Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un jeu de lentilles ophtalmiques multifocales progressives, présentant chacune une première surface multifocale progressive et une deuxième surface de préférence sphérique. Elle propose de définir le jeu de lentilles en considérant les caractéristiques optiques des lentilles, et notamment la puissance porteur et l'astigmatisme oblique, dans les conditions du porté. Pour cela, l'invention définit un ergorama associant à chaque direction du regard dans les conditions du porté un point objet visé, et une puissance donnée. Cet ergorama fournit une cible de puissance pour une définition par optimisation des lentilles, et est utilisé dans un programme de tracé de rayons pour calculer les caractéristiques optiques au cours de l'optimisation. Le jeu de lentilles selon l'invention présente des performances optiques sensiblement identiques pour une addition donnée, quelle que soit la puissance au point de référence de la vision de loin.

Abstract: A method and system is described which facilitate the proper association of radiographic film with a patient information. The invention maintains information for each patient to be examined in the current day and generates a unique identifying ID code for each patient to be examined. Before examining a patient, the current patient's unique identifier is imaged on an unexposed radiographic film. After the patient is examined and the film is exposed, the film is developed and digitized. Patient information is retrieved and associated with the digitized medical images by analyzing the digital image data in order to determine the patient's unique identifier. In this manner, the invention ensures the proper association of patient information with exposed radiographic film. Once properly association, the digital image data and the patient information can be communicated to a Picture Archiving and Communication System. The present invention also allows for interfacing with a hospital's Radiology Information System, thus eliminating the need for manual entry of patient information.

Abstract: In order to improve the noise performance of a charge balance type
photodiode array by reducing error influences, e.g. due to offset voltages,
flicker and/or thermal noise, on a desired signal a compensation circuit
(33) is inserted in each channel of this array. The basic concept under
lying this compensation circuit (30) is to effect a correlated double sampling
method without any significant increase in space or power demand
for the silicon chip of at least one channel of said photodiode array. Because
the wanted signal is primarily an amount of charge, the compensating
circuit (30) comprises a switchable compensating capacitor (C comp )
to compensate an error contribution of the desired signal. In a first "calibration
period" the compensating capacitor (C comp ) is charged or discharged
in dependence on the actual noise contribution. In a second
compensation period the compensation capacitor (C comp ) provides a voltage
(V c ) which is used to correct a predetermined reference voltage (V ref )
to insure compensation of the error contribution. These periods are synchronised
to the charge balance technique used in connection with the
photodiode array.

Abstract: A reaction vessel (1) including an oxygen-containing
gas chamber (8) separated from a source gas chamber (9) by an
oxygen-permeable membrane (3) that allows oxygen selectively
to pass therethrough to contact and react with source gas
contained in the source gas chamber (9). The ratio of at
least one of (i) the volume of the oxygen-containing gas
chamber (8) to the total volume of the vessel (1) and (ii) the
volume of the source gas chamber (9) to the total volume of
the vessel (1), is outside a range within which explosion
would occur if the oxygen-containing gas and source gas
were allowed to combine directly. Preferably, the ratio
also is outside a range within which explosion would
occur if the oxygen-containing gas and products resulting
from reactions between oxygen supplied through the
oxygen-permeable membrane and the source gas were allowed
to combine directly. The vessel is safer to operate in
that the risk of explosion, due to direct mixing of the
gases when the oxygen-permeable membrane (3) is damaged or
cracked, is greatly reduced.

Abstract: The JO parameter is coded on Q asterisk L bits with JO = JOQ-1.. JO0, Q and L are whole numbers. The method involves the following stages: - load a data bit NO, coded with Q asterisk L bits, the low weight bit of NO being equal to 1, into a register. Load into second and third registers (10,11) Q asterisk L zeros and load L zeros into a fourth register (60); - formation of a Q iteration loop indexed by (j) which varies from 0 to Q -1, which includes the two additional sub stages. Sub stage 2.1 form an iteration loop; - form an L iteration loop, indexed.by (I) which varies from O to L -1; - shift the contents of the fourth register (60) towards the right, this operation correspond to a division by 2 of the register contents; - test the bits resulting from this shift in a test circuit (63): if the control bit is 1; shift to the right the contents of the register (11) towards the right and load a 0 on the highest weight bit in this register. In a register (16) add bit by bit the contents of register (60) with zeros in an adder (64). The output of the adder (64) is connected to the input of register (60). Test with the second bit of low weight the output of the first register. Otherwise: shift to the right the contents of register (11), load with a 1 the high weight bit of the third register and in the register (16) add bit by bit the contents of the register (60) with the last L bits of the first register (12), in the adder (61). The first register (12) forms a register of L bits whose input and output are connected , and test with the second low weight bit the output of the first adder (61). Sub stage 2.2; - shift the contents of the whole of the first register (12)and produce, in a multiplier circuit (19), the multiplication of the contents of the register (12) by the contents of a fifth register (16), the latter having been filled with logic zeros if its size is greater than L; - shift the contents of the second register (10) and add the contents with the result of the multiplication, coded on Q asterisk L bits, in a second adder (30). Store in the second register (10) the Q asterisk L bits of high weight with the binary product produced by the second adder (31), and store the L bits of the lowest weight of these Q asterisk L bits in the fourth register (6).
