Abstract:
The invention concerns an actuator comprising a sliding sleeve (1) and a piston (2) axially mobile in said sleeve, said piston comprising a plurality of piezoelectric sections made of multilayer material, control means for applying on said sections control voltages for expanding said sections so that they are locked relative to the sliding sleeve and extend other sections inside said sleeve, said expansions and extensions being controlled by said control means according to the sequences moving the piston in said sleeve. The invention is characterised in that the control means are capable of applying to each of the sections a voltage which shortens said section and locks it in the sliding sleeve and an inverse voltage which releases said section relative to said sleeve and extends it therein, one and the other of said voltages being applied successively to said section during a sequence displacing the piston, each section being thus used both for locking and extending during such a sequence.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a radio communication terminal (20) provided with an access to a cellular communication network (200) and access to a satellite communication network (100). During the course of the same communication, the terminal (20) transmits uplink data and receives downlink data, one of the two channels, uplink and downlink, being cellular and the other being satellite. The invention is applicable to mobile telephones.
Abstract:
La présente invention concerne un téléphone mobile du type comportant une chaîne d'émission (11) prévue pour recevoir les signaux d'un microphone (10) et pour délivrer des signaux correspondants modulés sur une porteuse à une fréquence f 0 , un amplificateur (30) pour attaquer une antenne d'émission (31) pour émettre des signaux radiofréquences à la fréquence d'émission f correspondant auxdits signaux modulés, et une chaîne de réception (12) pour la réception et la restitution, ladite chaîne d'émission (11) et ladite chaîne de réception (12) étant pilotées par une unité de gestion (19), ledit téléphone mobile comprenant deux modules distincts.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of receiving network parameter signals via a mobile telephone operating in dual mode. According to the invention, when a mobile telephone operating in dual mode, particularly GSM and UMTS, is switched on, if the time spent searching for a base station using one mode is greater than a given threshold, an attempt is made to communicate with a base station using another mode. In this way, the connection set-up time, or reconnection time in the event of an unexpected disconnection, is improved statistically. The aforementioned operations can also be used in standby or communication mode such that emissions from neighbouring base stations can be recognised as quickly as possible.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un doigt (1) froid d'un dispositif d'observation infrarouge comportant une pièce creuse (4) de forme allongée et apte à former une interface entre d'une part un détecteur infrarouge (2) à une de ses extrémités (6) et d'autre part un cryogénérateur (3) à l'autre de ses extrémités, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte sur sa surface latérale extérieure au moins une ailette (10) de renfort. L'invention concerne également un dispositif d'observation infrarouge comportant un doigt selon l'invention.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a test system for cellular radiotelephone network, and in particular for a GPRS network comprising at least a test mobile terminal (4) and an interface terminal (8) whereto said mobile terminal is connected by a series link (7). The interface terminal (8) and the mobile terminal (4) comprise means for implementing test exchanges through a binary protocol whereof the frames include the following series of blocks: a beginning-of-frame flag (10), a field identification block (12, 16) a verification block (14) and an end-of-frame block (15). The frames comprise a message block (13) of variable length, and a block specifying the length of said message block which is arranged after the beginning-of-frame flag and before the message block.
