Patent EP-1395209-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PHILLIPS VAN L
IPC: A61F2/50
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: A simple, inexpensive prosthetic foot is provided incorporating a cushioned ankle including an ankle block formed of a resilient material or bladder having desired compliance and energy return characteristics. The ankle block is sandwiched between a foot element and an ankle element. One or more openings extends through the ankle block with a substantially transverse orientation relative to a forward walking motion. The size and shape of these openings, as well as the insertion of different types of stiffeners therein, provide desired performance characteristics to the ankle block. When the ankle block takes the form of one or more inflatable bladders, the pressure within these bladders is individually controlled by valves to provide desired performance characteristics to different portions of the prosthetic foot. A pump system can also be used to control and generate fluid pressure into these bladders. A preferred pump system generates fluid pressure based upon the movement of the amputee onto two telescoping pylons that are connected to the prosthetic foot.

Patent EP-1371156-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COHEN GIL
IPC: G02F1/1343
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: A fiber optical attenuator utilizing the cut-off phenomenon for single mode propagation of an optical wave down a single mode fiber, comprising an element such as a pixelated liquid crystal element, capable of spatially changing the phase across the cross section of an input optical signal. Such a spatial phase change is equivalent to a change in the mode structure of the propagating wave. The signal propagating in the single mode output fiber is attenuated in accordance with the extent to which higher order modes are mixed into the low order mode originally present. When the mode is completely transformed to higher order modes, the wave is effectively completely blocked from entering the output single-mode fiber, and the attenuation is high. The level of attenuation is determined by the fraction of the wave which is converted to modes other than the lowest order mode, and is thus controllable by the voltage applied to the pixels of the liquid crystal element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de traitement de plaquettes à pression atmosphérique destiné à distribuer au moins un gaz, ce système comportant un système régulateur d'échappement à réaction qui utilise des capteurs pour mesurer la pression à l'intérieur du système et règle des unités de régulation pour maintenir les pressions de consigne désirées à l'intérieur du système. Plus précisément, les capteurs mesurent les pressions différentielles faibles à l'intérieur d'un moufle, en particulier au niveau des sections de chargement, de dérivation centrale et de déchargement du moufle, par rapport à la pression ambiante du châssis. En régulant les pressions du moufle directement à l'intérieur du système atmosphérique, on obtient un équilibre de pressions plus stable, de sorte que les plaquettes traitées risquent moins de s'altérer en environnement extérieur, et l'on peut compenser les variations de flux de gaz entrant dues à des variations de pression d'alimentation dans le système. Ce système et ce procédé de régulation de pression sont particulièrement avantageux pour des applications de dépôt chimique en phase vapeur présentant une répétabilité de processus améliorée sur une période de fonctionnement prolongée.
