    Abstract: The communication process for high-sensitivity and synchronous demodulation signals between a transmitter (2) and a receiver (3) comprises a first synchronisation phase followed by a modulation and demodulation phase of the data. To achieve this, the transmitter transmits a pseudo-periodic chirp signal to the receiver, where a frequency conversion of the chirp signal is performed in a mixer (33) by an oscillating signal (So) at constant frequency of a local oscillator (34) to supply an intermediate signal, which is filtered and sampled for a logic unit (37). An assembly (38) of m pairs DFT blocks phase-shifted in relation to one another and operating in parallel is provided in the logic unit. A processing unit (39) receives the result of the pairs of the assembly to determine frequency and phase errors between the transmitter and the receiver on the basis of two peaks detected by one of the pairs above a threshold to synchronise the receiver.

    Abstract: A portable object comprises a case forming a housing inside which is arranged a device that requires air to operate, and a closure device comprising at least one permeable element. The closure device is arranged to provide impermeability to liquids while allowing the atmosphere inside the housing to communicate with the external atmosphere. The case comprises a recess in which a through opening is made, said recess being closed by said closure device. The closure device comprises a permeable module mounted to move such that, in a gaseous environment, the permeable module is in a rest position allowing gases to penetrate said case opening through said permeable module, and in a liquid environment, the permeable module is in an operating position in which gases and liquids are blocked. The permeable module comprises a tubular support at the end of which is fixed a membrane.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a pressure sensor including means of sensing pressure and converting pressure into an electrical signal able to be transmitted by an electrical circuit to an control interface circuit of an indicator device, wherein said sensing and conversion means include: a closed volume and a liquid contained in the closed volume, said liquid being electrically conductive and capable of moving inside said closed volume, at least one sensing member arranged inside the closed volume in a given position in said volume, said sensing member including at least one pair of electrodes and cooperating with the liquid when said liquid moves in the closed volume, so that said electrical circuit is closed when the liquid passes said sensing member. The pressure sensor is intended to be integrated in a pressure measuring device, particularly a timepiece.
