Title: Systeme optique permettant d'ameliorer la symetrie du faisceau emis par une diode laser a grande surface
Inventor: NIGHTINGALE JOHN LAWRENCE

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système optique (20) conçu pour améliorer la symétrie de luminosité d'un faisceau (10) émis par une diode laser, le faisceau (10) présentant une largeur (L) conséquente et une hauteur (H) faible. Le système optique (20) comprend une plaque basculante (22) permettant de déplacer vers le bas une moitié de la largeur du faisceau. Un premier prisme (30) de pointage du faisceau fait basculer la seconde moitié restante (14) de la largeur du faisceau dans un plan parallèle à la largeur de sorte que cette moitié (14) se rapproche de la première moitié (12). Un second prisme (32) de pointage du faisceau fait basculer la seconde moitié (14) du faisceau de sorte que son axe de propagation soit parallèle à celui de la première moitié (12), la seconde moitié (14) se trouvant au-dessus de la première (12). Le système optique (20) est conçu pour améliorer la symétrie de luminosité du faisceau (10) selon un facteur d'environ 5. Le faisceau corrigé peut être utilisé pour améliorer l'efficacité d'un laser à solide (112) qui est pompé longitudinalement par une diode laser à grande surface (106) ou une barre à diode laser.

Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif formé d'un élément tubulaire (16) et d'un plongeur (18) et destiné à l'insertion d'une lentille intraoculaire souple (12) dans un ÷il. L'élément tubulaire comprend une zone en gradins (45), une lumière et une extrémité distale ouverte (95). La zone en gradins porte la lentille sans contraintes avant l'action du plongeur. En l'absence de contraintes, l'optique (48) de la lentille est suspendue dans une poche afin d'éviter tout contact important avec les parties intérieures de l'élément tubulaire. Le plongeur comprend une fente (132) dans sa pointe distale, qui reçoit et maintient la lentille. Cette construction permet d'introduire la lentille dans l'÷il en un seul mouvement continu. Le plongeur maintient en outre la lentille lorsque celle-ci sort de l'élément tubulaire.

Abstract: L'invention présente un brûleur de précision permettant d'oxyder des composés dépourvus d'halogénure et contenant du silicium, tels que l'octaméthyl-cyclotétrasiloxane (OMCTS). Ce brûleur comporte un sous-ensemble (13) pouvant être monté avec précision sur un bloc de montage de brûleur (107) à l'aide d'un pion de centrage (158), une face en saillie (162) sur le bloc de montage de brûleur (107) et un évidement correspondant (160) à l'arrière du sous-ensemble (13). La face du brûleur est constituée de quatre régions concentriques pour l'émission de gaz: une première région centrale (36, 90) par où sort un mélange d'OMCTS et d'O2, une deuxième région constituant le bouclier interne (38, 92) par où sort N2, une troisième région constituant le bouclier externe (40, 42, 94, 96) par où sort O2 et une quatrième région de prémélange (44, 98) par où sort un mélange de CH4 et d'O2. Ce brûleur permet une utilisation plus rentable de matières brutes dépourvues d'halogénure et contenant du silicium que les brûleurs de la technique actuelle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the determination of polyvalent metal ions using a sandwich aggregation assay. One or more chelating agents capable of forming at least 2:1 or higher ratio stoichiometry complexes with polyvalent metal ions are attached to a suitable carrier such as latex particles through covalent bonds or by non-covalent interactions, such as hydrophobic interactions. Upon complexation with the metal ions, the carriers of the complexing agent aggregate, cause an increase in light absorbance or light scattering which is proportional to the concentration of metal ions in the test sample. The measurement of the light absorbance or light scattering by a suitable instrument, such as a spectrophotometer or nephelometer provides a means for measuring the concentration of metal ions.

Abstract: The demodulator receives input signals (XM,XP) of opposite signs which are applied to a mixer (10) with a standard signal (QR,QM) of preset frequency (f0). After an at least third order low-pass filter (12), a first signal (Y0) is produced which is frequency modulated about a transposition frequency (fT) equal to the difference between the intermediate and preset frequencies. A capacitative phase shifter (60) produces a second signal (Y2) and a first low-pass filter (110) eliminates its high frequency components. A second low-pass filter (120) identical to the first is applied to the first signal and the filter outputs are mixed (130,132) to produce the output in baseband. The IF is chosen to be between 440 and 500 kHz and the transposition frequency is chosen to be between 80 and 200 kHz with a third order low-pass cut-off between 200 and 300 kHz.

Abstract: In a disc molding die, a stationary base plate (15) is attached to a stationary platen, and a stationary mirror-surface plate (16) is attached to the stationary base plate (15). Further, a movable base plate (35) is attached to a movable platen, and a movable mirror-surface plate (36) is attached to the movable base plate (35). A stationary guide ring (18) is attached to the stationary base plate (15) so as to surround the stationary mirror-surface plate (16), while a movable guide ring (38) is attached to the movable base plate so as to surround the movable mirror-surface plate (36).

Abstract: Procédé d'oxydation locale multiple (LOCOS) consistant à modeler la surface d'un substrat pour former une série de régions de type planar, séparées verticalement les unes des autres. Selon une variante, une couche de masquage dure est formée pour chaque opération LOCOS. Dans une autre variante, on constitue une couche de masquage en nitrure de silicium, moyennant une modification répétée du motif de cette couche. Chaque modification de motif correspond à la nécessité de former une autre région de type planar et, une fois la modification intervenue, on procède à l'oxydation par des ouvertures à travers la couche de masquage. L'oxydation consomme une partie du substrat et engendre une séparation verticale entre le niveau de type planar correspondant au motif et le niveau planar supérieur suivant. Les zones de substrat ayant été exposées au moyen d'un motif de masquage peuvent rester exposées de façon à ce que les opérations LOCOS ultérieures maintiennent des séparations précédemment établies entres les niveaux. Une couche de masquage dure peut comporter une couche en polysilicium qui protège une couche de nitrure de silicium contre la conversion en oxyde au cours des opérations LOCOS répétées.
