Abstract: A module for operating a carrier of one or more substrates to be treated in a vacuum deposition method includes a frame provided with a plate receiving, on a first side, an electronic assembly comprising radio transmitter/receiver electronics, a processor card, motor controller electronics and a battery for supplying power to the module. The processor card has a program memory with a program for controlling the motor controller electronics according to data received from a remote apparatus provided with a radio transmitting/receiving device for communicating with the module's radio transmitter/receiver electronics and, on a second side, a device for operating the carrier, which device is provided with a first motor for rotating the carrier about a first axis parallel to the plate and with a second motor for rotating the carrier about a second axis perpendicular to the plate.

Abstract: A shielding element comprises a rigid substrate and at least one electrically conductive two-dimensional structure which is placed on one of the faces of the substrate. The substrate and the electrically conductive two-dimensional structure are such that the shielding element has optical-transmission and shielding-efficiency values at least one of which varies between two zones of the shielding element. Such a shielding element enables easier assembly of a detection system comprising multiple optical sensors.

Abstract: An attachment system and method for optical parts for applying treatments and deposits on at least one surface of said parts without sparse zones on said surface. The system includes an optical part holder in the form of a flange provided with two branches connected at respective first branch ends thereof by a spring link and provided at respective second branch ends thereof with facing tabs and means for bringing said tabs together suited for tightening the branches on an edge of said parts. The method includes a step of positioning an optical part holder in the form of a flange on the edge of said optical part, where a front surface of said flange is positioned recessed from the surface to be treated or flush with the surface to be treated and a step of tightening the flange on the edge of said optical part.

Abstract: An optically transparent electromagnetic shield assembly comprising an electrical connection device with variable electrical resistance. The electrical connection device electrically connects a conductive two-dimensional structure, which covers a transparent substrate, to a shell portion which is electrically conductive. The resistance of the connection device can be adjusted, either initially for a detection system for which the shield assembly is intended or in real time while the shield assembly is in use, according to an RF radiation intensity.
