Abstract: An electronic payment terminal including a display screen, an outer casing provided with an opening capable of generating electrostatic discharges in the direction of the screen, and a support for the screen with a housing for receiving the screen. The housing includes a discharge plate disposed between the screen and the opening. The discharge plate is configured to intercept an electrostatic discharge occurring between the opening and the screen.

Abstract: An antenna system including a radio communication antenna having a first end and a second end between which at least one turn extends, an electronic card configured to receive and process data from the radio communication antenna, and a plurality of electrical connection members electrically connecting the radio communication antenna and the electronic card by contact. The electronic card includes a plurality of gold contact tracks, and each electrical connection member being composed of a foot fixed to the radio communication antenna, a contact head coated with gold and in contact with one of the contact tracks, and a body connecting the foot to the contact head. An electronic payment terminal including such an antenna system.

Abstract: A method for managing printing of data by a thermal printer. The thermal printer includes a thermal print head. The thermal print head has a plurality of points, each point having an effective resistance rd, and is powered by a power source. The method includes the following actions: measuring a voltage U given by the power source of the thermal printer; measuring an internal resistance ru of the power source; and computing a duration t for heating a number n of points as a function of the voltage U of the power source, the internal resistance ru of the power source, at least one effective resistance rd of at least one point corresponding to a dot to be printed for the printing of the data and as a function of at least one value of parasitic resistance rp of at least one element of the thermal printer.
