    摘要: There is disclosed a wristwatch having a case containing a mechanical watch movement (10) driven by a spring barrel (14) and provided with a mechanical regulator with a balance and balance-spring, which is associated, via electromagnetic coupling, with an electronic regulator driven by a quartz resonator. The rim of the balance (13) is provided with a pair of permanent magnets (38, 39). The electronic regulator includes a fixed coil (12) arranged for cooperating with said magnets via electromagnetic coupling, a rectifier (58) provided with at least one capacitor, and a circuit (60) for enslaving the frequency of the mechanical regulator to the frequency of the oscillator by braking obtained by briefly short-circuiting the coil. In order to enable a common type of mechanical movement to be used, only the balance of which is altered, the electronic regulator is formed by a structural module (11) that is entirely separate from the mechanical watch movement (10). This module can be fixed to the movement plate, or, conversely, carried by the watchcase independently of said movement, in particular via a casing ring (26). Apart from the coil, all of the rest of the electronic module (11) is preferably located outside the mechanical movement.

    摘要: A timepiece comprising a generator (1) for generating a supply voltage of a first predetermined value U.sub.1, a barrel with a spring (5, 6), a winding mechanism (5') and a set of hands (7 to 9). The electronic circuit (11, 12) of the timepiece requires a minimum limited supply voltage having a second predetermined value U.sub.2. This circuit comprises a timebase (12) and a regulating circuit (11) for regulating the rotational speed of the generator.

    摘要: This invention concerns a wireless data communication method, wherein a transmitter device having a first wide band antenna transmits ultra-wide band encoded data signals to a receiver device having a second wide band antenna for receiving the direct and/or multiple path coded data signals. The transmitted data is defined by one or several sequences of N pulses where N is an integer number greater than 1. The arrangement of the N pulses of each sequence represents a data coding relative to the transmitter device. The N pulses of a sequence of direct and/or multiple path coded data signals received by the receiver device are processed each in one among N corresponding reception time windows. Each of the N reception time windows is positioned in time based on a known theoretic arrangement of the N pulses of signals transmitted by the transmitter device. An adding operation of the N windows is then performed in the receiver device so that the amplitude level of the constantly added pulses is higher than the amplitude level of the noise sensed by the receiver device.
