Abstract: Cette invention concerne un film hybride (20'), lequel se compose d'un premier film polymère (120) possédant une surface traitée par plasma, et d'un second film polymère (122) possédant une première et une seconde surfaces, la première surface du second film polymère (122) étant placée le long de la première surface traitée par plasma du premier film polymère (120). Ce film hybride (20') possède des propriétés thermiques et mécaniques supérieures qui permettent d'améliorer ses performances dans un certain nombre d'applications comme, par exemple, dans le cas d'emballages alimentaires, de condensateurs à feuille métallique et à film fin métallisé, de bandes magnétiques à évaporation de métaux, de câbles électriques flexibles, ainsi que de films décoratifs et à variations optiques. Une ou plusieurs couches métalliques (124, 124') peuvent être déposées sur la surface traitée par plasma du substrat (120) et/ou sur le polymère d'acrylate (122) solidifié sous l'effet de rayonnements. Un couche céramique (124) peut également être déposée sur ce polymère d'acrylate (122) de manière à obtenir un film faisant barrière à l'oxygène et à l'humidité. Ce film hybride (20') est fabriqué selon un processus de déposition de polymère sous vide et à grande vitesse, lequel processus permet de former des polymères d'acrylate (122) réticulés, à haute température, uniformes et fins sur des films (120) thermoplastiques ou thermodurcis spécifiques. On fait appel à la solidification par rayonnements afin de réticuler le monomère d'acrylate (122). Ce film hybride (20') peut être fabriqué à la chaîne tout en effectuant le processus de métallisation ou de revêtement céramique, ceci dans une même chambre à vide et avec des coûts supplémentaires minimes.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing condensable material from a
gas, in which the gas is caused to flow in series through a
chiller, a separator and a reheater. A predetermined charge
of refrigerant is passed in a closed cycle through the
chiller, a compression unit in which energy is added to the
refrigerant, and through a compact auxiliary condenser sized
to remove the energy added by the compression unit at no load
conditions, and then through the reheater and the chiller,
completing the closed cycle. The auxiliary condenser is of a
type with in a static situation almost no natural convection.
The system comprises a ventilator for directing air towards
the condenser. The ventilator is actuated by means of a
switch operatively connected to a temperature sensor in the
refrigerant system, such that the ventilator is turned on
above a predetermined temperature of the refrigerant and
turned off below said temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a CMOS image sensor that includes circuitry for identifying defective
pixels, particularly pixels having leaky access switches. The leaky access switches allow
charge to escape from the pixel over a row or column line in a pixel array, thereby corrupting
the outputs of an entire row or column of pixels. A disclosed test involves (a) electronically
setting a defined charge in a selected pixel of the CMOS imager; (b) reading the output of the
selected pixel; and (c) comparing the output of the selected pixel to an expected value based
upon the defined charge set in the selected pixels. If the output significantly deviates from the
expected value, then the selected pixel is identified as having a leaky access switch. Preferably,
a newly fabricated sensor is first tested as described. If such leaky access switch is discovered,
the imager is discarded without incurring further manufacturing cost. If, on the other hand, the
imager is not found to contain a leaky access switch, it may packaged and then subjected to an
optical test.
