Abstract:
This reconfigurable power amplification device (110) includes, between an input (112) and an output (114), a first power channel (115) and a second power channel (117), and a switching means for dynamically selecting either one of the power channels in order to forward power between the input and the output of the device. The switching means includes an output coupler (132) able to operate in a coupling mode or in a combination mode, and a circuit (136, 138) for controlling the coupler so as to have it operate either in a coupling mode so that the power path passes through the second power channel, or in a combination mode so that the power path passes through the first power channel. Application to an integrated circuit in hybrid or MMIC technology.
Abstract:
A method for the real-time estimation of the total consumption of a fluid, in particular water or gas, distributed from a unit (A) to users (b1, b2 . . . ) via a network of supply pipes (E) with a branch (d1, d2 . . . ), for each user, fitted with a counter (c1, c2 . . . ) of the fluid consumed by the user, which method involves defining cohorts of users having homogeneous behaviour with regard to the consumption of fluid; defining, for at least one of these cohorts, a sample of users from the cohort that is statistically sufficient to represent the cohort; fitting only the branches of the users of each sample with a remote reading device (t1, t2, . . . ) for reading the consumption; also fitting remote reading devices to the branches of the users of the other cohorts that have not been sampled; and processing the information provided by the remote reading devices to obtain a real-time value representative of the total consumption of the network.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing nanostructured films obtained from block copolymers exhibiting a dispersity index of between 1.1 and 2, limits included, without nanostructuring defects, on a surface, in order for this treated surface to be able to be used as masks for applications in microelectronics.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel block copolymers that enable a good dispersion of nanofillers in water and also to a dispersion of nanofillers obtained owing to these block copolymers. This dispersion may be used as a transparent electrode in organic solar cells or other photoemitter or photoreceptor devices.
