Patent EP-1858250-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHIKAWA KAZUO
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: In a still-image-capturing system, a still-image-capturing lens group having totally the same configuration (the same number of lens sheets, lens form, and lens material) as the lens group used only for a TV-image-capturing system is disposed downstream a half mirror, and a rectangular prism is disposed for providing a luminous flux with an optical path length identical to that within a color-decomposing prism when the luminous flux passes therethrough. In another aspect, a focal length conversion lens group for changing the focal length of zoom lens groups and a total reflection mirror is disposed on the optical axis of the zoom lens groups exclusively from each other. In still another aspect, an electronic still camera is attached to the still-image-capturing system. If the size of each of image-capturing devices in the TV-image-capturing system is the same as that of the image-capturing device of the electronic still camera, letting the focal length of the fifth lens group be f A , the focal length of the taking lens of the electronic still camera be f B , and the converter magnification of the converter lens be M C , the converter lens satisfying the expression of f A  = M C ·f B  can make the angles of views of the TV-image-capturing and still-image-capturing systems coincide with each other. In still another aspect, a mechanical shutter is disposed between the half mirror and the still-image-capturing lens group, such as to be opened only during the charge storage period of the first field in response to an image readout operation for one frame.

Abstract: Methods and systems for growing uniform oxide layers include an example method including growing a first layer (20) of oxide on first (16a) and second (12s) facets of the substrate (10), with the first facet (16a) having a faster oxide growth rate. The oxide is removed from the first facet (16a) and a second oxide layer (34) is grown on the first (16a) and second facets (12a). Removing the oxide from the first facet (16a) includes shielding the second facet (12a) and exposing the substrate to a deoxidizing condition. The second facet (12a) is then exposed to the second oxide layer (34).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système, un procédé et un appareil correspondant permettant le stockage, l'extraction et la distribution de plaquettes alvéolées de doses unitaires dans leur état brut naturel (c'est à dire sans suremballage ou réemballage). En particulier, l'invention concerne une pluralité d'emballages de plaquettes alvéolées de doses unitaires configurées pour positionner une pluralité de différents types de plaquettes de doses unitaires dans une orientation prédéterminée reproductible, de sorte qu'elles puissent être extraites et distribuées, au moyen, par exemple, d'un système d'extraction automatique. L'appareil de stockage (ou montage de plaquettes de doses unitaires) peut comporter une cavité qui est configurée pour recevoir un médicament en dose unitaire ou une cavité de médicament de la plaquette de doses unitaires de sorte que la plaquette de doses unitaires se trouve à plat dans un plan horizontal, permettant la visualisation de l'information d'identification affichée sur la face inférieure de la plaquette de dose unitaire (c'est à dire la face opposée du médicament en dose unitaire, ou de la cavité de médicament). L'invention concerne également un procédé, un système et un appareil correspondant pour balayer un code d'identification d'une orientation inconnue. En particulier, le bord d'une surface d'un article sur lequel un code d'identification est affiché (par exemple, une plaquette de doses unitaires) peut être disposé, et l'article peut ensuite être balayé dans une direction prédéterminée par rapport au bord (par exemple, sensiblement parallèle ou perpendiculaire au bord) afin de repérer le code d'identification et de capturer l'information qui y est stockée. Le balayage de l'article peut être maintenu dans cette direction jusqu'au repérage du code d'identification ou jusqu'au balayage sensiblement complet de la surface de l'article et le repérage du code d'identification. En cas de balayage sensiblement complet de la surface de l'article et de non repérage du code d'identification, alors le balayage de l'article peut être effectué dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction prédéterminée par rapport au bord jusqu'au repérage du code d'identification.
