IPC: H05H1/24
Filed: 2012-04-16
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement par plasma d'un substrat, consistant à appliquer une haute tension radiofréquence sur au moins une électrode positionnée dans un logement diélectrique comportant un orifice d'entrée et un orifice de sortie, tout en amenant un gaz de transformation, comprenant en général de l'hélium, à circuler de l'orifice d'entrée, en transitant par l'électrode, puis jusqu'à l'orifice de sortie, générant de ce fait un plasma sous pression atmosphérique hors équilibre. Un agent de traitement de surface gazeux ou atomisé est incorporé dans le plasma sous pression atmosphérique hors équilibre. Le substrat est positionné à proximité de l'orifice de sortie du plasma de façon à ce que la surface se trouve en contact avec le plasma et se déplace par rapport à l'orifice de sortie du plasma. La vitesse du gaz de transformation transitant par l'électrode est inférieure à 100 m/s. Du gaz de transformation est également injecté dans le logement diélectrique à une vitesse supérieure à 100 m/s. Le rapport volumique entre le gaz de transformation injecté à une vitesse supérieure à 100 m/s et le gaz de transformation transitant par l'électrode à moins de 100 m/s est compris entre 1 : 20 et 5 : 1.

Filed: 2012-04-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique pour déterminer si une région à l'intérieur d'une page Internet peut être ou non visualisée par un utilisateur à travers une fenêtre de navigateur. Souvent, les navigateurs montreront seulement une partie d'une page Internet à un instant donné, créant une difficulté d'établir si une région de la page Internet, qui peut être une publicité par exemple, est ou non en vue. Ceci est traité en fournissant un ou plusieurs caractéristiques de test à l'intérieur de la région, restitution de la page Internet, surveillance d'une caractéristique comportementale des caractéristiques de test et détermination si la région est ou non en vue sur la base de la caractéristique comportementale surveillée, la caractéristique comportementale variant selon le point de savoir si la caractéristique de test est ou non actuellement affichée. Un exemple d'une caractéristique comportementale est une vitesse de progression de trame. Les navigateurs redessineront typiquement des éléments d'une page Internet à une vitesse supérieure s'ils sont actuellement en vue à travers la fenêtre de navigateur, et cette caractéristique peut donc être utilisée pour déterminer si la caractéristique de test, et donc la région, est ou non en vue. La présente invention trouve une utilité particulière lorsque la région contient une publicité, puisqu'elle permet à un annonceur de découvrir si la publicité a ou non été vue par des utilisateurs.
