A method of managing power in a power over data network, the method includes, obtaining a first request for modification of a power consumption profile of a device connected to the network, when the modification entails a raise in the power consumption profile, determining whether the first request can be satisfied with regards to a current consumption situation over the network, and when it is determined that the first request cannot be satisfied, triggering a broadcast over the network of a second request for lowering a power consumption profile of at least one device connected to the network, and getting back to said determination step.

Power management in a power over data network

A method for resetting at least one processing device in a power-over-data linear bus interconnecting a plurality of processing devices, the method including, at a first processing device of said plurality of processing devices: sending a protocol data unit comprising a prior-reset notification to all other processing devices of the plurality of processing devices, and sending a physical reset signal to all other processing devices of the plurality of processing devices, wherein the prior-reset notification is configured to prevent a processing device that receives the physical reset signal from resetting, if the protocol data unit comprising the prior-reset notification has been previously processed by the processing device.

Method and device for resetting at least one processing device

A power management module for managing power supply from a power sourcing equipment item to an associated apparatus, which includes a connexion interface suitable for connecting the power management module to the associated apparatus for estimating a power that the power management module is able to supply via the connexion interface, negotiating, based on the power estimated by the means for estimating power, the start-up of the associated apparatus in a power class, the means for negotiating comprising means for supplying power via the connexion interface, determining an updated power that the power management module is able to supply, when power is supplied to the associated apparatus by said means for supplying power, and re-negotiating the start-up of the associated apparatus based on the determined updated power.

Power management module and method for managing power supply

An antenna system having a cylindrical electromagnetic lens configured to guide at least one electromagnetic signal to an emerging area by means of at least a variation in dielectric permittivity, thereby generating a beam output from the emerging area. The antenna system has a dielectric member configured to receive the beam output from the emerging area and to focus the beam in an elevation plane perpendicular to a planar face of the cylindrical electromagnetic lens. The cylindrical electromagnetic lens is received in a conductive mounting, and the mounting carries the dielectric member.

Antenna system

A multimedia interface device for the transfer of information in a communications network comprises:

Multimedia interface device, information processing method corresponding information carrier and computer program

A connection device that is capable of receiving a corresponding connection plug comprises a housing, an electronic board connected to at least one cable of a communications network capable of conveying data as well as electrical energy. This device comprises a movable part between the housing and the electronic board comprising conductive elements used to make the link between the electrical contacts of the plug and the electrical contacts of the electronic board, the movable part taking at least two positions, a first position known as a position of insertion or withdrawal of the plug, in which the link for the passage of electrical energy cannot be made, and a second position known as a position of operation in which the inserted plug is held and the link for the passage of electrical energy can be made.
