Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the phase difference between a first clock signal (CK1) received by a first electronic component (CE1) and a second clock signal (CK2) received by a second electronic component (CE2), comprising the steps of: S10) transmitting a first calibration signal (S12); S20) measuring a first delay (T1); S30) transmitting a second calibration signal (S21); S40) measuring a second delay (T2); S50) measuring the number (n) of clock pulses between the transmission of the first calibration signal (S12) and the active edge of the first clock signal (CK1) consecutive to the active edge of the second calibration signal (S21); S60) determining the phase difference depending on the parity of the number (n) of clock pulses.

Abstract: In a computerized method to reduce noise in phased-array signals from a set of receivers at different locations, time-series are received from the receivers, which time-series form phased-array signals. The time-series are ordered based on the different locations of the receivers and spatially phased series are obtained from the ordered time-series. Each of the spatially phased series obtained includes a series of signal values that are spatially phased. A noise component is identified in each of the spatially phased series obtained and removed from the spatially phased series to obtain denoised series. Related receiver systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suite of configurable products which can be configured during fitting. It also relates to a configuration tool tailored to this suite of configurable products. It relates finally to a configuration process for such products. A configuration tool (19) linked by an infrared channel (18) for communicating configuration words initially recorded in a memory (34), and selected by a keypad (23) performs the loading of the configuration words into the memory (6) of a control circuit (1) equipped with a microcontroller (2) executing a program for configuring a configurable product, such as a sanitary ware during the on-site fitting thereof. Application to a suite of sanitary ware products.
