Title: Soupape autonome
Inventor: AAKRE HAAVARD
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2011-09-29
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil pour commander l'écoulement d'un fluide. Le fluide comprend une phase liquide et une phase gazeuse dissoute. Le fluide passe à travers une soupape, la soupape possédant une entrée de fluide et un corps mobile logé dans un trajet d'écoulement qui traverse la soupape, le corps mobile étant agencé pour se déplacer librement par rapport à l'ouverture de l'entrée de façon à faire varier l'aire de passage à travers laquelle le fluide s'écoule par effet Bernoulli. Les dimensions de la soupape sont telles que l'écoulement du fluide au droit du corps mobile provoque une chute de la pression qui tombe au-dessous du point de bulle de la phase gazeuse contenue dans la phase liquide, accroissant ainsi l'écoulement du fluide à travers la soupape.

Inventor: MCGINNISS VINCENT D
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: Methods and devices for altering the power of a lens, such as an intraocular lens, are disclosed. In one method, the lens comprises a single polymer matrix containing crosslinkable pendant groups, wherein the polymer matrix increases in volume when crosslinked. The lens does not contain free monomer. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, crosslinking causes the exposed portion of the lens to increase in volume, causing an increase in the refractive index. In another method, the lens comprises a polymer matrix containing photobleachable chromophores. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, photobleaching causes a decrease in refractive index in the exposed portion without any change in lens thickness. These methods avoid the need to wait for diffusion to occur to change the lens shape and avoid the need for a second exposure to radiation to lock in the changes to the lens.

- Using the particle-optical column to direct an imaging beam of charged particles at the sample; 
- Irradiating the sample with the imaging beam, as a result of which a flux ("Photon Flux") of output radiation is caused to emanate from the sample; 
- Examining at least a portion of said output radiation using a detector, which method comprises the following additional steps: 
- Embodying said detector to comprise a Solid State Photo-Multiplier (1) that is connected to a power supply providing an adjustable electrical bias ("MPPC Bias"); 
- Adjusting said bias so as to adjust a gain value ("MPPC Gain") of the Solid State Photo-Multiplier; 
- Matching said gain value to the magnitude of said flux, so as to cause the Solid State Photo-Multiplier to operate below its saturation threshold. 
A Solid State Photo-Multiplier is also sometimes referred to as a Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM), on-chip pixelated Avalanche Photodiode array (with shared/common detection circuitry), MPPC®, etc.
