Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil électrochimique et un procédé de refroidissement dudit appareil. Ce dernier comporte un empilement d'au moins deux cellules compactes. Ces cellules présentent une voie de passage thermique maximale d'environ 4 centimètres. Ces cellules comprennent une couche d'électrodes solides disposée entre une couche d'électrodes à oxygène et une couche d'électrodes à combustible. Une couche de séparation entre en contact avec la surface d'électrodes opposées de cellules adjacentes. Les cellules définissent des passages intérieurs afin d'alimenter les électrodes en gaz réactants et une partie de bordure des cellules est conçue pour irradier vers l'extérieur des cellules la chaleur générée à l'intérieur de celles-ci. Au moins une couche des cellules est conçue pour conduire la chaleur de celle-ci sur la bordure afin de réaliser un transfert par refroidissement par rayonnement. Le procédé de refroidissement dudit appareil consiste à alimenter l'électrode à oxygène en gaz contenant de l'oxygène à un taux d'écoulement lent, à conduire la chaleur produite à l'intérieur des cellules sur la bordure de celles-ci et à irradier la chaleur à partir de ladite bordure.

Title: Classification non invasive in vivo de tissus par des mesures dans l'ir proche
Inventor: MALIN STEPHEN
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une méthode in vivo non invasive de classification des tissus recourant à des mesures spectrales dans l'IR proche. A cet effet on utilise un modèle de classification basé sur des mesures de l'absorption spectrale de l'IR proche dans une population témoin, et on identifie les caractéristiques spectrales représentant les différences entre les types de tissus. Des techniques d'analyse spectrale mettent en relief les caractéristiques d'intérêt et corrigent les interférences spectrales pour améliorer les capacités prévisionnelles du modèle de classification. Un programme de classification définit les classes en fonction des différences entre les types de tissus, les différences entre tissus d'une même classe étant faibles comparées aux différences entre classes. Une règle décisionnelle répartit les échantillons individuels de la population témoin en classes. Un processus in vivo non invasif applique le modèle de classification à des échantillons individuels de tissu. Dans l'exécution préférée, l'invention distingue les souris transgéniques des souris non transgéniques en fonction de variations de la composition des graisses des tissus musculaires.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif électroluminescent et un procédé permettant d'augmenter la production de lumière du dispositif, utilisant une région active comprimée multipuits afin d'augmenter la probabilité de recombinaison radiative d'électrons et de trous au sein des couches actives électroluminescentes de la région active, et ce en modifiant les profils de distribution des électrons et des trous dans les couches actives électroluminescentes de la région active, notamment sur toute la région active. La région active comprimée multipuits produit une distribution plus élevée et plus uniforme d'électrons et de trous à travers la région active du dispositif en décalant sensiblement les effets de la diffusion des porteurs provoqués par les différences de la mobilité des électrons et des trous, et ce en utilisant des différences complémentaires de l'épaisseur de couche et/ou de la composition de la couche dans la région active. Ainsi, la conception comprimée de la région active multipuits augmente les probabilités de recombinaison radiative des trous et des électrons dans les couches actives électroluminescentes de la région active, ce qui donne lieu à une production de lumière accrue du dispositif. La région active multipuits du dispositif peut être comprimée par rapport aux couches actives électroluminescentes et/ou aux couches barrières de la région active. Le dispositif électroluminescent de l'invention peut être une diode électroluminescente en matériau III-V, une diode électroluminescente en matériau II-VI, une diode électroluminescente polymère ou organique, une diode laser ou un amplificateur optique.

IPC: H02H3/02
Filed: 2001-02-21
Abstract: If a winding short-circuit occurs in a stator coil winding of a permanent magnet induced electric machine, a short-circuit current is produced in said winding that results in an electrically induced magnetic alternating flux whose value corresponds to the permanent magnetic alternating flux flowing through the respective winding and which is opposite in phase. Such a short-circuit current could lead to a burn-down of the winding due to its considerable strength and the loss associated therewith. The aim of the invention is to prevent such a burn-down. To this end, the coil affected by the short-circuit is short-circuited as a whole or is impinged upon with a corresponding in-phase current as soon as a winding short-circuit is detected. The entire short-circuit current in the coil reduces the excessive short-circuit current in the individual winding or in the individual winding section, whereby the respective winding part can be prevented from burning down.

Abstract: An illumination optical system includes a light source for emitting a
plurality of different colors of light, a plurality of rotating optical scanners,
and a plurality of scanning lenses. Each of the optical scanners has a
reflecting surface that is formed helically around a cylindrical body. The
different colors of light enter the respective reflecting surfaces in the
direction parallel to the rotation axis, are reflected therefrom, and pass
through the scanning lenses, so that each color of light is magnified and
then scans the region to be illuminated sequentially. This makes it
possible to provide an illumination optical system that can improve
scanning linearity, lower noise because of its reduced wind resistance, and
achieve reduction in the cost and power consumption.
