Abstract: A radiofrequency signal control device of a domestic electrical apparatus, configured to be supplied with electrical energy by a mains electrical supply network, comprises a first electrical conductor, a second electrical conductor, a radiofrequency unit, a printed circuit board and an antenna. A first end of each of the first and second electrical conductors is configured to be electrically connected to the mains electrical supply network. The radiofrequency unit is electrically connected to a connection point. The connection point is arranged at a second end of the first electrical conductor. The radiofrequency signal control device further comprises an adaptation line section. A first end of the adaptation line section is electrically connected to the connection point. Furthermore, a second end of the adaptation line section is either electrically connected to a reference voltage or is devoid of an electrical connection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular home-automation actuator for driving a winding tube (310), said actuator comprising a head system (100) including a fixed point (1), a bush bearing (2), and a head (3A; 3B). The fixed point (1) forms a bearing surface (11) for guiding the bush bearing (2) in rotation, said bush bearing (2) partially covering a tube (210) of the tubular home-automation actuator. The head (3A, 3B) comprises a bore (32) having a first connecting element (33) that engages with a second connecting element (13) provided on the outer periphery of the fixed point (1) such as to connect the head and the fixed point in a rotatable manner. The head comprises a stop element (31) serving as an axial stop to the bush bearing along the longitudinal axis when the head is mounted on the fixed point.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a solar mask for a facility that comprises a step (E10) of positioning a mobile terminal at a predetermined location of a photovoltaic panel. Following the step (E10), the method comprises a step (E20) of taking a single photograph with a camera of the mobile terminal and a step (E30) of determining an orientation of the camera, during the step (E20), by means of an orientation detection device and a controller of the mobile terminal. The method further comprises a step (E40) of extending at least one contour of the photograph, in at least one direction, and a step (E60) of superimposing data from the extended photograph with a sun path diagram, in a common reference frame, so as to determine the solar mask.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motorised drive device including an actuator coupled to a mechanical load includes steps of: a) detecting a loss of electrical power; b) subsequent to detecting a loss of power, transferring at least a portion of the energy stored in a first capacitor connected to the input of a voltage regulator of the drive device to a second capacitor connected to the output of the voltage regulator; c) determining, during a first time period following the loss of power, whether the load has moved; d) when power is restored, controlling the movement of the load into a predefined reference position if mechanical load movement has been determined, or otherwise maintaining the load in its current position.
