摘要:
A masking device (10, 100, 31, 80) for preventing remote exchange of data between a reader and a contactless object (21, 121, 41, 81) equipped with a radiofrequency device, the radiofrequency device including an antenna (22, 122, 42, 70) and a chip (24, 124, 44, 84) connected together. The masking device includes at least network of conductive lines (20, 120, 30, 70, 13) made on a planar support (11, 111, 32, 92), the device preventing the wake-up of the chip (24, 124, 44, 84) and the reading of its data when it is placed near the antenna (22, 122, 42, 82).
摘要:
A module is provided for installation in a drive bay of a computer and is adapted to accommodate expansion circuitry rather than the electromechanical devices conventionally installed in drive bays. A system interface board is provided for insertion into an expansion socket on the computer's motherboard and is connected to the module, thus interfacing the expansion circuitry to the computer. The expansion circuitry can be greater in volume and is more accessible and more easily cooled than expansion circuitry installed in expansion sockets on the motherboard.

A rotary growing apparatus comprises a cylindrical structure or drum provided with a series of parallel elongated, longitudinally extending, baskets adapted to receive therein the plants to be grown. A support base is provided for the drum, and a drive mechanism is adapted to rotate the drum on the support base about a rotational axis of the drum. At least one light source extends inside the drum about which the drum and the plants carried thereby can rotate. A feeding system provides nutrient fluid to the growing plants as the drum rotates and the baskets contact the nutrient fluid. The elongated baskets each include a bottom wall and a pair of side walls and are capable of receiving therein a series of plants supported by a growing medium. The elongated baskets define in the bottom and side walls thereof a plurality of apertures for allowing the nutrient fluid to access the plants. The elongated baskets are removably attached to a pair of parallel and opposed rims of the drum.
摘要:
To counter illicit prevention of the invalidation of a smart card in a pay television network, for example when the period of validity for the card has expired, a verification of the card reader's ability to write to the card's memory is made. This verification consists in periodically sending a data item to be stored in the card. A counter on the card is reset by the writing voltage of the card's storage. In the event the writing voltage does not reach the counter, the counter's overflow output is connected to a read inhibition circuit which blocks functions of the card.
摘要:
To prevent a person having found or stolen a card of a pay-television subscriber from using it fraudulently, the identity of the subscriber is recorded in a zone protected from reading and writing. At the beginning of the period of use of a new card, the new card compares the identity of the new card with that of the old one, and delivers the password only if the two identities are the same.
摘要:
A control-lever for a game in which a movable object is displaceable by gravity to operate a detector. In one embodiment the movable element is a pendulum and in a second embodiment the element is a ball rolling in one or more channels. The ball can be a solid object or a ball of mercury.
摘要:
An emergency call system includes an emergency call device capable of accessing at least a wireless telecommunication network by means of a communication apparatus. A server processes the emergency call coming from an emergency call device via the communication apparatus. The invention is applicable to emergency call systems in case of health accidents, assaults, accidents and the like. The emergency call device can be a smart card.
摘要:
A process for continuous manufacture of electronic modules (6) including the steps of providing a microcircuit and antenna receiving side on a continuous strip (8) and module surface areas; arranging, e.g., by printing, on the module surface area, a plane spiral antenna (2) wholly arranged to this area; fixing on said strip (8) a microcircuit (7) provided with contact pads (13, 14) after placing an insulator between the microcircuit the strip (8); making an electric connection between the antenna (2) and of the microcircuit.
摘要:
The device of the invention for a pay-television system comprises an emitter and several receivers using "smart cards". In addition to the unscrambling control signals, the emitter sends encrypted authentication messages to which a correct response can be given only by the receivers where valid cards are used.
摘要:
The system includes an electronic label (1) and a data terminal (6). The electronic label (1) is provided with a device for the emitting of electromagnetic waves (8) fixed to a ring (2) of the bottom of the protective bell (5). The data terminal (6) is coupled to a detachable read/write head (7) that can be inserted, as desired, into the bell (5) directly facing the label (1) bearing ring (2) to transmit information elements between the data terminal (6) and the label. The system may be used for the automatic identification of gas cylinder type articles.
