Abstract: Control of access to an on-line service, the access to the service being requested, via a communication network, by a terminal suitable for receiving data broadcast by a plurality of devices for data transmission by light modulation producing a light beam. In particular: each transmission device is characterized by a unique identifier; and each transmission device belongs to a group of devices. The following steps, carried out by a server connected to the transmission devices, are provided: upon receiving a request from the terminal to access the service via a second transmission device identified by a second identifier, verifying whether a previous access request for said same terminal was accepted for a first transmission device identified by a first identifier; and, when the first and second identifiers correspond to devices of the same group, processing the access request.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical coupling device (COU) between two telecommunication terminals (TM1, TM2) each provided with an optical transmitter and receiver. The device comprises: an optical tunnel (TUN), a first contact surface (IF1) intended to accommodate a terminal and to ensure the optical coupling between the optical tunnel and on the one hand the optical transmitter and on the other the optical receiver of this terminal, a second contact surface (IF2) intended to ensure the optical coupling between the optical tunnel and on the one hand the optical transmitter and on the other the optical receiver of the other terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminating device including a plurality of light sources mounted on a deck, the device being such that it includes a first set of light sources placed in a central zone of the deck and a second set of light sources placed in a peripheral zone of the deck, the light sources of one of the sets each being suitable for transmitting data by modulation of visible light, the light sources of at least one of the sets being associated with at least one fixed convergent first lens positioned on the axis of said sources.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the access to an on-line service, the access to the service being requested, via a communications network, by a terminal designed to receive data broadcast by a data transmission device using modulation of visible light producing a light beam, the method being characterized in that it comprises steps for generation of a token for accessing the service, for sending a command for broadcasting the token for accessing the service by the data transmission device using modulation of visible light, and when the terminal is in range of the light beam, for receiving, via the communications network, a request for accessing the service comprising a token for accessing the service originating from the terminal, for verifying the validity of the access token, and for access authorization when the token is valid. In a correlated manner, the invention relates to a method for accessing a service and devices, servers and terminals implementing these methods.

Abstract: The invention provides a filler material for a munition, inluding an explosive charge, an inert charge and at least one pyrotechnic transmission unit adapted to transmit a remotely initiated detonation to said explosive charge. The invention also concerns a munition incorporating said filler material, said munition including a hollow elongate casing suitable for housing the explosive charge and the inert charge, and a firing device, at least a portion of the inert charge being interposed between the firing device and said explosive charge, and the pyrotechnic transmission unit being provided with a pyrotechnic extension and coupling the firing device to the explosive charge in order to prime detonation of the explosive charge under the action of the firing device.

Abstract: An amplifying optical electromagnetic wave concentrator includes an amplification focusing device and a receiver. The amplification focusing device focuses an incident optical electromagnetic wave on the receiver. The amplification focusing device is doped with active components and is subjected to an excitation wave that causes the active components to pass to an energy level such that interaction between the incident electromagnetic wave and the active components causes the active components to pass to a lower energy level and causes emission, towards the receiver, of at least one photon having the same wavelength as the incident electromagnetic wave. The focused photon or photons form an amplified wave of the incident electromagnetic wave.
