  • Publication number: 20230299214
    Abstract: An optically transparent electromagnetic shielding assembly exhibiting a shielding efficiency that is increased when a conducting or polarizable fluid produces a low electrical impedance value between a periphery and a central region of a window. Such shielding assembly is useful in detection systems that are exposed to varying intensities of electromagnetic radiation, such as microwave radiation.

  • Publication number: 20230153212
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic system comprising an electronic computer, in the presence of an external request to execute a source application whose executable has been previously loaded within a first dedicated area of the memory, being at least configured to: instantiate a clone application of the source application by: duplicating the executable of the source application to create the executable of the clone application, and by storing it in a second area of the memory distinct from the one dedicated to the source application, and by generating a request, internal to the computer, to execute said at least one clone application, execute the source and clone(s) applications independently, generate a single output based on comparing the result of the execution of the source and clone(s) applications.

  • Patent number: 11563128
    Abstract: A shielding element comprises a rigid substrate and at least one electrically conductive two-dimensional structure which is placed on one of the faces of the substrate. The substrate and the electrically conductive two-dimensional structure are such that the shielding element has optical-transmission and shielding-efficiency values at least one of which varies between two zones of the shielding element. Such a shielding element enables easier assembly of a detection system comprising multiple optical sensors.

  • Patent number: 11060920
    Abstract: An optically transparent electromagnetic shield assembly comprising an electrical connection device with variable electrical resistance. The electrical connection device electrically connects a conductive two-dimensional structure, which covers a transparent substrate, to a shell portion which is electrically conductive. The resistance of the connection device can be adjusted, either initially for a detection system for which the shield assembly is intended or in real time while the shield assembly is in use, according to an RF radiation intensity.

  • Patent number: 8403268
    Abstract: A pilot chute device is connected to a parachute canopy for deploying the parachute canopy out of a container adapted to be closed and opened and within which the parachute canopy is foldable. The pilot chute device includes an inflatable pilot chute adopted to assist the deployment of the parachute canopy, the inflatable pilot chute being foldable into the container, and a spring device adopted to push the inflatable pilot chute outside the container when the container is opened. The spring device is dispensed apart from the inflatable pilot chute, between the pilot chute and the parachute canopy.

  • Patent number: 6704679
    Abstract: A system for acquisition of logic states including sensors operable in all-or-nothing mode, each sensor including a switch linked with a pulling resistor between ground and power-supply potential, an analog multiplexer including an output and inputs linking the switches and resistors, voltage representative of the potential linked to a specific input, an analog-digital converter linked to the output, a calculating logic unit which drives the multiplexer and converter, generates input addresses of the multiplexer periodically and sequentially, reads and stores digital values at an output of the converter for each address, determines a digital value of the voltage, determines for each address corresponding to a sensor, a position of the digital value for an address with respect to a threshold, relating to an address, the position representing logic state of each sensor, and an altering device for altering the threshold as a function of the digital value of the voltage.
