20100148790 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHARACTERISING SENSITIVITY TO ENERGY INTERACTIONS IN AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT - To analyse an electric component in depth, provision is made to submit said component to focused laser radiation. It is shown that by modifying the altitude of the focus in the component, some internal parts of said component can be characterized more easily. | 06-17-2010 |
20100280785 | METHOD FOR TESTING A SOFTWARE APPLICATION - To test a software application, a method submits an electronic board including a component implementing an application to a laser radiation generated in test equipment. The component is excited with laser pulses having very short durations distributed during complex operational phases of the component for running the application, and the reaction of the component and the application are observed. | 11-04-2010 |
20100289501 | METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING THE SENSITIVITY OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT TO ENERGETIC INTERACTIONS - The behavior of a component subjected to pulsed laser radiation is measured. The polarization value, frequency, and temperature (or other operating conditions) to which the component is sensitive are determined by detecting a temporary or permanent fault in the operation of the component. If necessary, the parasitic currents generated are prevented from destroying the tested component at the time of testing. A susceptibility of the component to energetic interactions and the preferred operating conditions for the component are deduced. | 11-18-2010 |
20110043245 | COMPONENT PROVIDED WITH AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPRISING A CRYPTOROCESSOR AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION THEREOF - In order to protect an integrated circuit provided with a cryptoprocessor from attacks aiming to reveal secrets, it is anticipated to use a component sensitive to the activation of a parasitic (latchup) thyristor and/or to the activation of a parasitic bipolar transistor, or to design a circuit having this property. If the component is stressed due to the presence of this circuit, it is immediately deactivated, actually preventing the revelation of the secrets thereof. | 02-24-2011 |
20110298332 | ELECTRIC GENERATOR EXCITED BY IONIZING RADIATIONS - The invention relates to an electric generator sensitive to ionizing radiation produced by the reverse mounting of a diode in parallel between a reverse polarization stack and a pulse converter or only with a pulse converter. A generator is thus provided that can be used inside a spacecraft or in the atmosphere by using cosmic radiation, or in an environment containing ionizing radiation such as in the medical or nuclear fields, and which is preferably directly mounted on a printed circuit board receiving a remote sensor. | 12-08-2011 |
20120284006 | METHOD OF DETERMINING THE PARTICLE SENSITIVITY OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - To analyze an electronic component, this component is exposed to a focused laser beam. The information provided by the laser mapping relating to the position and to the depth of the sensitivity zones of the component is used as input parameter in prediction codes for quantifying the sensitivity of the mapped component to ionizing particles in the natural radioactive environment. The prediction codes are used to determine the occurrence of malfunctions in the electronic component. Determination of the risks associated with the radiative environment imposes two aspects: one, probabilistic, takes into account the particle/matter interaction and the other, electrical, takes into account the charge collection inside the electronic component. | 11-08-2012 |
20150141852 | Detection Device for Bedding for Sleep Monitoring - A detection device, for placement under or on a mattress, configured for the movements of a person lying on the mattress, includes a sensing portion having an inflatable chamber intended to be positioned under the individual, an electronic unit arranged at a distance from the sensing portion and having a pressure sensor, intended to be positioned outside of the bedding, a transmitting portion interposed between the sensing portion and the electronic unit, including a channel establishing a fluid connection between the inflatable chamber and the sensor, the channel having a transverse dimension (T) that is much smaller than the width (L | 05-21-2015 |
20150160068 | Weighing Device and Method - Electronic scale including four feet, four strain gauges, an electronic control unit and a display, where the gauges are combined in pairs in first and second Wheatstone bridge type circuits, where a first intermediate-point of the bridge is selectively connected via a switch to an intermediate voltage source and where the first and second outputs of the amplifiers are summed by the electronic control unit in order to deduce therefrom a weight for an object present on the device, with indication for the user of off-center condition on the scale. Weighing method implemented in such a scale. | 06-11-2015 |
