Abstract: A technique efficiently corrects multiple storage device failures in a storage array using a combination of a single diagonal parity group and multiple row parity groups. The storage array comprises a plurality of concatenated sub-arrays, wherein each sub-array includes a set of data storage devices and a parity storage device. Each row parity group is associated with a sub-array of the array. The array further includes a global parity storage device holding diagonal parity computed across the concatenation of the sub-arrays. Instead of requiring that each parity group contain both a row parity device and a diagonal parity device, the array is composed of a collection of row parity groups. Diagonal parity is calculated across the full array.

Abstract: Les radiomètres servent à la détection de rayonnement électromagnétique des longueurs d'onde radio et de manière caractéristique possèdent une antenne (16), un amplificateur (18) et un capteur (20). Tous ces trois éléments présentent des caractéristiques de réaction qui peuvent dépendre de la température, et dans le cas des systèmes mettant en oeuvre des réseaux de radiomètres dépendant des températures dans tout le système. Les différentes températures à travers une antenne à canaux multiples et la différence de réaction à la température des canaux peuvent aboutir à une image de qualité médiocre à partir de radiomètres à imagerie. La résolution d'un réseau d'antenne-cornets de capteurs est limitée par la taille des antennes-cornets. Un radiomètre à imagerie (10) utilise un polariseur de focalisation (36), une lame quart d'onde (32), un disque incliné rotatif (28), et un réseau d'alimentation de capteurs (16) pour effectuer un balayage conique, et permet la compensation de variations dans la température de fonctionnement d'un radiomètre mettant en oeuvre une ou plusieurs variétés de techniques comprenant des canaux d'étalonnage les uns par rapport aux autres, des canaux d'étalonnage utilisant des températures de référence in situ, et des canaux d'étalonnage utilisant des prévisions de la réaction à la température dans un processeur de signaux radiométriques (22). Certains aspects de l'invention permettent également d'optimiser la résolution d'images, la qualité d'images et permettent l'étalonnage.  FIG. 3A : RIEN A TRADUIRE FIG. 9A : A CHAMP OPTIQUE B OPTIQUE

Abstract: An improved method for treating the eye includes the step of providing an ophthalmic instrument including an integral wavefront sensor. The wavefront sensor measures phase aberrations in reflections directed thereto to characterize aberrations of the eye. The wavefront sensor may be operably coupled to a display device, which displays a graphical representation of the aberrations of the eye. Such graphical representation may include: two dimensional contour maps that graphically depict contribution of pre-specified terms (such as spherical aberration, astigmatism and coma) for the aberrations of the eye, coefficients corresponding to such pre-specified terms that characterize the aberrations of the eye, or predefined two-dimensional icons that provide a general graphical depiction of such pre-specified terms. Such graphical representations provide the practitioner with valuable information characterizing the high order optical errors of the eye (which is far beyond the diopter information typically provided by current ophthalmic instruments) for use in diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities and disease in the eye. In addition, the wavefront sensor may be part of an adaptive optical subsystem that compensates for the phase aberrations measured therein to provide phase-aligned images of the eye for capture by an image capture subsystem. Such images may be used by practitioner in diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities and disease in the eye.

Abstract: A phosphorescent coating system and a method of providing the coating system on a substrate are disclosed. The method includes applying a color-providing composition, such as a pigmented basecoat composition, and applying a clearcoat composition. After application and cure, the color-providing composition forms a color-providing film layer, and the clearcoat composition forms a clearcoat film layer.

The color-providing composition is applied to the substrate to form an uncured film layer of the color-providing composition. Next, the clearcoat composition is applied wet-on-wet to the uncured film layer of the color-providing composition such that an uncured film layer of the clearcoat composition is formed on the uncured film layer of the color-providing composition.

Abstract: Un mode de réalisation de l'invention concerne une endoprothèse présentant plusieurs caractéristiques parmi les excellentes caractéristiques des endoprothèses en silicone et en métal, tout en écartant les caractéristiques indésirables. Plus précisément, un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention concerne une endoprothèse pouvant être facilement installée et étant amovible. De plus, l'endoprothèse n'engendre pas d'infections liées au matériau et est capable de diminuer les infections. Par conséquent, un mode de réalisation préféré concerne une prothèse conçue pour une utilisation aussi bien permanente que temporaire et étant facile à introduire, à repositionner et à retirer. Cette prothèse est également conçue pour une administration ciblée d'agents anti-microbiens et chimiothérapeutiques. De plus, l'invention concerne une famille d'endoprothèses dont la rigidité/souplesse relative des régions de l'endoprothèse peuvent être différentes d'autres régions de l'endoprothèse, de manière à conférer au patient un confort et une résistance aux forces radiales supplémentaires. Dans un mode de réalisation, la famille d'endoprothèses est dotée de nouvelles conceptions d'interstice améliorant la souplesse, la durabilité et/ou facilitant une installation appropriée.
