Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et des procédés permettant d'examiner le côlon. Un dispositif spectroscopique comprenant un dispositif d'éclairage et un dispositif de capture d'images est intégré directement dans un endoscope ou colonoscope orientable. Le dispositif de spectroscopie et le colonoscope orientable, qui peuvent également être des instruments séparés, sont combinés de manière fonctionnelle afin de réaliser la spectroscopie endoscopique. Le colonoscope utilise le mouvement en serpentin, ce qui facilite une insertion rapide et en toute sécurité du colonoscope à l'intérieur du côlon du patient, le procédé de spectroscopie endoscopique pouvant ainsi être réalisé plus rapidement et avec plus de sécurité. La spectroscopie peut être réalisée par autofluorescence, par fluorescence utilisant des colorants ou par toute autre technique de spectroscopie courante. On peut également recourir à d'autres technologies d'imagerie utilisant une lumière dont la longueur d'onde se situe à l'extérieur de la gamme visible. Les informations relatives à la lumière réfléchie peuvent servir à créer un modèle mathématique tridimensionnel du côlon du patient et à localiser toute lésion identifiée lors de l'examen initial.

Abstract: A laser beam emitted from a laser source is split by a beam-splitting
means such as a beam sampler, and the power Q of the split beam is measured
by a first detector. In addition, the power q 1  of light that has passed through a
pinhole while a DOE is not set is measured by a second detector, and the
power ratio α = q 1 /Q is calculated. Then, the DOE is set and the power ratio
β k  = q k /Q, where q k  is the power of each light beam, is calculated. The power
ratio β k  is evaluated on the basis of the power ratio α, so the optical properties
of a diffractive optical element, in particular, in terms of diffraction efficiency
in laser-beam diffraction and intensity uniformity of split beams can be
measured with high accuracy.

Abstract: A method of inspecting wall thickness of blow-molded plastic containers includes
providing a blow-molder having a plurality of molds and a plurality of associated spindles.
The containers are inspected by impinging infrared light thereon and detecting the portion
of the infrared light that passes through the container and converting the same into
corresponding electrical signals which are delivered to a microprocessor. The
microprocessor compares the electrical signals with stored information regarding desired
wall thickness of the container and emits output thickness information. The microprocessor
receives signals from sensors associated with the blow-molder relating to the position of the
molds, the identity of the molds and the identity of the spindles in order that the wall
thickness information that is determined by inspection can be associated with specific molds
and spindles. The wall thickness information may be averaged over a period of time or a
number of containers. The information may be visually displayed so as to provide feedback
regarding the inspection process. In a preferred embodiment wall thickness measurements
are taken at several vertically spaced positions simultaneously. Corresponding apparatus is
provided.

Abstract: A bypass apparatus and method for series connected energy storage devices. Each of the energy storage devices coupled to a common series connection has an associated bypass unit connected thereto in parallel. A current bypass unit includes a sensor which is coupled in parallel with an associated energy storage device or cell and senses an energy parameter indicative of an energy state of the cell, such as cell voltage. A bypass switch is coupled in parallel with the energy storage cell and operable between a non-activated state and an activated state. The bypass switch, when in the non-activated state, is substantially non-conductive with respect to current passing through the energy storage cell, and when in the activated state, provides a bypass current path for passing current to the series connection so as to bypass the associated cell. An activation circuit controls activation of the bypass switch by activating an activatable medium contained in a chamber of the apparatus. A voltage limiting circuit coupled in parallel across the cell limits the voltage across the cell during provision of the bypass.
