Title: Method of using a multi-purpose credit card
Inventor: RICHARDIER MARTIN
IPC: G07F7/02
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: The credit card may be a chip, magnetic, key card or similar which can be used on a product sale, service or distribution system of the type having in a metallic enclosure a computer (9) data processing system, a data reader with liquid crystal screen (3), a product selector with keyboard (4), means for accepting coins (2), notes (8) or electronic payment (7).  The computer can be connected to machines and devices (6) for storing in quantity and delivering a product. The computer (9) detects the presence of a credit card via a card reader or similar connect to and immediately reads any non coded identification number preferably the fabrication number series and checks if the number is known (stored in memory) or unknown. If the number is not known by the computer (9) it is duplicated in its memory by associating it with a file which remains open during the presence of the card in the system. The duplication is conditional, as a minimum, upon the actuation of a commend and/or the detection by the computer of a payment via payments by coin, note or electronically (2,7,8). The data relative to the payment is immediately recorded in the file. If the identification number is known by the computer (9) it identifies and opens the associated file and the credit card is in the reader (1a,7) any payment passed into the system modifies the relative data in the open file. The data is transmitted to the computer (9) by connections from the means of payment

Title: Method for elaborating a transmission signal and transmitter with amplifying cells for implementing same
Inventor: URSENBACH FRANCOIS
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: The invention concerns transmitters wherein the output signal is obtained by summing signals with predetermined discrete levels supplied by several amplifying cells (31 to 3n). If a signal is to be transmitted with an amplitude A and a phase ζ0, the method consists in using a control circuit (2) to determine (α) a sufficient number of amplifying cells to obtain slightly more than value A with phase ζ0 but to carry out an adjustment in phase (β) such that at least two of the cells are out of shift one fast and the other slow relative to ζ0, so that the total sum of signals delivered by the cells gives the signal A, ζ0. The invention is applicable to amplifying cells with discrete output levels.

Title: Commande de distorsion
Inventor: KENINGTON PETER
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un circuit de commande d'un générateur de prédistorsion qui délivre des signaux de commande d'amplitude et/ou phase permettant de commander un générateur de prédistorsion utilisé, par exemple, pour linéariser un amplificateur R.F. non linéaire. Lorsqu'ils sont mis en oeuvre avec un tel amplificateur R.F. non linéaire, ces circuits de commande de la prédistorsion effectuent un échantillonnage à la fois de l'entrée pure de l'amplificateur R.F. non linéaire (710) et de sa sortie déformée (724). Les deux signaux échantillonnés sont élevés au carré par des détecteurs (716), (730) ayant une fonction d'élévation au carré. Le carré du signal représentant l'entrée pure de l'amplificateur R.F. à linéariser est alors élevé une autre fois au carré (722) de manière à donner un signal ayant des termes de référence du quatrième ordre et le signal résultant est corrélé (746, 752) au carré du signal représentant la sortie déformée de l'amplificateur à linéariser aux fins de la génération de signaux de commande d'amplitude et/ou de phase. Ces circuits de commande du générateur de prédistorsion peuvent mettre en oeuvre des processus d'annulation de tonalité principale (344, 352, Fig. 3) et peuvent être conçus pour admettre de faibles fréquences d'entrée (Figure 4).
