  • Patent number: 12470613
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to the management of a user interface of a communication terminal involved in ongoing communication by a communication terminal, referred to as an initiator terminal. A method is described for managing a user interface of at least one communication terminal by an initiator terminal during ongoing communication between communication terminals including the initiator terminal and at least one corresponding terminal, the user interface management method comprising, at least prior to a change, triggered by the initiator terminal, of the communication mode of the ongoing communication, providing change signaling data to the user interface of the at least one communication terminal, the change signaling data being able to control the user interface of a communication terminal. The risks of failure of the change of communication mode and therefore of unwanted closure of the ongoing communication are therefore reduced or even avoided.

  • Patent number: 11401158
    Abstract: A sensor package includes a sensor, at least one external wall, and an interposer, arranged between the sensor and the at least one external wall. The sensor is wire bonded to the interposer and the interposer is wire bonded to the at least one external wall. Using an interposer, wire bonded to both the sensor and the at least one external wall, is an improved approach to electrically connecting a sensor and a sensor package. The interposer allows for short wire bonds from the sensor and the at least one external wall to the interposer, replacing the single, long wire bond from the sensor to the at least one external wall in the prior art. This provides improved resilience of the sensor package under high stress. Furthermore, it allows an existing sensor and package combination to be improved without needing to redesign either component.

  • Patent number: 9843608
    Abstract: A method is provided for synchronous sharing of a document between a first and a second terminal. The method includes: transmission of a message to the second terminal comprising the coordinates of at least one contact point defined on the basis of the document to be shared; upon the opening of a viewing time window defined by the intersection of a first and of a second time window defined respectively for the first and the second terminal and each being bounded by the receipt, originating from the terminal, of a sharing agreement message triggered by an action on the at least one contact point and the receipt of an abandonment message triggered by the stopping of the action on the at least one contact point, of transmission of the document and of a command to display the document to the second terminal; and transmission of a command to delete the document upon the closing of the viewing time window.

  • Patent number: 9470530
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a circuit substrate (5), and a moulded interconnect device (4) incorporating integral legs (8) to mount the interconnect device upon the substrate, the legs spacing at least one of the legs carrying a conducting track (20, 21, 22) to provide an electrical interconnection between the interconnect device and the substrate. The substrate (5) may comprise another moulded interconnect device and may be mounted upon a processor (3) and may include an electromagnetic shield (30) on its lower surface.
