The resonant structure is formed with two coupled cavities which follow along the axis (Z) of the beam, the coupling being achieved via an inter-cavity region crossed by the beam, this structure having axial symmetry the axis of which is that of the beam and being dimensioned so that the transformation of the electrons in packets is accomplished at a frequency which is that of the π resonant mode of the resonant structure. | 04-15-2010 |

20100086838 | REFERENCE ELECTRODE, MANUFACTURING METHOD AND BATTERY COMPRISING SAME - A reference electrode having a casing with an inner cavity successively filled with a paste constituting an active material and a porous material impregnated with an electrolyte solution. The projecting end of a silver wire is embedded in the paste at the bottom of the inner cavity. The paste is constituted of a powder of a silver compound and of the alkaline electrolyte solution. The silver compound is any insoluble silver salt or oxide containing the negative ion of the electrolyte solution. The impregnated porous material is preferably constituted by a plurality of mat separator pieces mechanically and compressed by a closing plug, closing the inner cavity and forming a porous liquid junction. | 04-08-2010 |
20100085063 | METHOD OF DIAGNOSING DEFECTIVE ELEMENTS IN A STANDALONE SYSTEM, POWERED BY AN INTERMITTENT POWER SOURCE - The diagnostic method applies to a standalone system including a generator, a power regulator and a power storage element. The method includes comparison of the effective charging power or current of the power storage element respectively with a predefined power or current threshold. If the effective charging power or current is lower than said threshold, the power storage element is disconnected. An abnormal behavior is then detected either by comparing the effective charging power with the smaller of the values representative of the theoretical charging power of the power storage element and of the maximum power able to be delivered by the generator and comparing the effective and theoretical charging voltages, or by comparing the effective and theoretical charging currents. | 04-08-2010 |
