Abstract: Cette invention concerne un bioréacteur permettant d'obtenir la digestion anaérobique continue ou sensiblement continue de matières organiques. Ce bioréacteur est de préférence une unité autonome de petite taille (10) idéale pour un usage domestique ou industriel à petite échelle. Le bioréacteur comprend une chambre de réaction principale (40) servant à la digestion de matières organiques, ainsi que deux antichambres (36, 38) disposées entre un orifice d'admission (16) de matières organiques et la chambre de réaction principale (40). Les chambres sont disposées de façon que les matières organiques puissent entrer par l'orifice d'admission, traverser les antichambres puis entrer dans la chambre de réaction principale sous l'effet de la gravité. Des matières organiques supplémentaires peuvent être introduites dans le bioréacteur par l'orifice d'admission dans la première antichambre sans que cela affecte de façon substantielle le niveau d'oxygène continu dans la chambre de réaction principale, ce qui permet de maintenir l'efficacité du taux de production de méthane pendant la digestion dans la chambre principale. Le bioréacteur peut être couplé à un tuyau d'écoulement d'eaux usées d'une habitation domestique.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cryptographic method wherein a random number generator producing random numbers Si whose size N is fixed between 0 and W-1 is used to produce a random number R between 0 and a predefined limiter K. According to the invention: E31: a random variable Si is produced, ranging from 0 -W-1, E32: if the random variable Si is strictly lower than a coefficient Ki of the limiter K in base W, the coefficient Ri of order i of the random number R is equal to the random number Si then, for all orders j which are lower than i, a random variable Sj of 0 - W-1 is produced and Rj = Sj. E33: unless, if said random variable is greater than coefficient Ki of position i of the limiter K in base W, whereupon said coefficient Ri is determined on the basis of the random variable Si of order i according to a predetermined function, then a coefficient Ri-1 is determined for the random number R of order i-1 which is immediately lower by repeating stages E31 - E33.  The invention also relates to an electronic component which is adapted for implementation of said method and a chip card with said component integrated therein. The invention can be applied to cryptographic calculation.

Abstract: An electric motor (100) having an armature (102) which includes a coating of thermally conductive plastic applied in a conventional injection molding process. The armature (102) also includes a fan (122) which is integrally formed from the thermally conductive plastic applied to the armature (102). This completely eliminates the need to apply one or more coatings of a trickle resin to the armature (102). It also eliminates the need to separately form and secure a fan (122) by a suitable adhesive to the armature (102), which together significantly simplifies the manufacturing and cost of the armature (102). The plastic coating also better fills the spaces between the magnet wires (110), thus promoting even more efficient cooling and better holding of the magnet wires (110) stationary relative to one another. The thermally conductive plastic coating may be mixed with other suitable materials to provide a density approximately equal to the magnet wires (110). This eliminates the need to balance the armature (102) after the injection molding step.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a support, an oxygen storage-and-release member, and a noble metal. The support includes a zeolite, whose silicon-to-aluminum (Si/Al) molar ratio is 150 or less, and a metallic oxide support. The noble metal is loaded at least on the support and outside the pores of the zeolite. Thus, no noble metal is loaded in the pores of the zeolite. 
Accordingly, sulfates are inhibited from generating in the pores, and the pores are inhibited from being closed by the sulfates. Hence, even after a durability test, the catalyst keeps to exhibit a high HC adsorbing ability, and is improved in terms of the NO x  purifying ability. Two processes for producing the catalyst are also disclosed.

Abstract: The application relates to a presence system. Presence information of current presence systems is limited to device status and are not able to determine the presentity's status for each real-time communications applications. The application defines a so-called media status which is a function of the maximum number of simultaneous communication sessions a presentity can engage in. 
A presence server (100) determines a presentity's media status and availability for engaging in real-time communication sessions in a presence system by receiving, from the presentity, a maximum number (210) of real-time interactions per real-time media types supported by the presentity, and collecting presence information (220) identifying real-time communication sessions currently engaged in by the presentity. The presence server (100) determines the media status (240) for each of the real-time media types supported by the presentity based on the maximum number (210) of interactions and the presence information (220), and determines available (240) realtime media types from the determined media statuses.
