  • Publication number: 20170207405
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-layer stack which is useful for forming a multi-junction organic photovoltaic cell, said stack including first and second active layers, and an intermediate p-type or n-type layer, inserted between said first and second active layers and in contact with at least one of the first and second active layers, said intermediate layer including a network of electrically conductive nanowires, said stack including an additional layer, inserted between the first active layer and the second active layer and directly in contact with the first active layer or the second active layer, the additional layer being P-type or N-type, separate from the one forming the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 7945791
    Abstract: A method for protecting at least one first datum to be stored in an integrated circuit, including, upon storage of the first datum, performing a combination with at least one second physical datum coming from at least one network of physical parameters, and only storing the result of this combination, and in read mode, extracting the stored result and using the second physical datum to restore the first datum.

  • Patent number: 7886163
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of supplying a private quantity (s) in an integrated circuit involved in an authentication procedure by means of an external device that takes said private quantity into account. In order to verify the integrity of said memory element, the private quantity is a function of a signature (SIGN) of at least one memory element (4, 10, 11, 12) associated with the integrated circuit.
