Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling device (3) for cooling one or more electrical conductors (22) of a stator (2) of a rotating electrical machine (1), said device (3) comprising at least one cooling circuit (31) for a coolant (32), intended to be disposed in thermal contact with at least part of the electrical conductor(s) (22) during a step involving the welding of said electrical conductors.

Abstract: A method for decoding a data symbol carried by a signal received by a receiver of a communication system, the data symbol being modulated by a spread code sequence selected from a plurality of spread code sequences being quasi-orthogonal to each other to differentiate the symbol from other data symbols, and being received as a set of modulation bits, the method including a step of correlating the modulated data symbol received with each of the plurality of spread code sequences, and the correlating step is preceded by a step of sub-sampling the modulated data symbol received to mask one or more of the modulation bits therein, such that the step of correlating the sub-sampled data symbol received is carried out only for the non-masked modulation bits. It extends to a demodulation unit configured for the implementation of this method, and to a receiver integrating such a unit.

Abstract: The generator of the invention includes an initialization circuit (CI) delivering four initialization words (QI, RI, SI, TI), one calculation circuit (CC) composed of four sub-units (SQ, SR, SS, ST) corresponding to four generating polynomials of orders 5, 5, 7 and 7, and finally one output logic circuit (CS) delivering a pseudo-random byte sequence.Application for systems with access control, especially television systems.

Abstract: According to the invention, the control messages are constituted by a general addressing message (GCM), followed by shared addressing messages (SACM). The message (GCM) contains all the information common to all the user groups and a confirmation data item of the group of users and the messages (SACM) a shared address. Thus, the group is defined in a manner inherent in the control messages and can undergo reconfiguration at any time.Application to more particularly satellite broadcasting of television programmes.
