Abstract: The invention concerns a method for connecting first contact studs of a structure bearing electrodes for measuring or for stimulating a physiological activity with second studs of at least a downstream circuit, each second stud being traversed by an opening perforating the downstream circuit. The method includes the following steps: a) placing the downstream circuit on the structure, so that the opening of a second stud is located opposite a first stud; and b) depositing in the opening of the second stud a conductive material providing the connection between the first second stud opposite.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for connecting first contact studs (16) of a structure (1) bearing electrodes (4) for measuring or for stimulating a physiological activity with second studs (17) of at least a downstream circuit (2), each second stud (17) being traversed by an opening (15) perforating the downstream circuit. The method comprises the following steps: a) placing the downstream circuit on said structure, so that the opening (15) of a second stud (17) is located opposite a first stud (16); and b) depositing in the opening (15) of the second stud (17) a conductive material (18) providing the connection between the first and the second stud opposite.

Abstract: The invention concerns a structure comprising a flexible insulating support film (1) and electrodes (3) capable of measuring the electrical activity of a physiological medium or of stimulating it. The structure comprises, on the side of the electrodes, at least an element (18, 20, 22, 35, 38) made of insulating material projecting relative to the surface of the structure.

Abstract: The invention concerns a microelectrode designed to support at least a cell with excitable membrane, comprising an insulating wafer (11) whereon are formed detecting electrodes. A cover above each electrode is enclosed with walls made of insulating material substantially perpendicular to the wafer for locking in position said at least one cell. Spacing means (26-29) enable said at least one cell to be at a specific distance from the corresponding electrode.

Abstract: Wireless telecommunications apparatus and method. A base station sends data to a user terminal on a first channel at a first frequency in selected time slots and the user terminal sends data to the base station at a second frequency in selected time slots. These two frequencies are different. The network also either includes a transmitter which transmits further data to the user equipment at a third frequency in time slots in which the other data is not being sent or includes a receiver which receives further data from the user equipment at the third frequency in time slots in which the other data is not being sent. The apparatus can be a UMTS or other third generation system.
