The invention relates to a method to embed a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) directly into a moulded plastic piece (also designated as plastic object), the embedding of the paper-based electronic circuit and the production of the plastic piece being performed in a single operation. The invention thus also relates to a method to manufacture plastic objects embedding such label. The invention also concerns a plastic object encompassing a label essentially consisting of a paper substrate carrying electronic inks and/or a printed electronic circuit and/or device (thereby achieving a paper-based electronic circuit) embedded in the moulded plastic and in particular an object obtained by the method disclosed to prepare a moulded plastic piece.

A device for the culturing and/or isolation and/or detection and/or identification and/or counting of at least one target microorganism in a sample liable to contain it, which includes a support and a nutrient medium; the support including: a hydrophilic fibrous substrate, at least one porous layer in contact with one of the faces of the fibrous substrate, including a pigment or a mixture of pigments and at least one binder, the pigment having a size of less than 5 &#x3bc;m and the amount of the pigment or the mixture of pigments being between 50 and 97% by dry weight, with respect to the dry weight of the porous layer; the nutrient medium being included in the fibrous substrate. Also relates to the use and to the process for the manufacture of the device.

Device for the culturing of microorganisms and associated process

The method for producing a electroconductive sheet having a substrate, in particular made of paper, and an electroconductive layer include the steps of: a/ preparing a multi-layer structure with an anti-adhesive coating inserted between a plastic film and a base layer, b/ cross-laminating the multi-layer structure and the substrate, and c/ removing the plastic film and the anti-adhesive coating from the base layer. The base layer is a layer of an electroconductive material or is covered with an electroconductive layer by an additional step consisting of: d1/ depositing an electroconductive film on the base layer; or d2/ printing the base layer with at least one ink having electrical properties, with the base layer being a printable layer with a binder base of which the rate is 15% greater in dry weight in relation to the total dry matter weight of this layer.

Method for producing a sheet

A method of fabricating a smooth or ultra-smooth printable sheet, the method comprising the steps consisting in: preparing a multilayer structure () having at least one bottom plastics film (), one anti-adhesive intermediate layer (), and one printable top layer (), pasting one face () of a substrate () or the top face () of the printable layer, and applying the substrate onto the printable layer in order to laminate them together, then withdrawing the plastics film from the printable layer, the printable layer () defining a smooth or ultra-smooth face () on the sheet.

Printable sheet that is ultra-smooth and recyclable, and its method of fabrication

The invention relates to a receiving station () comprising a first physical connection port () intended for a first host equipment item and at least one second physical connection port () intended for at least one second host equipment item, detection means () of host equipment connected to the ports, and the means () of automatic selection of combined use modes of the resources of the receiving station and/or connected host equipment, controlled by the detection means (). Application to handheld portable equipment.

Receiving station for mobile host equipment, and method of sharing resources using the station

A multimedia data organization process, i.e. creation, of a photo album or slideshow, said multimedia data being represented by contingent individuals () of an instantiated ontology that in addition to generic individuals (EC, C, F, M, T, A) comprises semantic links between individuals, comprising: &#x2014;the presentation to the user of the choice of at least one individual from the instantiated ontology, and in response to a user-prompted choice, &#x2014;the selection and organization of a subset of multimedia data corresponding to the contingent individuals of the instantiated ontology according to at least one selection and/or organization rule engaging the user-chosen individual and the related semantic links.

Process for organizing multimedia data

A process for using a terminal capable of capturing images to determine a probability of capturing the images according to information taken from contextual data provided by the image capture means. The process uses a terminal such as a mobile terminal comprising a first image data sensor and at least one contextual data sensor to automatically determine at least one probability of capturing an image or a sequence of images taking place within a time interval, the capture probability being calculated based on at least one response provided by one of the activated image data and/or contextual data sensors.

Process for automatically determining a probability of image capture with a terminal using contextual data

The invention relates to a method of annotation of images captured by a digital camera equipped with a previewing means, comprising:

Camera and method for creating annotated images

A method of distributing multimedia data from a central distribution station to local equipment including: linking one image characteristic () with at least one set of multimedia data stored by the central distribution station respectively; making available to at least one user of a support () having at least one selection image () in response to the capture of at least one image of the support by the local equipment, and calculating a characteristic of the captured image; searching for a multimedia data set of the central station linked to the image characteristic closest to the characteristic calculated; transferring of the corresponding multimedia data to the local equipment.

Method of distributing multimedia data to equipment provided with an image sensor

In order to present digital images on different types of screens, and especially on low definition screens, the system provides a server that is adapted for receiving messages coming from at least one display device, and a table for recognizing the type of display device with which the server is communicating. The server performs a transformation for adapting the definition of the image that is transmitted to the type of display screen that is recognized.

Method and device for presenting digital images on a low-definition screen

A method to transmit drawings or images comprising text to low display ability terminals, and more particularly to cellular phones or equivalent mobile devices. The transmission is possible in the best conditions and automatically. The transmission enables the consultation or display by the user of these drawings or images comprising text, on a low display ability terminal. These images can have the form of a plate of several images or an individual image comprising text. This operation is possible by automatically transforming the drawings or images via image analysis into image entities formed by an image zone and a text zone; and without requiring any extra work by the publisher or author of the drawings or images comprising text.

Process for sending images to a low display ability terminal

The present invention concerns a method for managing a quick distribution of images. The method comprises the following steps: receiving, from a user, at least one image associated with a messaging system address; digitizing said at least one image when the image is not in digital form; storing said at least one image on a server; and sending a message to the messaging system address associated with said at least one image giving the information that said at least one image is available on the server.

Method for managing a quick distribution of images

The system comprises a server capable of sending images to a cellphone fitted with a display screen and sensors for generating a signal dependent on user's physiological parameters. The series of images supplied by the server is according to the user, by the prior acquisition of a user profile and at least one item of physiological data for this user transmitted by the sensor, so as to change unconsciously the user's psychophysiological state.
