Title: Tunable optical filter component
Inventor: PAUTET CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to wavelength-selective and tunable optical filters for transmitting the light in a narrow optical spectral band, centered around an adjustable wavelength, and for blocking the transmission of wavelengths lying outside of this band. In a micromachined monolithic structure containing the optical filter proper, the component comprises a low-absorption light detection element used for slaving the tuning control of the filter to a wavelength received by the filter, this element transmitting the majority of the radiation at this wavelength. The filter is a Fabry-Pérot interferometric filter, the cavity (C) of which is tuned to a value that maximizes the power detected by the light detection element. The filter is preferably based on layers of indium phosphide and air gaps. The detection element preferably comprises a layer of gallium-indium arsenide 74 suitable for detection of the intended wavelength band.

Patent EP-1480788-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ELONSSON MARTIN
IPC: B25C5/02
Filed: 2002-12-04
Abstract: A stapler has a base section and a stapling unit. The stapling unit is pivotally attached to the base section, and the base section is pivotally attached to a baseplate. In an initial position, the base section is fixed relative to the baseplate through a releasable locking mechanism connected to the baseplate and a base section. The base section has pivoting bending arms in an area underneath a support surface for a workpiece to be stapled. When a driver has driven a staple into the workpiece to a position in which the crown of the staple is in contact with the workpiece, the locking mechanism is released, and the base section pivots and is tilted against the baseplate, causing the bending arms to pivot so that the legs of the staple are bent into a position against the workpiece. A cutting pad disposed in an area between the bending arms interacts with the bending arms to cut off excess length of the staple legs.

patches increases incrementally, from no ink laydown to a maximum level
generating a density of at least 1.5; and wherein NΔR S (Xn) for each patch is
