    Abstract: There is disclosed a system for locating an object on a surface waveguide. The surface waveguide is made of one or more 1D wires and/or 2D waveguides comprising conductive elements arranged in patterns. Emitters with known positions can couple with receivers coupled with the surface waveguide. The position of receivers can be determined, for example by multilateration or signal strength indication. Conductive elements can be sprayed or sewed or otherwise deposited onto surfaces such as a ground floor, a sidewalk or a road lane. Described developments comprise the use of absorbers, protective layers, unidirectional emitters, contactless coupling, and various arrangements comprising frequency-selective layers, arrangements in lattices, trellis or anisotropic surfaces. Signal processing aspects and software embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: An add-on device configured to reduce the power level of reflected paths of GNSS signals reaching a GNSS receiver's antenna, the associated GNSS receiver set, some equipment embedding the add-on device, and the associated method to reduce the power level of reflected GNSS signals are provided. The GNSS signals are transmitted according to a first polarization, and the add-on device comprises a material configured to be transparent to the first polarization and to reflect GNSS signals polarized according to a second polarization orthogonal to the first polarization.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for characterizing at least one optical aberration of an optical system of an image acquisition device, the optical system having an associated optical transfer function that is dependent on the aberrations, the image acquisition device being capable of acquiring at least two images in a field of image capture in a manner so as to introduce a differential aberration between the two images, each image being defined by a digital image signal. The method includes the obtaining (50) of a first image and a second image of a same given zone of the field of image capture, the second image being acquired with a differential aberration (Δaberr) relative to the first image, each image acquisition having an associated optical transfer function. An optical aberration is characterized (58, 60) by the calculation of at least one parameter by minimization of a functional expressed as a function of the first and second images acquired, from a modelling of the optical transfer functions associated with the two image acquisitions dependent on the aberrations of the image acquisition device as well as on the differential aberration (Δaberr).

    Abstract: A telecommunications satellite stabilized on three axes includes a set of dissipative equipment constituting a payload of the satellite. The satellite includes support data transmission antennas and is substantially parallelepipedal in shape with the panels forming two opposite faces, east and west faces. The panels form two additional opposite faces, north and south faces, and include radiator surfaces on their external faces. The radiator surfaces are configured to cool the electronic equipment of the satellite. The equipment installed on the north and south panels dissipate thermal power corresponding to less than 25% of the total dissipated power.

    Abstract: A deformable mirror comprises a deformable membrane extending at rest in a first plane and having a reflecting front face and a back face opposite the front face, a supporting structure, an actuator having a first and second end, the first end fixed to the supporting structure, the second end displaced relative to the first end on a first axis substantially at right angles to the first plane to exert, on the back face, an axial load on the first axis, to locally deform the deformable membrane. The mirror comprises a plate that is substantially flat in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane, positioned between the actuator and deformable membrane, linked to the back face and deformed when the actuator exerts the axial load, and the plate is rigid in the second plane to take up loads applied to the mirror in the second plane.

    Abstract: The positioning signals broadcast by GNSS constellations are affected by significant errors, notably due to the crossing of the ionospheric layer or of the tropospheric layer. Several unwieldy means have been deployed to provide professional users with corrections of said errors. These means, however, all require the knowledge of at least one precise reference point at a given distance. According to the invention, positioning receivers that are not very precise, such as smartphones, present in a geographical zone, of unknown precise position, can contribute to the production of precise atmospheric error corrections if said receivers are sufficiently numerous.
