Transmission device including at least one electric conductor for the transmission of an AC signal and a dielectric material at least partly surrounding the at least one conductor. The dielectric material includes dipoles. The device further includes a dipole orienting system adapted to orient the dipoles and to force the dipoles in a saturation regime in order to limit the movement of the dipoles when the at least one electric conductor conducts an AC signal.

System for use in combination with a remote node powered by a first number of lines, each line thereof being capable of providing power to the remote node in an active state of the line and not being capable of providing power to the remote node in a non-active state of the line; said system comprising: a second number of convertors; and a power control part configured for controlling the power provided by each line of said first number of lines to a converter of said second number of converters, in function of the time, depending of the states of the first number of lines.

System for use in a reverse powered remote node and method for reverse powering a remote node

System for producing a system clock signal comprising a local oscillator configured to generate a first clock signal; a temperature detector configured to detect a temperature change above a critical value in an area including the local oscillator; an obtaining module configured to obtain a second clock signal; a clock generator configured to generate the system clock signal in a first manner, using the first clock signal, in a normal mode when the temperature detector does not detect a temperature change above the critical value, and in a second manner different from the first manner, using the second clock signal, in a reverse hold-over mode when the temperature detector has detected a temperature change above the critical value.

System for producing a system clock and temperature gradient detection system

In accordance with an embodiment, the coupling arrangement includes adders for adding a common-mode signal to a differential-mode signal and amplification units for individually and evenly amplifying input signals present on their input terminals, thereby yielding amplified common-and-differential-mode signals. Coupling units with capacitive coupling are configured to pass the amplified common-and-differential-mode signals towards a wire pair.

A redundant synchronous clock distribution system is provided comprising at least a first and a second clock module and first and second clock distribution branches adapted for synchronizing at least one clock slave module connected downstream to the redundant synchronous clock distribution system. Each of the first and second clock modules are adapted to act as a master clock module or a slave clock module. A clock switchover module is adapted to switch each of the first and second clock modules to change between the master mode and the slave mode. The clock switchover module comprises a flip-flop-circuit having a first circuit part and a second circuit part, wherein the first circuit part is located on the first clock module and the second circuit part is located on the second clock module.
