Abstract: An electrical device comprises a printed circuit board, a first contact portion, a second contact portion, a first conductive wall and a second conductive wall. The printed circuit board has a first surface and a second surface, on which the first contact portion and the second contact portion are disposed, respectively. The first conductive wall and the second conductive wall are in electrical contact with the first contact portion and the second contact portion, respectively. The first contact portion and the second contact portion are offset from one another in a direction parallel to at least one of the first surface and the second surface.

Abstract: A power regulation circuit including an input from an alternating current (AC) power supply, a load element connected to the AC power supply input, a dummy power resistor connected in parallel with the load element, and a controller to dynamically control power to the load element and to the dummy power resistor in response to a variation in the power consumption of the load element.

Abstract: Method of data processing for selectively activating, at a mobile station, a mode of communication related to VAMOS-2 technology. The method includes the steps of: receiving a first signal of a first subchannel, the first signal containing a first training sequence, and receiving a second signal of a second subchannel, the second signal containing a second training sequence, the second signal being orthogonally multiplexed with respect to the first signal, and using the first training sequence and the second training sequence to: determine a value of a parameter defining a ratio between the first subchannel power and the second subchannel power, and determine a signal to noise ratio estimation, and determine, using the parameter value and the signal to noise estimation, whether the mode of communication has to be activated.

Abstract: Method of data processing for selectively activating, at a mobile station (1, 2), a mode of communication related to VAMOS-2 technology, the method comprising the steps of:—receiving a first signal of a first subchannel (C1), the first signal containing a first training sequence (mwant), and receiving a second signal of a second subchannel (C2), the second signal containing a second training sequence (mosc), the second signal being orthogonally multiplexed with respect to the first signal,—using the first training sequence and the second training sequence to:—determine a value of a parameter (?) defining a ratio between the first subchannel power and the second subchannel power, and—determine a signal to noise ratio estimation, and—determining, using the parameter value and the signal to noise estimation, whether the said mode of communication has to be activated.
