Patent FR-2789187-A1 (FR)
Inventor: BARLIER CLAUDE
IPC: G05B19/4099
Filed: 1998-11-19
Abstract: A method for making mechanical parts and objects, in particular, prototype parts and objects, from a specific computer-assisted design includes the successive steps of making the parts in elementary layers or strata, reconstructing an assembly of the layers, and assembling the layers. The layers are derived from a previous decomposition of the part along specific planes and in one or several step(s). The unit layers determined by the decomposition of the part include a central portion ( 8 ), which effectively corresponds to a layer having the shape and thickness desired for the finished part, an outer portion ( 11 ) of substantially the same thickness, surrounding at least portions of the central portion, and frangible bridges ( 10 ) linking the central portion ( 8 ) and the outer portion ( 11 ) together.

Title: Interactive control for passenger lift includes touch sensitive screen with appearance changing to indicate acceptance of command
Inventor: MORIN LAURENT
IPC: H01H9/18
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: The touch sensitive screen can be illuminated in response to control pressure from a user, to give interactive response.  The interactive control for use by a lift passenger comprises a graphic display screen (16) on which are a number of symbols corresponding to the functions of the lift. The symbols have a first appearance in the absence of any pressure on the screen, and a touch-sensitive panel (18) covering them. A computer management system is provided (14) to respond to touches on the screen, in order to calculate the co-ordinates of the area touched by the user, and the pressure applied. Signals derived from this, indicating the co-ordinates and pressure are then supplied by the management system to the electronic lift controller (36). This controller returns a further signal which changes the display on the screen to a second appearance to indicate that the command has been received.

Title: Procede, programmes et systemes de traitement d'image
Inventor: HEALD GEOFFREY
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2000-08-08
Abstract: Un aspect de l'invention concerne un procédé de détection de caractéristiques discrètes dans une image originale. Le procédé comporte les étapes consistant à: identifier dans une matrice d'image originale les pixels qui ont une intensité présentant une relation prédéterminée par rapport à un niveau de seuil d'intensité sélectionné; placer les pixels identifiés à des positions correspondantes d'une matrice de données intermédiaires pour former un plan d'intensité; analyser la matrice de données intermédiaires à l'aide d'au moins un test pour déterminer si une zone du plan d'intensité correspond à une caractéristique à détecter. Si une zone du plan d'intensité est acceptée comme correspondant à une caractéristique à détecter, les pixels de cette zone sont copiés de l'image originale vers une matrice d'image en mémoire, et une indication de position de la zone acceptée est enregistrée. Ces étapes sont ensuite répétées au moins une fois avec un niveau de seuil d'intensité sélectionné supérieur ou inférieur. Une méthode de segmentation par étapes comporte par conséquent la simplification d'une image originale et une série de tests de caractéristiques de base (p. ex. forme). L'invention peut être appliquée par exemple dans l'analyse d'images en protéomique.

Title: Methods and apparatus for atomic force microscopy
Inventor: MCMASTER TERENCE JAMES
IPC: G01Q20/02
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A probe module for atomic force microscopy has a substrate (33) and a deflectable cantilever probe (4) projecting from it. In the head of the atomic force microscope the probe is mounted with its axis perpendicular to the sample surface, e.g. so as to carry out shear force microscopy or transverse dynamic force microscopy. The cantilever probe (4) has a reflective surface (43) which is directed back up along the probe so that movement of the probe tip can be tracked using a light beam arrangement which in itself may be conventional. By this means, AFM procedures in perpendicular modes can be carried out using AFM heads requiring little modification from the conventional near-parallel mode arrangement. The probe may also be used in tapping mode to investigate sidewall features on a sample surface.
