  • Patent number: 10680719
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bidirectional wireless communication device which is based on the use of light, including emitting modules, each emitting amplitude- and/or phase-modulated light; and a receiving module made up of: a photodetector illuminated by said modulated light and generating a modulated electrical signal in response to said modulated light; and a processing module for processing the signal generated by said photodetector. The receiving module includes an electronic means positioned between the photodetector and the signal-processing module and capable of matching the impedance of the photodetector to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio of the electrical signal by minimising distortions of said electronic signal associated with incorrect impedance matching at the output of the photodetector, while maximising the level of the modulated electrical signal and the throughput of transmitted data.

  • Patent number: 9638259
    Abstract: A plug assembly for use in a rolling bearing comprising at least a first ring, at least one second ring, and at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the rings. The first ring is provided with an opening for inserting rolling elements into a space between raceways or for taking rolling elements out of the space between the raceways for assembly and maintenance. The plug assembly comprises a plug configured to close the opening when the bearing is operating. The plug includes an inner end face facing the rolling elements and an outer end face opposite to the inner end face. The bearing can further comprise a protective cap shielding the outer end face of the plug from a corrosive environment of the bearing.

  • Patent number: 8738352
    Abstract: Related communication signals between a simulator and an emulator are organized into logical channels. The signals in each channel are then be transmitted only as needed, reducing the use of the communication pathways between the simulator and the emulator. Further, the circuit components that will receive the communication signals to be shared on a channel are be physically located close together within the emulator, thereby reducing the time required to select and enable components of the emulator to receive the signals sent by the simulator. Similarly, emulator components that send communication signals to be shared on a channel are physically located close together within the emulator, thereby reducing the time required to select and enable components of the emulator to send these signals to the simulator.
