  • Publication number: 20250202703
    Abstract: A method for verifying the conformity of a NDEF message (MC, MS) based on a processing of a previous NDEF message (MP) sent by a same transponder (2) to an electronic system (3). The method includes: transmitting the NDEF message (MC, MS) by the transponder (2) to the electronic system (3), the NDEF message (MC, MS) being designed (22) by the transponder (2) in generating (23) transponder-defined data constituting this NDEF message (MC, MS), including at least one NDEF Record consisting in generic data (GD) and a token (Ti+1, Ti+a) including data containing a random number (RNi+1, RNi+a) and a one-way function value (Vi+1, Vi+a) computed from a random number (RNi) contained in the previous NDEF message (MP); controlling the regularity of the token; and broadcasting an informative message relating to conformity of the NDEF message (MC, MS) when the regularity of this token (Ti+1, Ti+a) has been controlled.

  • Publication number: 20240211348
    Abstract: A method for managing data stored in a page (P) within a memory element of a memory system including a controller, the page (P) including at least one encoded data (E) consisting in a binary code being formed by a word (W 0-N) and its associated redundancy code (RC 0-N), the method including a step of storing a user data in this page (P) implemented by the controller, this step including a sub-step of performing error correction code (ECC) calculations on the user data providing an associated redundancy code (RC 0-N) corresponding to an erased redundancy code (RC E) for this user data if it has a reference binary code (br) of an erased word (W E) the erased redundancy code (RC E) having a binary value similar to that of the reference binary code (br).

  • Publication number: 20240211342
    Abstract: An electronic device including a Bluetooth communication unit configured to perform Bluetooth communication, this unit including a memory module containing a memory controller and a memory element equipped with at least one page (P) including at least one encoded data (E) including a binary code being formed by a word (W 0-N) and its associated redundancy code (RC 0-N), the memory controller being configured to store a user data in this page (P) by performing error correction code (ECC) calculations on this user data for providing an associated redundancy code (RC 0-N) corresponding to an erased redundancy code (RC E) for this user data, if this user data has a reference binary code of an erased word (W E), the erased redundancy code (RC E) having a binary value similar to that of the reference binary code.

  • Patent number: 9559614
    Abstract: A grid-connected inverter for feeding current via a transformer into an electric power grid includes an output bridge arrangement that is actuated via a pulse width modulator, wherein a periodic auxiliary signal is used to determine switching times of the output bridge arrangement. The inverter also includes a synchronization unit for phase synchronization of the auxiliary signal with the electric power grid, wherein the synchronization unit is configured to set a predetermined phase offset (??0) of the periodic auxiliary signal with respect to a phase of the electric power grid.
