Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil d'injection de carburant, comprenant une bobine solénoïde (40) ; une armature (41) couplée à un élément (34) de valve susceptible d'être actionné pour ouvrir et fermer une valve (32) de carburant lorsque la bobine solénoïde (40) est sélectivement alimentée ou non par un courant d'excitation, l'élément (34) de valve étant comprimé dans la position fermée par un élément de compression (42) ; et un moyen de commande (170) qui excite la bobine solénoïde (40) pour créer une force magnétique déplaçant l'armature (41) et l'élément (34) de valve pour placer la valve dans une position ouverte assurant l'alimentation en carburant, la position ouverte étant atteinte lorsque le moyen de commande (170) détermine un équilibre entre les forces tendant à ouvrir la valve et les forces tendant à fermer la valve. Cette commande de la position d'ouverture peut être utilisée pour réguler le débit de carburant alimentant un moteur à gaz (20) et/ou pour réduire les vibrations parasites dans divers types de moteur. La commande de la fermeture de la valve par équilibrage des forces permet de diminuer voire d'éviter les chocs entre l'élément (34) de valve et une butée physique (106) et réduit donc le bruit du moteur. Ce type de commande peut également être utilisé pour le dosage du carburant.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des appareils photo numériques communs dans la vie quotidienne et qui s'utilisent comme webcaméras, caméras portatives, comme substitut aux appareils photo celluloïds traditionnels et aussi en tant qu'unités de mesure et autres outils similaires. Bien que les appareils photo numériques constituent une technologie bien établie, de nombreux défis technologiques sont encore présents. Un problème est la fuite de courant bien connue dans les pixels des capteurs d'image de ces appareils, qui mène à différentes amplitudes pour chaque pixel. Cet effet, également connu comme bruit de motif fixe (FPN) est particulièrement prédominant dans les capteurs CMOS, mais il existe aussi dans les capteurs CCD. Un dispositif (1) d'amélioration d'image est proposé; il se compose d'un module de correction (9) qu'il est possible d'utiliser pour corriger l'image en appliquant un terme de correction aux valeurs de pixel de l'image ainsi qu'un module d'estimation (11), (12), qu'il est possible d'utiliser pour estimer le terme de correction, sachant que le module d'estimation (11), (12) peut s'utiliser pour estimer et/ou mettre à jour le terme de correction sur la base d'une valeur résiduelle définie en tant que somme des différences des pixels et/ou des pixels précorrigés par rapport à leurs voisins.

Abstract: A defoaming method capable of destroying foams generated when a container is filled with drink, or the like, efficiently at a high speed and destroying foams effectively even in the case of a container having a narrow mouth. Liquid surface (6) in a container (1) is irradiated with pulse-like light (2) and a pulse-like sound wave (8) is generated from an irradiated point (7) as a sound source. The pulse-like sound wave thus generated propagates from the sound source as a strong spherical wave to reach a bubble (9) and to destroy the bubble. It can also destroy a bubble located at a place remote from the optical path quickly, thus destroying bubbles efficiently at a high speed. Alternatively, pulse-like light is condensed at a gas portion above the liquid surface and the bubbles can be destroyed with a shock wave generated by breakdown phenomenon.
