Abstract:
The invention relates to an assembly and a method for powering an electric aircraft (200) by means of supplementary energy-supplying means. The electric energy delivered by such means reduces the energy drawn from the battery and recharges the battery when the supplementary electrical power exceeds that consumed. A greater extension of the flight time may be achieved by defining a number of energy profiles that can be automatically activated by energy management means. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the supplementary-energy device is a photovoltaic film covering at least a portion of a frame (201) of said aircraft (200). The invention relates also to an electric aircraft equipped with said assembly.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for managing communications,wherein said apparatus comprises input means (23) adapted to receive signaling information from a caller communication terminal (4) that is trying to establish a connection with a called communication terminal (3) which is unavailable, output means (24) adapted to send at least a non-availability message to the caller communication terminal (4), and processing means (21) configured for determining attempting information on the basis of data generated by the caller communication terminal (4) during a communication attempt, and generating, on the basis of the signaling information and the attempting information, the non-availability message or at least a configuration message allowing the communication between said caller and called communication terminals (3, 4).
Abstract:
The invention consists of a watch (1, 1',1'') comprising a case (2), display means (15) for displaying a plurality of symbols, processing means (11) in signal communication with the display means (15), and configured for controlling said display means (15) in a manner such that they will display a screen where at least one first symbol is selected among a plurality of available symbols, a rotary crown (3, 3', 3'') associated with the case, and motion detection means (13, 13', 18) configured for detecting at least the rotary motion of the crown (3, 3', 3 ''), wherein the motion detection means (13,13') are in signal communication with the processing means (11), and wherein said processing means (11) are also configured for controlling the display means (15) in a manner such that, when the crown (3, 3', 3'') is turned, at least one other symbol, different from the first symbol, will be selected among a plurality of available symbols.
Abstract:
A method is described for the transmission and reception of digital terrestrial television signals, said signals comprising a plurality of radiotelevision programs or services receivable by a television receiver in a certain frequency band, wherein at least a portion of said frequency band has been discontinued for the digital terrestrial television signals and assigned to a different service, in particular to a mobile telephony service, such as the LTE type, wherein it is provided to receive said radiotelevision programs or services whose contents are transmitted through Internet type signals that are converted into radiotelevision signals of the terrestrial digital broadcasting type and placed in channels belonging to said portion of said frequency band, said digital terrestrial television signals not being radiated, but conveyed to said receiver via a coaxial cable distribution system.
Abstract:
A method is described for selecting and displaying, on or through a television signal receiver apparatus (1) capable of connecting to Internet (10) and of pointing to URL's (21), television programs (19) transmitted through an Internet network (10), said method comprises the step of associating at least one URL (21), or Uniform Resource Locator, corresponding to streaming audio/video of a specific television program (19), with the same television program (19) of an EPG (17), or Electronic Program Guide, received by said apparatus (1) via television broadcast, and wherein said association requires that said URL (21) be stored into a memory-type processing circuit (8) of the apparatus (1) to create a link between said specific television program (19) received through said Internet network (10) and the same specific television program (19) of said EPG (17) received by said television receiver apparatus (1) via television broadcast.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wireless set (101), beacon apparatus (102), method and a computer program product for preventing the use of means (202) that can generate harmful interference in a prohibition area (105). A beacon (102) broadcasts a state signal (302), specifying prohibition or permission to use potentially harmful means (202), while its transmission range delimits the prohibition area (105) in which the prohibition applies. A beacon receiver (201), comprised in the wireless set (101) which also comprises potentially harmful means (202), is active only in a beacon location area (104), comprising at least a fraction of a prohibition area (105). The beacon location areas (104) are defined and stored in a digital memory (205) of the wireless set (101). According to the received state signal (302), the potentially harmful means (202) are induced to a deactivation state or to a regular operation state.
