Abstract: Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention établit une technique pour sélectionner un réseau de distribution de contenu (CDN) comprenant au moins un serveur de contenu, à partir d'une pluralité de CDN, et lire un fichier de contenu numérique à partir du CDN sur un lecteur de contenu. La sélection du CDN est basée sur un ordre de classement des CDN, une valeur de pondération attribuée pour chaque CDN et une bande passante mesurée entre le lecteur de contenu et chaque CDN. De façon avantageuse, un lecteur de contenu donné peut sélectionner un CDN sur la base d'un réseau prévalent et de conditions de charge de CDN, augmentant ainsi une robustesse et une fiabilité globales lors du téléchargement d'un fichier de contenu numérique à partir d'un CDN.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil, un système, et un logiciel pour générer des documents pouvant être validés et authentifiés. Un système d'écriture manuscrite peut être utilisé pour produire un fac-similé d'écriture manuscrite. Un tel système d'écriture manuscrite peut être capable de générer un fac-similé d'écriture manuscrite biométriquement précis conformément à l'écriture manuscrite d'une personne spécifique. Le système d'écriture manuscrite peut faciliter l'intégration d'un fac-similé d'écriture manuscrite dans un ou plusieurs documents. Le système d'écriture manuscrite peut être lié à un dispositif de sortie d'impression permettant d'appliquer un fac-similé d'écriture manuscrite à un document imprimé par l'imprimante. Le système d'écriture manuscrite peut incorporer un outil d'écriture manuscrite pouvant être intégré à l'imprimante, de sorte qu'un fac-similé d'écriture manuscrite peut être facilité par l'outil d'écriture manuscrite durant la course d'impression d'un document.

Title: Cellule solaire, son procede de fabrication et module de cellule solaire
Inventor: HASHIGAMI HIROSHI
IPC: H01L31/068
Filed: 2010-05-24
Granted: 2017-10-10
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une cellule solaire, comprenant: un substrat semi-conducteur présentant une surface recevant la lumière et une surface ne recevant pas la lumière; une jonction pn formée dans le substrat semi-conducteur; une couche de passivation formée sur l'une desdites surfaces ou sur les deux; et une électrode d'extraction de courant formée sur chacune des deux surfaces. La cellule solaire se caractérise en ce que la couche de passivation comporte un film d'oxyde d'aluminium d'une épaisseur de 40 nm ou moins. On peut obtenir d'excellentes performances de passivation et d'excellents contacts électriques entre le silicium et l'électrode uniquement en chauffant une pâte conductrice, ce qui est une technique classique pour former sur la surface du substrat un film d'oxyde d'aluminium d'une épaisseur prédéterminée. On peut ainsi éliminer l'étape du recuit nécessaire pour obtenir l'effet de passivation sur le film d'oxyde d'aluminium, cet avantage s'avérant extrêmement efficace pour réduire les coûts.

Abstract: A wildlife guard assembly for use with an electrical insulator body includes first and second guard members and an actuator member. The first and second guard members define a seat to receive the insulator body and are connected to one another to permit relative movement between an open position. The first and second guard members define a sideward opening to laterally receive the insulator body into the seat, and a closed position, wherein the first and second guard members at least partially encircle the insulator body to capture the insulator body in the seat. The actuator member is configured to be inserted between the first and second guard members in the open position and, when forcibly displaced radially to an installed position, to force the first and second guard members to move from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: This invention concerns an ergonomic optical see-through head mounted display device with an eyeglass appearance. The see-through head-mounted display device consists of a transparent, freeform waveguide prism for viewing a displayed virtual image, a see-through compensation lens for enabling proper viewing of a real-world scene when combined together with the prism, and a miniature image display unit for supplying display content. The freeform waveguide prism, containing multiple freeform refractive and reflective surfaces, guides light originated from the miniature display unit toward a user's pupil and enables a user to view a magnified image of the displayed content. A see-through compensation lens, containing multiple freeform refractive surfaces, enables proper viewing of the surrounding environment, through the combined waveguide and lens. The waveguide prism and the see-through compensation lens are properly designed to ergonomically fit human heads enabling a wraparound design of a lightweight, compact, and see-through display system.

Title: Emergency stop (lockout) system for patient hoists/lifts
Inventor: CUSTEAU-BOISCLAIR OLIVIER
IPC: A61G7/10
Filed: 2012-07-09
Granted: 2020-07-07
Abstract: A switching arrangement for a patient hoist - for example, a ceiling-mounted hoist for lifting and transporting patients with mobility impairments - includes a switching member which descends from the hoist such that it is reachable by an operator standing on the floor adjacent to the patient. The switch can be actuated by the operator to disable the hoist by moving the switch member with a first type of motion, e.g., by pulling the switch member along an axis. The hoist member can thereafter be re- enabled by the switch member only when the switch member is moved with a second type of motion different from the first type, e.g., by rotating the switch member along the axis. The use of different disabling and enabling motions helps to deter accidental re-enablement once the hoist is disabled, which is particularly useful where disablement is done for emergency purposes.

Title: Detection de sequences d'acides nucleiques cibles par clivage et hybridation de po

Granted: 2017-03-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne la détection d'une séquence d'acides nucléiques cible par un criblage POCH /clivage et hybridation de PO) sur un semi-conducteur. La présente invention consiste à détecter la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible par utilisation d'une technique selon laquelle le PO (oligonucléotide sonde) hybridé avec la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible est clivé et le clivage de PO est détecté par hybridation avec le CO (oligonucléotide de capture). Dans la présente invention, un PO non clivé est hybridé avec le CO immobilisé sur le semi-conducteur. Les conceptions de PO et CO sont pratiques et l'optimisation des conditions de réaction est simple. Lorsque la détection d'un signal sur le substrat solide est exécutée en continue conjointement avec la répétition du clivage des PO dans la présente invention, le nombre de PO clivés est augmenté par répétition du nombre de réaction de clivage et le signal est modifié parallèlement au nombre de PO clivés. Ensuite, la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible peut être détectée en temps réel. A l'inverse, la modification du signal n'est pas observée en l'absence de la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible.
