Abstract: In a method of obtaining an extended dynamic range image of a
scene from a plurality of limited dynamic range images captured by an image
sensor in a digital camera, a plurality of digital images comprising image pixels of
the scene are captured by exposing the image sensor to light transmitted from the
scene, wherein light transmittance upon the image sensor is adjustable. Each
image is evaluated after it is captured for an illumination level exceeding the
limited dynamic range of the image for at least some of the image pixels. Based
on the evaluation of each image exceeding the limited dynamic range, the light
transmittance upon the image sensor is adjusted in order to obtain a subsequent
digital image having a different scene brightness range. The plurality of digital
images are stored, and subsequently the stored digital images are processed to
generate a composite image having an extended dynamic range greater than any of
the digital images by themselves. In addition, light attenuation data may be stored
with the images for subsequent reconstruction of higher bit-depth images than the
original images.

Abstract: An active plate (2) for an active matrix display device (16), the active plate (2) comprising a substrate (4), a pixel area (6) and an adjacent drive circuit area (8). Both areas include polycrystalline silicon material formed by a process in which a metal is used to enhance the crystallisation process (MIC poly-Si), but only the MIC poly-Si in the drive circuit area (8) is subjected to an irradiation process using an energy beam (10). TFTs are fabricated with MIC poly-Si which have leakage currents in the off state sufficiently low for them to be acceptable for use as switching elements in the pixel area of matrix display devices. As only the drive circuit area (8) need be irradiated to provide poly-Si having the desired mobility, the time taken by the irradiation process can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur de type fluide à fluide, à fonctionnement à travers la paroi, destiné à la condensation d'une vapeur dans un premier flux de fluide, la conduite d'écoulement (5) du premier flux de fluide étant définie par un cylindre intérieur (1), un cylindre extérieur (2) aménagé concentrique par rapport au cylindre intérieur et entourant celui-ci, et un support d'espace hélicoïdal (3) aménagé entre les cylindres intérieur et extérieur. En outre, les surfaces des cylindres délimitant la première voie d'écoulement sont faites d'un matériau résistant à la corrosion ou plaquées avec un tel matériau, et ce pour réduire la contamination du fluide primaire. En comparaison aux condenseurs fonctionnant dans des régimes normaux identiques, cet échangeur de chaleur manifeste une plus faible résistance au flux, ce qui réduit la consommation de puissance de la soufflante et des pompes. De ce fait, l'échangeur de chaleur est particulièrement bien adapté aux systèmes à piles à combustible dans lesquels l'eau de condensation doit être réinjectée dans le système, ce qui pousse vers le haut les exigences en termes de pureté et en termes d'économie d'énergie de la soufflante. La fabrication de cet échangeur de chaleur cylindrique à enveloppe double est particulièrement aisée et efficace en termes de coûts.
