Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant d'adapter l'impédance dans un circuit d'un dispositif de communication xDSL (140) de façon à améliorer la suppression du bruit provenant de fuites entre les signaux de transmission et les signaux de réception. Ce système d'adaptation d'impédance comprend un transformateur (350) conçu pour coupler une impédance (360), sensiblement égale à une impédance de ligne (380), à un transformateur de couplage de ligne (340), et il peut être appliqué à toutes les topologies hybrides connues. Idéalement, le transformateur (350) est adapté le plus étroitement possible au transformateur de couplage de ligne (340). Cette technique permet d'améliorer nettement l'adaptation d'impédance dans le système hybride, et par là même les performances des dispositifs de communication xDSL.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-dimensionally coding and/or decoding an information to/from a lattice structure representing bit positions of said coded information in at least two dimensions. Encoding and/or decoding is performed by using a close-packed lattice structure, preferably a quasi-hexagonal lattice structure. In particular, at least partial quasi-hexagonal clusters consisting of one central bit and a plurality of nearest neighboring bits can be defined, and a code constraint can be applied such that for each of said at least partial quasi-hexagonal clusters a predetermined minimum number of said nearest neighboring bits are of the same bit state as said central bit. Thereby, intersymbol interferences can be minimized at a high code efficiency. Furthermore, another code constraint can be applied such that for each of said at least partial quasi-hexagonal clusters a predetermined minimum number of said nearest neighboring bits are of the opposite bit state as said central bit. This constraint provides an advantageous high pass characteristic to avoid large areas of channel bits of the same type.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de former un film mince à basse température à l'aide d'impulsions de plasma. Selon le mode de réalisation décrit dans cette invention, alors qu'un gaz de purge ou qu'un gaz de purge réactif activé par plasma est alimenté en continu dans un réacteur, un gaz source est alimenté par intermittence dans le même réacteur, pendant que du plasma est généré dans le réacteur afin de provoquer la réaction du gaz source et du gaz de purge activé par plasma, ce qui permet de former un film mince. En outre, la présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de former une couche mince d'un film contenant plusieurs éléments métalliques, un procédé permettant de former un film métallique mince contenant diverses substances par quantité d'éléments métalliques à l'aide d'un supercycle Tsupercycle consistant en une combinaison de simples cycles Tcycle,  , d'alimentation en gaz et un procédé permettant de former un film mince contenant des compositions variables d'éléments constitutifs à l'aide d'un supercycle Tsupercycle consistant en une combinaison de simples cycles Tcycle,  , d'alimentation en gaz. Les procédés décrits dans la présente invention permettent de raccourcir la durée du cycle de purge, même si la réactivité entre les gaz sources est élevée, afin de réduire la quantité de contaminants générés par le gaz restant dans le réacteur, et de former un film mince à basse température même si la réactivité entre les gaz sources est faible. Les procédés susmentionnés permettent également d'augmenter la vitesse de formation de film mince.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a total-power microwave radiometer for a satellite uses a cold
calibration source, a hot calibration source and a receiver. The method has the steps of
measuring with the receiver the brightness temperatures of the hot calibration source having a
temperature of T hot1 , the hot calibration source having a temperature of T hot2  where T hot1  and T hot2 
are different temperatures, and the cold calibration source, calculating for these measured values
the standard deviation ΔT hot1 , ΔT hot2  and ΔT cold , and calibrating the total-power microwave
radiometer for a satellite by defining the brightness temperature of the cold calibration source as:
 T cold  = [(ΔT hol1  - ΔT cold ) T hot2 -( ΔT hot2 -ΔT cold ) T hot1 ]/( ΔT hot1 -ΔT hot2 ).   
     The method makes it possible to calibrate the colder part of the total-power microwave
radiometer for a satellite frequently and accurately.
