Abstract: An electronic payment device intended to be integrated into an unattended electronic payment terminal. The electronic payment device includes at least one electronic card, a screen, a keyboard and a contactless payment module. The contactless payment module has at least one contactless antenna arranged on a plane, called antenna plane, raised by a first predetermined distance with respect to the plane of the keyboard and raised by a second predetermined distance with respect to the plane of the screen. The second predetermined distance is smaller than the first predetermined distance.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and a system for dispersing particles in a fluid. The method includes stirring a fluid including particles in a stirring container using stirring means. During stirring the fluid is recirculated by continuously retrieving an amount of fluid from a retrieving position. Further, the particles are milled, where during each pass through the milling means a size of particles in the retrieved fluid is reduced. The retrieved fluid having passed through the milling means is continuously reintroduced into the stirring container at a reintroduction position. The reintroduced fluid is mixed with the fluid in the stirring container in a mixing region defined by the stirring means, and the retrieving position is determined such that the retrieved fluid includes particles with an average particle size differing from the average particle size of particles in the mixing region.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of an oil-in-water emulsion where the interior of oil droplets exhibit interfaces, between lipophilic domains and hydrophilic or amphiphilic domains, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive solubilized inside the oil droplets and which is used for delayed release of active elements such that the release of at least one active element, which has a octanol/water partitioning coefficient logP higher than ?1, corresponds to a higher Tmax than the Tmax obtained for the simple reference oil-in-water emulsion where no lipophilic additive is used.
