Abstract: A method and system of displaying an image
sequence containing a plurality of image frames to
inhibit an unauthorized duplication thereof by a camera.
The method includes steps of generating a pseudo-random
noise sequence, and displaying the image sequence at a
frame rate which is varied for successive pairs of the
image frames in dependence upon the pseudo-random noise
sequence. The frame rate is varied within a
predetermined range about a nominal frame rate for the
image sequence such that the variations are
imperceptible by a human observer. The system includes
a pseudo-random sequence generator (30) which generates
the pseudo-random noise sequence, and a display device
(36) to display the image sequence at a frame rate which
is varied in dependence upon the pseudo-random noise
sequence.

Abstract: An x-ray imaging system (40) includes a source of x-rays (42), a video camera (52) which produces an image signal formed by x-ray attenuation values, an image signal processor (72) and a video monitor (74) for displaying the x-ray image. The system also has an automatic image control (56) that includes a peak detector (60), an average brightness detector (58) and a transfer function generator (62) for the image processor. The peak detector (60) receives the image signal and produces a video gain control signal for controlling the video camera in response to a comparison of a peak level of the image signal to a peak reference level. The average brightness detector (58) employs the image signal to produce a feedback signal (66) which controls by the source of x-rays. The transfer function generator (62) produces a histogram of intensity levels in the image signal which histogram forms a look-up table (76) that is used by the image processor to transform the image signal into the adjusted image signal for display.

Abstract: A gradient-index multifocal lens belonging to a group
designed onthe basis of predetermined rules so that basic
factors of gradient-index multifocal lenses, such as a far focal
measurement position F and a nearfocal measurement
position N, can be adapted to lenses for eyeglasses. Suppose
that surface refractive power (in diopters) at the measurement
position F is a base curve (Bi), that the difference in the
surface refracting power between the measurement position F
and the measurement position N is Pi (in diopters), and that
the width of a region is W(Di, Bi), where the value of surface
mean additional refracting power along a sectional curve in a
horizontal direction passing below the measurement position
N is at least Di/2. When any two gradient-index multifocal
lenses of  Di=Da  and  Bi=B1 , B2 are extracted from the group
of the multifocal lenses, they satisfy the relation W(Da,B1)>
W(Da, B2) when B1 > B2. Accordingly, a gradient-index
multifocal lens with a wide field by view desirable to users of
eyeglasses is provided without increasing the time and cost of
prescription production.

Abstract: The proposed metering reservoir has an upwards-pointing aperture (1) aligned in that position in the central region of the upper section of the metering reservoir. With an upwards-pointing aperture (1), both the width and the length of the metering reservoir are greater than its height (h). The edges of the aperture (1) are sufficiently far from the outer sides of the metering reservoir to ensure that the metering reservoir when half-filled with liquid does not discharge its contents until it is inclined at an angle of more than 60 DEG  relative to its position when the aperture points upwards. Securing means (2) for fixing the metering reservoir on a bottle (3) are aligned in such a way that the median lines of the securing means (2) and aperture (1) lie in the same plane and at right angles to one another. The metering reservoir, which will not tilt when in use and is fixed to the washing agent bottle (3) does not extend beyond the base dimensions of a standard flat bottle.

Abstract: On utilise un dispositif de commande de sortie actionné par un ressort, par exemple, dans la thérapie par aérosol médical pour un dispositif miniaturisé produisant une pression élevée, aux fins d'atomiser une petite dose d'un médicament liquide. Le mécanisme de sollicitation et de blocage destiné à un tel dispositif de commande doit être sollicité par l'application d'une force relativement faible, et il doit pouvoir être libéré d'une seule main et fonctionner de manière sûre pendant une longue période. Ce mécanisme de sollicitation comprend des moyens de transmission multiplicateurs de force, par exemple des moyens de transmission à poussée hélicoïdale, afin de solliciter le ressort, un organe de blocage conçu de manière annulaire et présentant des surfaces de blocage embrayables, deux butées servant à limiter la course du ressort et un bouton de déclenchement. Ce dispositif est compact, économique à produire, facile à assembler et comprend des composants présentant un faible taux d'usure. Des personnes non expérimentées peuvent le manipuler facilement et sûrement, même lorsque des forces de ressort élevées sont impliquées. Il est ainsi possible de mesurer avec un degré très élevé de précision un médicament à atomiser.
