    Abstract: An optical device (10) for determining a physical parameter includes: a laser diode (11) for emitting a beam toward a target; an element for detecting (13) an interferometric signal SM(t) which includes the information on the physical parameter to be determined, and which is generated by an interference between the emitted beam and a light beam reflected by the target; element for converting (15) the signal SM(t) obtained by the detection element (13) into a measurement of the physical parameter, the conversion element (15) including: first element (17) for suppressing a continuous component Off(t) of the interferometric signal SM(t); second element (18) for determining interferometric peaks in the interferometric signal SM(t) obtained from the signal obtained at the output of the first element (17). An associated method, particularly suitable for speckle interferometric signals is also described.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a solid lignocellulosic material (1), referred to as a composite material, seeded with at least one organism (2), referred to as a filamentous fungus, which is a mycelium-forming multicellular eukaryote, in which:



    at least one solid lignocellulosic material (3) impregnated with an aqueous composition (5) is subjected to a treatment (6), known as a thermomechanical treatment, in which

    said at least one impregnated lignocellulosic material (3) is subjected to a succession of mechanical compression, expansion and shearing phases by blending at least one solid lignocellulosic material (4) of said at least one impregnated lignocellulosic material (3), in contact with the aqueous composition (5);
    said at least one impregnated lignocellulosic material (3) is brought to a temperature above 50° C.;

    whereby a composition (7), referred to as a hydrated composition, comprising a solid lignocellulosic material (8), referred to as hydrated lignocellulosic material, the specific surface area and moisture content of which are increased relative to the specific surface area and moisture content of said at least one starting lignocellulosic material (4), is formed, said hydrated lignocellulosic material (8) being suitable for being colonized by said at least one filamentous fungus (2); and then



    a composition, known as a fungal composition (9), comprising said filamentous fungus (2) is added to said hydrated composition (7) during blending;

    in which process the successive steps are performed continuously in at least one twin-screw extruder (10).

    Abstract: A local control-unit operable as a master or a slave comprises: a memory indicative of whether the converter sub-unit is enabled or disabled; and an enable; a wake-up output; a communication link input and output interfaces configured to receive and to send master/slave information; and a further communication link input and output interfaces, configured to both enable current balancing and phase interleaving with other enabled converter sub-units; and being adapted and configured to: in response to the respective local output current being higher than a first threshold, send a wake-up request to the next converter sub-unit; and in response to (a) being a slave sub-unit; (b) the respective local output current being lower than a second threshold, and (c) receiving master/slave information indicative that the next enabled sub-unit is a master sub-unit, disabling itself. Methods of operating the same are also disclosed.
