Inventor: SHIBATA KAZUYOSHI
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1995-03-31
Abstract: A display element includes: an actuator including a piezoelectric film having a pair of surfaces and a pair of electrodes coated onto at least a portion of each of a pair of respective surfaces of the piezoelectric film; a movable flexing portion, in contact with one of the pair of electrodes, to support the actuator; a fixed portion for holding the flexing portion so that the flexing portion can move; means, connected to the actuator, for transmitting a displacement of the actuator; and a plate for transmitting light, disposed closely to the displacement-transmitting means. In this display element, a voltage is applied into the actuator through the pair of electrodes so as to control a rest position and a displacement of the actuator as well as a contact and a separation between the displacement-transmitting means and the plate so that a light emission at a predetermined position in the plate is controlled. Alternatively, a display element may include a laminated piezoelectric body having a plurality of piezoelectric layers and a plurality of electrode layers, wherein the piezoelectric layers and the electric layers are laminated. A display apparatus includes a plurality of display elements. The display element and the display apparatus have quick response, consume little electric power, have a small size, and have high brightness of a screen. Further, a colored screen does not need to increase the number of picture elements in comparison with a monochrome screen.

Abstract: An optical detection device for validating bank notes has several input apertures, an imagine device ( 12 ), a diffraction grating ( 15.1, 15.2, 15.3 ) associated with each input aperture ( 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 ) and a detection array ( 17 ). The diffraction grating ( 15.1, 15.2, 15.3 ) is rotated at angle of e.g. 45 degrees relative to the orientation of the linear detection array ( 17 ). This arrangement enables the spectra of multiple points to be measured simultaneously. The angle of rotation, the pitch of the apertures ( 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 ) and a pitch of the diffraction grating (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) are selected in such a way that the spectra of said multiple points are contiguously mapped onto the detection array ( 17 ) having a single linear array of color sensitive detection pixels. The axis of the linear array is offset with respect to an optical axis ( 7 ) of the optical detection device.

Abstract: In the formation of dental bridges, the preferred material is a tightly-sintered aluminium oxide, and it is normal practice that the necessary bridge parts, namely two bridge anchors and a connecting intermediate link (pontic), are formed by a specialist and thereafter joined together in a dental laboratory where use is made of a melted glass as binding agent, after which the assembled bridge item is fired with porcelain. With the invention it has been found that considerable advantages can be achieved when a dispersion of said aluminium oxide or a material related herewith is used as binding agent, which after application between the assembly surfaces is heated until loose sintering is achieved, after which an infiltration of the sintered material by the glass is brought about by renewed or additional heating. There is hereby achieved a more simple working process as well as a stronger binding both between the assembly surfaces as well as between the bridge item and the porcelain with which it is fired. The binding agent is preferable mixed with an adhesive material which eases the intermediate work with the bridge item, and which is completely degassed by the heating in the said sintering process.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système (100) de mise à niveau de table d'imagerie destiné à un dispositif d'imagerie médicale qui met à niveau une table d'imagerie par rapport à un niveau parfait. Ce système (100) de mise à niveau de table d'imagerie met à niveau une table d'imagerie avant que cette table d'imagerie ne soit en position flottante, ou pendant que cette table est en position flottante. Ce système comprend une table d'imagerie, un inclinomètre (120), une unité (130) de traitement, et des actionneurs (140). L'inclinomètre (120) mesure continuellement des données (121) angulaires de la table. Lorsqu'on la met en route, l'unité de traitement (130) reçoit les données (121) angulaires de la table en provenance de l'inclinomètre (120). L'unité (130) de traitement compare ensuite ces données (121) angulaires de la table à une constante (135) de niveau stockée. Cette constante (135) de niveau stockée est une mesure de niveau parfait. L'unité (130) de traitement commande ensuite les actionneurs (140) de façon qu'ils déplacent la table d'imagerie jusqu'à ce que les données (121) angulaires de la table correspondent à la constante (135) de niveau stockée.

Abstract: A gripper mechanism (22) suspended in a coiled tubing/wireline in a well serves to releasably hold a downhole tool or other piece of equipment positioned downstream, via a tubular connecting element (10). The gripper mechanism (12) comprises axially, two relative to each other, movable coaxial parts (18, 16), a gripping part (18) designed to grip said connecting element (10) and an actuating part (16) designed to exert a radial clamping effect on the gripping portion (18a) of the gripping part (18) when this is in engagement with said connecting element (10). The clamping effect is due to complimentary conical face on opposite sides of the two parts (16, 18) of the gripper mechanism (12) being forced against each other by the axial displacement of one part (16) relative to the other part (18) in one direction (the upstream/pull-up direction). In order to enable a small cone/coning angle to be used at these complimentary conical faces, while at the same time ensuring that the conical faces do not get wedged to each other across a longitudinal course in the axial direction, the conical faces of each part (18 and 16) have been divided, so that each conical face comprises annular conical part faces (32, 28) and intermediate annular cylindrical part faces (34, 30). The conical part faces (32, 28) have a mutually equal amount of taper and the same axial extent. The intermediate cylindrical part faces (34, 30) have a mutually equal axial extent.
