    Abstract: An antenna arrangement that is designed to match, or approach based on a cost function, a specification includes a list of a plurality of predefined frequencies and, possibly a list of predefined bandwidths at a matching level. The antenna arrangement is designed using a plurality of predefined elements comprising a primary conductive element defined as a main trunk and a combination of secondary conductive elements selected from trunks, branches or leaves. The primary conductive element and the secondary conductive elements are defined by design parameters that comprise a susceptance that is a function of a geometry, a form factor, a main dimension, an orientation of the secondary conductive elements relative to the primary conductive element and a position of the secondary conductive elements on the primary conductive element. The antenna arrangement may be further defined to match a predefined form factor.

    Abstract: A method for producing an expanded rigid foam with sealed pores includes at least the following steps: a) a mixture is prepared containing at least: an anionic polymer suited for ionotropic gelation; a foaming agent; a source of multivalent cations, said multivalent cations not being released in the mixture a); and a solvent; b) the mixture is stirred so as to obtain a foam; c) a compound capable of releasing protons in a sufficient amount to release said multivalent cations is added to the foam such that the anionic polymer gels ionotropically; d) the foam is dried. A foam is obtained in this manner and an object (for example a package, a heat-insulating or flame-retardant material) is made from this foam.

    Abstract: A method of determining a performance metric for a selection of a first user and a second user among a set of candidate users for attribution to a sub-band in a multiple access communications system based on Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), is provided wherein the first user (k1) and the second user (k2) are selected as the pair of candidate users corresponding to an extremum of the ratio between a first term reflecting the total throughput achievable by any pair of the candidate users assigned to the sub-band (s) under consideration, and a second term reflecting the known throughput achieved by that same pair of candidate users over a predetermined preceding period. Implementations include a method of determining a performance metric is presented for attributing users to one or more of a plurality of sub-bands in a multiple access communications system, wherein in an initial assignment phase for a specific sub-band, a first user is selected for that band on the basis of one or more criteria such as user priority. Then a second sub-band user maximizing or minimizing the performance metric.

    Abstract: A method for locating at least one receiver within a positioning system, the system including: at least two transmitters, each transmitter emitting a signal including a carrier modulated by a code, and a receiver that is movable and configured to detect the signals, method in which: during the movement of the receiver from an estimated predefined initial position, consecutive measurements are taken of the phase of the carrier of the signal emitted by each transmitter, for various subsequent positions of the receiver, the variations in the phase of the carrier of the signals between each subsequent position of the receiver for which the phase was measured and the estimated initial position of the receiver is calculated for each transmitter, and these phase variations are used to calculate the variation in distance between the receiver and the transmitters, in order to determine the real initial position of the receiver.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a mode selection method for a system for MIMO transmission on an optical fiber of multimode type. It comprises a step of measuring the transfer matrix of the transmission channel made up of a set of modes of the optical fiber (110), a step of transforming (120) the transfer matrix into a block diagonal matrix, each block being associated with a mode subset, a step of determining (130) the gain and/or the transmission capacity for each of the mode subsets, and a selection (140) of the mode subset corresponding to the highest gain and/or capacity, the MIMO transmission system then using only the modes of the subset thus selected to transmit on the optical fiber.The invention relates also to a core selection method for a system for MIMO transmission on optical fiber of multicore type.
