Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing a transaction with a system (1, 1A, 1B, 10) comprising a terminal (2) and a chip device (3), said system being configured to communicate to a user (6), during said transaction, transaction information from the terminal via an adapter (4), said adapter being configured to receive, by wire or wirelessly, said information (5) and to translate it into voice or another form, said information being obtained or collected in or via said chip device (3), characterized in that said chip device (3) is configured with a first communication interface with proximity radiofrequency or electrical (M3) contacts included in the device in order to receive the transaction information directly from a communication interface of the terminal. The invention also relates to the corresponding system.

Abstract: A method for enrolling a holder of a biometric transaction device includes the following step: storing at least one biometric pattern in the device. The method further includes the following steps: a) providing the holder with a portable, mobile power connector, configured to trigger the storing; b) and/or activating the biometric pattern, the activation being carried out in response to or in association with a successful authentication of the holder. A corresponding system is also enclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for provisioning a wireless control device with an information element allowing to identify visually at least one unauthorized user in a restricted area, the restricted area comprising a gateless control area being equipped with at least an image sensor and an electronic reader supporting a short range radio technology allowing to read data memorized into a wearable device carried by a user.

Abstract: A photovoltaic cell is provided that can be used under high levels of solar concentration (?1000 suns). The present cell includes at least one junction produced on a substrate based on gallium antimonide, the at least one junction having two alloys based on an antimonide material (Ga1-xAlxAsySb1-y) lattice-matched on the substrate GaSb. If there are several junctions, two neighbouring junctions are separated by a tunnel junction.

Abstract: A device for processing faults, that detects and identifies faults, including, for at least part of the identified faults: a mechanism storing a log of occurrences of faults having a same identification, in a course of a plurality of flights; a mechanism determining an impact of each identified fault, on availability of aircraft in a predetermined duration, a mechanism associating a hierarchical attribute with each fault detected in a course of a flight, the hierarchical attribute being dependent on the log and on the impact; and a mechanism displaying identified faults associated with part of the hierarchical attributes. The device enables, in particular, maintenance operations or operations preparatory to maintenance to be better scheduled by virtue of hierarchization of faults displayed.
