Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for transmission without crosstalk in interconnections used for sending a plurality of signals, such as the interconnections made with flat multiconductor cables, or with the tracks of a printed circuit board, or inside an integrated circuit. An interconnection with four parallel transmission conductors plus a reference conductor has each of its ends connected to a termination circuit. The transmitting circuit receives at its input the signals of the four channels of the source and its output terminals are connected to the conductors of the interconnection. The receiving circuit(s) input terminals are connected to the conductors of the interconnection, and its four output channels are connected to the destination. The signals of the four channels of an active source are sent to the four channels of the destination, without noticeable crosstalk.

Abstract: Transmitting device for free-space optical transmission. The invention relates to a transmitting device for transmission through space, using electromagnetic waves of the infrared and/or visible and/or ultraviolet bands produced by one or several discharge lamps. The device is connected by its input terminals (1) to an a.c. energy distribution system. A mains filter (2) reduces the conducted electromagnetic disturbances produced by the power circuits comprising a rectifier (3), a power-factor-correction circuit (4), a low-voltage power supply (5) and an inverter (8). The inverter (8) is connected to a series inductor (9) connected in series with a hot-cathode fluorescent lamp (10) and a capacitor (12), a parallel capacitor (11) allowing an optimal start of the lamp. A receiving set for transmission via power distribution lines (6) delivers “demodulated signals” applied to the control circuitry (7) which controls the state of the switches of the inverter (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for locating faults on subsea telecommunications links by determining the resistance of a conductor of the cable having a fault not being insulated from the sea. The apparatus is provided with two terminals, one for connection to one of the conductors of the subsea link and the other for being connected to the sea or to ground, through which terminals it is capable of delivering or receiving electrical power. The apparatus, on its own or together with another apparatus of the invention, is capable of automatically performing current and voltage measurements and it is capable of processing them automatically while making use of data from one or more databases concerning notably the resistance per unit length of the cable in order to locate the fault.
