Abstract: A biasing connector for biasing a shielding element of a power cable in connection with a cable joint, wherein an external sheath extends over a length of a cable sheath, may include an end portion configured to contact the shielding element and a conductive tape having a first end, connected to the end portion of the biasing connector, and a second end, configured to connect to a terminal providing a biasing voltage. At least one portion of the conductive tape may include at least one layer of a solid flat element having a width substantially equal to a transversal width of the conductive tape. The at least one portion of the conductive tape may be at least partly covered by the external sheath.

Abstract: A biasing connector (150) is disclosed. The biasing connector is configured to bias a shielding element (135) of a power cable (105) in connection with a cable joint, wherein an external sheath (144) extends over a length of a cable sheath (137). The biasing connector includes an end portion (155; 505) for contacting the shielding element, and a conductive tape (165) having a first end connected to the end portion of the biasing connector and a second end adapted to be connected to a terminal (160) providing a biasing voltage. At least one portion (165, 308) of the conductive tape comprises at least one layer of a solid flat element having a width substantially equal to a transversal width (wd) of the conductive tape (165); said at least one portion is at least partly covered by the external sheath (144).

Abstract: A device for processing multiple procedures based on multiple types of documents includes the functions of selecting one procedure from among multiple procedures, identifying in a database the complementary information needed to perform the procedure, and requesting complementary information from the user, adapted to ask the user for at least one piece of complementary information. The device can capture an image of a document process the image and extract information from the image.

Abstract: The process includes: a selection step (310 to 317) for choosing one procedure from among the aforementioned multiple procedures, an identification step (319) for identifying, in a database, complementary information needed to perform the aforementioned procedure and a complementary information request step for requesting complementary information from the user, adapted to asking the user for at least one piece of complementary information identified by the means of identifying information.

Abstract: A device for automatic document reading includes an image sensor for imaging the document and an output for data from the document and data concerning meanings of at least part of the scanned data. The device further includes parts for detecting at least a scanning guide and means associating at least a scanned information with an information of meaning using the scanning guide.

Abstract: A document contains zones in which to write at least one character per zone, and directions as to the information that is required in the zones. The directions are printed in the zones such that the written characters constituting the required information overlap the printed directions.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for automatic document reading comprising an image sensor (100) for imaging the document and an output (110) for data from said document and data concerning meanings of at least part of said scanned data. It further comprises means for detecting at least a scanning guide (134) and means associating (136) at least a scanned information with an information of meaning using said scanning guide.
