  • Broadband multi-channel radiofrequency receiver
    Patent number: 8874054
    Abstract: A device for receiving a broadband multi-channel radiofrequency signal includes a radiofrequency analog input stage connected to an intermediate-frequency conversion stage. The conversion stage includes at least one conversion chain having a frequency mixer that transposes the signal to an intermediate frequency connected to the input of an analog-digital converter with a high frequency sampling rate. The intermediate and sampling frequencies in each conversion chain are selected such that, considering the noise generated by the sampling overtones of the corresponding analog-digital converter, each of the radiofrequency signal channels has a signal/noise ratio that is greater at output than a predetermined value of at least one conversion chain.
    Type: Grant

  • Ballistic safety device
    Patent number: 7846854
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ballistic protection device. A device embodying the invention includes at least three layers of synthetic fabrics forming the reinforcements of one and the same piece obtained by resin-transfer molding, the middle layer made from a fabric including glass fibers crossed with carbon fibers. An embodiment of the invention applies, for example, to the protection of vehicles against ballistic-type attacks.
