Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling an electrical network that includes at least one transformer station delimiting a medium-voltage sub-network and a low-voltage sub-network and a plurality of entities that are connected to a determined voltage in the low-voltage sub-network, each entity being a consumer and/or a producer of electricity in the low-voltage sub-network. The method includes determining control data on the production and/or on the consumption of electricity to be applied to one or more entities of the low-voltage sub-network taking into account previously determined production and/or consumption quotas.

Abstract: A method for generating power in a network including a non-intermittent source and an intermittent source, including predicting a demand by a load and an uncertainty; distributing a power to be generated between the sources, the distributing being suitable for minimizing a fuel consumption required for the generation by the non-intermittent source and the intermittent source; and dimensioning a reserve of power, the dimensioning being suitable for compensating for the consumption uncertainty.

Abstract: Neuromorphic circuits are multi-cell networks configured to imitate the behavior of biological neural networks. A neuromorphic circuit is provided which comprises a network of neurons each identified by a neuron address in the network, each neuron being able to receive and process at least one input signal and then later emit on an output of the neuron a signal representing an event which occurs inside the neuron, and a programmable memory composed of elementary memories each associated with a respective neuron. The elementary memory, which is a memory of post-synaptic addresses and weights, comprises an activation input linked by a conductor to the output of the associated neuron to directly receive an event signal emitted by this neuron without passing through an address encoder or decoder. The post-synaptic addresses extracted from an elementary memory activated by a neuron are applied, with associated synaptic weights, as inputs to the neural network.

Abstract: A digital-to-analogue converter, with application to electronic circuits with neuromorphic architecture, comprises: transistors of identical nominal geometrical characteristics, but of dispersed current-voltage characteristics, wherein when a constant gate-source voltage is applied to the different transistors, a current varying as a function of the dispersion circulates in the transistor; a digital table receiving a digital word and having a selection output selecting, as a function of the word to be converted, a transistor or transistors supplying a current of desired value representing this word in analogue form. The look-up table is loaded as a function of real measured current-voltage characteristics of different transistors of the set, to establish a look-up between words and current values.

Abstract: A system including a sensor measuring a position of movement, an artificial controller converting the signals from the sensor into state variables of full movement, correlated with a reference model, by performing continual adjustments for estimating these variables directly drawn from the signals of the sensor by results drawn from the reference model. The control which is then provided for completing the movement has good synchronization with the portion accomplished without assistance from the system. Such a system may find application for reproducing or completing the walking of a person with a disabled leg.

Abstract: The process comprises acquisition of experimental data from measurements of physical quantities by means of at least one sensor associated to the object. The process comprises a first reliable estimation of a first range of values with a first method. The process comprises at least one additional estimation of an additional range of values with a different method. The methods each present a predetermined reliability. The ranges of values are successively observed in order of decreasing reliability of the corresponding methods. Each additional range of values is compared with the range of values corresponding to the previous method according to said order. The additional range is chosen as result when the additional range is comprised in the range corresponding to one of the previous methods.
