, a dielectric panel at a distance from the metal plate and delimiting, with the metal plate, a volume between the metal plate and the dielectric panel, an array of resistive dipoles, all the resistive dipoles being fixed on the same face of the dielectric panel, and each comprising two metal platelets at a distance from one another and a resistor arranged between the opposing edges of two neighboring metal platelets.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave diffraction device for fixing onto an outer wall face comprising a plurality of electrically conductive resonant elements having an L-shaped profile fixed parallel on the outer face. Each element comprises a first and second wall secured at right angles to one another along a common edge. The first wall is fixed at a right angle to the outer face by a fixing edge parallel to the common edge. The second wall has a free edge parallel to the common edge. The free edges of all elements are parallel and arranged on the same side relative to the common edge of the corresponding element. A weather protection arrangement for reinforcing the protection of a capacitive area generated in a space between the outer face and the second wall, in the form of a water impermeable dielectric material panel, is fixed to the outer face and covers the elements.
