  • Patent number: 9797966
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic field measurement device, including a detector (4) configured to measure the amplitude of an output signal at a harmonic of an oscillation frequency of an excitation source, said amplitude being proportional to the magnetic field (B) to be measured, characterised in that it comprises an excitation circuit configured to associate with a principal excitation source (B1cos?t) oscillating at a principal oscillation frequency at least one secondary excitation source (B2cos(?/3t+?2)) oscillating at a secondary oscillation frequency that is a fraction of the principal oscillation frequency, said fraction being odd if said harmonic is odd, and even if said harmonic is even.

  • Publication number: 20140377091
    Abstract: A pump devoid of mobile mechanical parts and including a tank with a sleeve for dispensing fluid that remains fully open, but of which an inside capillary is too thin to allow for dispensing of fluid when idle. Recourse is therefore made to a resonator device with a piezoelectric exciter, that produces vibrations, in particular bending, of the sleeve to oblige the fluid to flow through it at a determined flow rate that depends on characteristics of the pump and of excitation. The assembly can be miniaturized and used as an implantable device, for example for treatment of hearing pathologies, to deliver a drug, or, in certain embodiments, also take samples of ambient fluid. A remote energy supply is possible.

  • Patent number: 8039285
    Abstract: A method for installing a sorption element in a cavity including: disposing, within the cavity, a getter material, a reaction material, and a protective material, the protective material covering at least one part of the getter material so as to bury the at least one part; raising a temperature up to at least one removal temperature; and moving the protective material towards the reaction material by reaction between the protective material and the reaction material so that at least one portion of the part of the getter material is no longer covered with the protective material.

  • Publication number: 20080213539
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of maintaining the optimal properties of a thin film getter (10) in a cavity (8) of a microelectronic device (1), consisting in coating the getter film (10) with a protective film (12) and installing a reaction element (14). According to the invention, an increase in temperature, while the cavity (8) may be placed under vacuum, causes the protective film (12) to react with the reaction element (14), such that the protective material (12) moves towards the reaction element (14) and releases the getter film of getter material (10).

  • Publication number: 20080150392
    Abstract: A basic oscillator (18) with two masses (1, 2) oscillating out of phase by means of a closed-contour coupling beam (3) is arranged in a plurality of sets in a generally linear or two-dimensional network, with linking beams (19, 20) passing through the rows of the network in order to join the oscillators and the anchoring points (21) for anchoring to a substrate. This network enables the propagation of data or disturbances and the energy dissipated by it is very low.
