Patent EP-0898175-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BONNEFOY PIERRE
IPC: G01S7/523
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for electronically controlling an
ultrasonic transducers phased array to scan an observation area, the ultrasonic
transducers being usable as emitters or receivers and being arranged such that
at least two lobe-shaped ultrasonic beams are generated in the observation area
when they are exited by an electronic scanning signal. 
     It comprises the step of emitting at least two lobes (8,9,9',10,10') of
essentially similar amplitude from the phased array of ultrasonic transducers,
progressively changing the direction of said lobes, whereby the relative
angular distance (2.Δ o ) between said lobes stays constant upon said change of
direction, in order to scan a range of angles (), and by controlling said range
of angles () so as to scan with each lobe a different sector (S1,S2,S3) of said
observation area corresponding to the size of the angular distance (2.Δ o )
between two lobes.

Abstract: The manufacturing method is for a hollow frame element (1) forming part of the bodywork for a road vehicle. The frame element is of rectangular cross-section and has two internal cross-walls joining the long sides of the rectangle and dividing the interior of the rectangular section into three chambers (2-4). The ends of the rectangular profile may be cut into a variety of skewed and chamfered shapes. One end may be cut away to leave a U-section, which is then reinforced by inserting a square or rectangular-section tube (6). The end (7) of the tube inside the bottom chamber of the rectangular profile may be cut at an angle to the axis of the tube.

Abstract: An optical pickup irradiates a record surface of
an optical storage medium (1) with light and receives
the light reflected by the record surface. The
reflected light includes data signal light
corresponding to data recorded on the optical storage
medium and other light. The optical pickup comprises a
light source (5), a data photo detector (3) and another
photo detector (4), arranged together on a base (2), a
beam splitter (8), an introductive optical element (7),
and a lens (9). The light source (5) emits the light
onto the record surface. The data photo detector (3)
receives the data signal light, and the other photo
detector (4) receives other (non-signal) light. The
beam splitter (8) transmits the light from the optical
record medium (1) into the data signal light and the
other light. The introductive optical element (7)
introduces the data signal light to the data photo
detector (3) and the other light to the other photo
detector (4). The lens (9) condenses the light from
the light source (5) transmitted through the beam
splitter on the optical record medium (1) and

Abstract: The light detector device has a photodiode (PD) with a junction capacitance (Cj) which is initially precharged with a reverse bias. A control logic (LC) regulates the operation of switches to vary the exposure time, by altering the electronic circuit configuration to vary the rate of change of the output voltage (Vout) as a function of the illumination in the first phase. A semiconductor varies the initial bias (Vref, VNwell) so as to vary the output voltage as a function of illumination in the second phase. The acquisition uses an amplifier (AO) with feedback capacitor (C) which can be selectively short-circuited by a controlled switch (Ireset). The matrix comprises 32 columns and 32 lines, each associated with an acquisition circuit and column address, to produce voltages which are converted into currents by a MOS transistor, to increase the sweep rate. The currents are then converted back to voltages.
