20090121145 | Particle detection circuit comprising basic circuits forming subpixels - The particle detection circuit comprises a plurality of basic circuits. Each basic circuit comprises a particle detector element connected to an associated counter and a summing circuit having a first input connected to the output of the counter. Basic circuits, each forming a subpixel, are grouped together by series connection of their summing circuits to form a pixel. The output of the pixel, formed by the output of the summing circuit of a last basic circuit of the pixel, supplies counting signals representative of the number of particles detected by the set of basic circuits of the pixel. Disabling certain basic circuits of the pixel, by selective zero resetting of the first input of their summing circuit, can enable only the particles detected by certain zones of the pixel to be counted. | 05-14-2009 |
20110001519 | SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING CHARGE INTO VOLTAGE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THIS SYSTEM - The invention relates to controlling a device for converting charge into voltage comprising an amplifier and at least one capacitor mounted in inverse feedback between an input and an output of said amplifier, whereby said amplifier can be connected between at least one input stage, to receive a charge therefrom, and at least one output stage to deliver voltage thereto, said voltage being representative of the charge received at the input, said method comprising at least one phase comprising the voltage conversion of a charge received at the input. According to the invention the conversion phase comprises at least: one first sub-phase during which the amplifier is connected to the input stage and the amplifier is disconnected from the output stage; followed, by a second sub-phase during which the amplifier is disconnected from the input stage and the amplifier is connected to the output stage. | 01-06-2011 |

20110119482 | Method and system for establishing a communications pipe between a personal security device and a remote computer system - A method and a system is provided for establishing a communications path over a communications network between a personal security device (PSD) and a remote computer system without requiring the converting of high-level messages such as API-level messages to PSD-formatted messages such as APDU-formatted messages (and inversely) to be installed on a local client device in which the PSD is connected. | 05-19-2011 |
20120173637 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE ACTIVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF PERSONAL SECURITY DEVICES - Managing a Personal Security Device (PSD) includes retrieving proprietary information from a remote storage location using a first Remote Computer System, providing at least one Client as a host to the PSD and establishing a communications pipe over a first network between the PSD and the Remote Computer System. The communications pipe communicates with the PSD through the Client. Managing a PSD also includes transmitting the proprietary information from the Remote Computer System to the PSD by sending a PSD-formatted message through the communications pipe, where the proprietary information provided in the PSD-formatted message and passing through the Client is at least partially inaccessible by the Client, processing the PSD-formatted messages at the PSD to extract the proprietary information and storing the proprietary information in the PSD. | 07-05-2012 |
