Patent EP-1192582-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SEAL CHRISTOPHER HENRY
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2000-06-15
Abstract: Il est établi que l'iris d'une personne constitue une caractéristique de celle-ci, et un dispositif permet d'obtenir des paramètres de reconnaissance à partir d'une image d'un iris. La reconnaissance d'iris (1001) est fiable à condition que l'objet testé soit un oeil, mais on risque d'obtenir des résultats inappropriés lorsqu'on soumet au dispositif de test un objet qui n'est pas un oeil, p. ex. une lentille de contact à motif. L'invention met en oeuvre des tests supplémentaires (1000) conçus pour distinguer un oeil réel d'un objet supposé être un oeil. Les tests supplémentaires comprennent l'étape consistant à : (a) éclairer l'objet testé à l'aide de lumière polarisée et observer la polarisation orthogonale. Un test simple permet de mesurer l'intensité de la polarisation orthogonale. Une faible intensité signifie que l'objet testé n'est pas un oeil. Un test plus complexe comporte les étapes consistant à former une image à l'aide de la polarisation orthogonale. Un oeil réel forme un motif distinct, similaire à une croix de Malte ; (b) mesurer l'intensité de la lumière retournée le long de la direction d'éclairage. Une faible intensité signifie que l'objet testé n'est pas un oeil ; (c) projeter une image d'un motif test sur un objet testé supposé être un oeil. La distorsion de l'image implique que l'objet testé n'est pas un oeil.

Abstract: The invention concerns an inelastic diffusion spectrometric imaging apparatus. It comprises an illuminating and energising system including a confocal first aperture (15), a second confocal aperture (25) combined with the first. A first deflector assembly scanning the sample and a second deflector assembly (32) synchronised with the first, are placed respectively downstream and upstream of the second confocal aperture (25), and a spectrometer (2). The input aperture of the spectrometer merges with the second confocal aperture. Thus spectral data concerning the light flux diffused by the sample can be obtained. Scanning in a plane associated with scanning in depth enable volumetric exploration of the sample.

Abstract: A spark plug is disclosed in which, in a cross-section of the metallic shell (1)
of the spark plug, a crimped portion (200) of the metallic shell (1) is curved such that
an end-side part of the crimped portion (200) approaches the insulator (2), such that
an exterior outline of the crimped portion (200) has an outwardly convex crimped
curve portion (200a) at the end-side part, and such that a tangent to the exterior
outline at a base point of the crimped curve portion (200a) and a radial line
perpendicular to the axis of the insulator (2) form an angle of 50°-110°.
Accordingly, most of a crimping force is imposed in the axial direction of the
metallic shell (1) during crimping, and stress generated in the metallic shell (1) in a
radial direction is very small. Thus, the metallic shell (1) can be thin-walled and can
maintain its shape at high accuracy after crimping.
