Abstract: The possibilities that are offered to the subscribers of pay television are more and more varied and follow the expectations of consumers. In order to go towards a personalisation of the products proposed to the subscribers it is important to be able to determine the criteria that condition a particular offer using not only the subscriber parameters but also the parameters that can start several subscribers.

Abstract: Electronic components are mounted on a substrate from thin-walled magazines which are arranged in a configuration corresponding to a desired implantation of the components. Stacks of components are pushed upwards in the magazines by a pulse of compressed gas in order to press the components against the substrate which has been arranged over the magazines with conductor tracks facing downwards. Local application of an adhesive solder paste to the substrate causes the component on the top of each stack to adhere to and be lifted simultaneously with the substrate.
