  • Patent number: 6774928
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an audio-visual communication device (SB) and an associated method. Said audio-visual communication device has two reception paths, one video (VRP_B) and one audio (ARP_B), said paths being suitable for receiving a video signal (VS) and an audio signal (AS), respectively, originating from a second audio-visual communication device (SA). Said device is characterized in that it comprises means of return control (CNTRL) suitable for adapting an image frequency (FR) of said video signal (VS) as a function of a noise signal.

  • Patent number: 6680697
    Abstract: The invention relates to a controllable antenna structure (11) comprising a set of antennas (AA) arranged on a flexible support (12). Phase shifts and, in an advantageous embodiment, amplitude gains of electromagnetic current transmitted to these antennas (10), are determined by control means (13) to achieve a directive radiation pattern of the set of antennas (AA), said control means including computing means (18) which determine the radiation pattern of the set of antennas in accordance with global motion (GM) of the flexible support detected by tracking means (16), in accordance with local motion (LM) of the flexible support detected by detection means (17) and in accordance with the radio-frequency field characteristics (RF). Phase shifts and amplitude gains are transmitted to antennas via at least a phase shifter (14) and at least a gain multiplier (15).

  • Publication number: 20020005818
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device, for example, a mobile personal communicator comprising at least a main screen module and a folding screen module on said main screen module. The main screen module and the folding screen module comprise a sensor for detecting the state of unfolding of the folding screen module. The image to be displayed on the screen is adapted as regards size and resolution to the state of unfolding of the folding module.
