Abstract: A thermal type infrared ray detector with a
thermal separation structure includes a plurality of
picture elements. Each of the plurality of picture
elements includes a circuit formed in a substrate for
every picture element, and a light receiving section
converting infrared rays into change of a resistance
or a charge quantity. The circuit generates a voltage

quantity change. Beams mechanically support the light
receiving section from the substrate to form a gap
between the light receiving section and the substrate,
and electrically connect the light receiving section
to the circuit. Each of the beams includes a wiring
line film formed of Ti alloy and connecting the light
receiving section to the circuit, and a protective
insulating film surrounding the wiring line film. In

Title: Optical scanner calibration device
Inventor: SCHERMER MACK
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: An optical scanning system includes a power meter that during calibration operations is illuminated by an attenuated excitation beam. The power meter measures optical power in the attenuated excitation beam at various index settings of a variable optical attenuator, and the system constructs a lookup table that relates incident excitation beam power to the index settings of the attenuator. The system then uses the table to select the appropriate setting for the attenuator in order to deliver to the sample an excitation beam of a specified optical power. The system calibrates the gain of a detector by redirecting, or reflecting, the excitation beam of known intensity to the detector. A photometric device in the detector produces a signal that is proportional to the intensity of the beam at various gain settings. The system then produces a lookup table that relates the gain settings to the actual gain of the detector, that is, to the ratio of the known incident power to the detector readings. The system thereafter uses the table to select the appropriate gain setting for data collection and/or to normalize the data. A beam splitter included in the system preferably discriminates between the light is passes and the light it redirects based on the spatial properties of the light. During calibration operations the excitation beam is reflected to the detector as wide diameter beams, which are passed through the beam splitter. During sample measurement operations the excitation beam is reflected by the sample as a narrow-diameter beam, which the beam splitter directs away from the detector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing lip device for a respiratory mask, to a respiratory mask per se and to a method and mould for producing the same. According to the invention, the respiratory mask has an orifice (2) for receiving at least the nose tip of the mask wearer and a sealing lip (3) consisting of an elastomeric material, which surrounds the orifice and crosses the bridge of the nose. Said sealing lip has a supporting zone which lies against the face of a mask wearer. The elastic pliability of the sealing lip (3) is such that the sealing lip zone (a) which seals the area around the bridge of the nose has a greater pliability than the sealing lip zone (b1, b2, c) which lies adjacent to the nostrils and/or the upper lip of the mask wearer, when the mask is applied to the face of the latter. From a production method viewpoint, the synthetic material is introduced in two separate injection-moulding steps, a support structure (4) with thick walls being preferably configured in the first step.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à maintenir une relation unique de réservation par commande entre un initiateur (14) et un dispositif cible (16) dans un réseau à canal de fibres optiques (10) en dépit de changements d'adresses de réseau suite à une coupure dans la communication. La présente invention maintient des tables de triplets (18) contenant des triplets de données, comprenant l'adresse de réseau, le nom de port, et le nom de noeud, pour chaque initiateur et chaque dispositif cible. Suite à une coupure dans la communication de réseau ayant pour conséquence le changement d'adresse de réseau d'un initiateur et/ou d'un dispositif cible, le procédé de l'invention met à jour les adresses de réseau enregistrées pour les initiateurs et les dispositifs cibles, maintient toute relation préalable de réservation unique par commande et assure la continuation de la transmission entrée/sortie. Bien que l'adresse de réseau d'un initiateur puisse changer, le nom de noeud et le nom de port de l'initiateur restent les mêmes. En comparant le nom de port et le nom de noeud contenus dans la table de réservation maintenue dans le dispositif cible avec le nom de noeud et le nom de port correspondant à l'adresse mise à jour pour un initiateur avec lequel il se trouvait en relation de réservation unique par commande avant la coupure de la communication, le dispositif cible peut alors simplement mettre à jour l'adresse de réseau pour l'initiateur sans pour cela interrompre le trafic entrée/sortie.
