Abstract: L'invention a trait à un dispositif pour la détection des flammes au moyen de détecteurs, avec des dispositifs d'évaluation subséquents pour l'évaluation des signaux des détecteurs, dans lequel au moins deux détecteurs identiques (1, 2, 3) sont disposés l'un à côté de l'autre et chaque détecteur (1, 2, 3) est pourvu d'un traitement de signal identique (amplificateur, convertisseur analogique-numérique) et d'une disposition symétrique et similaire (positionnement de pistes conductrices), chaque détecteur (1, 2, 3) couvrant une plage de longueurs d'onde différente (16, 17, 18) au moyen d'un préfiltre, et la détection du signal a lieu en même temps et de manière synchronisée de manière qu'une analyse précise du rayonnement reçu (12) soit rendu possible au moyen d'algorithmes simples, indépendants des variables d'influence perturbatrices, et d'une méthode pour détecter des flammes. En utilisant les mêmes détecteurs et les mêmes systèmes de traitement de signal, ainsi que la configuration symétrique et similaire du positionnement de pistes conductrices, la disposition, ainsi qu'au moyen de la commande synchrone de l'enregistrement de signal, on assure que les variables d'interférence comme le rayonnement électromagnétique, par exemple, se produisent de manière uniforme sur tous les canaux de réception optiques. Cette interférence uniforme peut être compensée très rapidement et très efficacement, sans algorithme compliqué, de manière que le résultat de la détection ne soit pas faussé par les variables d'influence comme la température ambiante, le rayonnement d'interférence et la déformation de l'angle visuel, et une évaluation de signal simple et éconergétique se produit et des temps de réaction courts pour la détection des flammes peuvent être atteints.

Inventor: GUARDIA ROBERTO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-12-03
Abstract: A solution is proposed for searching digital contents (such as images) in a data processing system. Each digital content is associated with metadata that describes it; the metadata includes a set of (one or more) fields each one adapted to take a set of (one or more) values. A corresponding method (A1-A9) starts with the step of providing (A9) a set of sample digital contents (such as resulting from a previous search). One ore more values (or part thereof) of one or more fields of the sample digital contents are selected - such as by dragging corresponding graphical representations towards a selection widget (A1-A3). It is then possible to retrieve (A4-A9) a set of digital contents, which correspond to the selected parts of the selected values of the selected fields (such as by combining them into a query).

Title: Method for intrastromal refractive surgery
Inventor: RUIZ LUIS ANTONIO
IPC: A61F9/01
Filed: 2008-09-30
Abstract: A method for performing intrastromal ophthalmic laser surgery requires Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) of stromal tissue without compromising Bowman's capsule (membrane). In detail, the method creates cuts in the stroma over all, or portions of, a plurality of concentric cylindrical surfaces (circular or oval). Importantly, these cuts are all centered on the visual axis of the patient's eye. In accordance with the present invention, cuts can be made either alone or in conjunction with the removal of predetermined volumes of stromal tissue. The actual location of cuts in the surgery will depend on whether the treatment is for presbyopla, myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
