Abstract: A combination outer clothing article and emergency breathing device
includes a pocket in the clothing article for receiving the device body, an upper
tube and mouthpiece extending from the device body to a releasable fastener
on the clothing article, and an exhaust tube extending from the device body to
a back side of the clothing article. The device body includes an inhalation
chamber with a pair of inhalation valves. The inhalation chamber includes a
perforated frame sheet, a quantity of porous stuffing material, and a filter bag
that is substantially impermeable to snow yet allows for the free passage of air
therethrough. The pair of inhalation valves provides redundancy and
potentially makes inhaling easier than exhaling. Each of the valves include a
design that has a valve flap that is displaced from the valve seat in the valve
flap's rest position so that the valve flap is not likely to freeze against the
valve seat due to moisture in the exhaled breath and the freezing temperatures
that will be encountered in an avalanche.

Inventor: NASKALI MATTI
IPC: H01M50/574
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: The invention pertains to a safety feature that finds particular utility in batteries with
flexible shells. Conductors to be attached to the electrodes of a battery are thin
strips, and the strength of such a conductive strip (20) is reduced at one point e.g. by
cutting a slit (22) on its side. At one side of the slit the conductive strip is attached
to the top part (61) of the battery shell, and at the other side of the slit to the bottom
part (62) of the battery shell. If overcharging, for instance, generates an overpressure
inside the battery, the battery shell bulges and tears (B) the conductive strip
in two starting at the slit. This way, the structures and equipment around the battery
will avoid damage possibly caused by battery chemicals or high temperature. The
arrangement according to the invention makes separate internal battery protection
components redundant and has low costs.

Abstract: Les techniques de correction des défauts de surface des images photographiques nécessitent un balayage IR en plus d'un balayage usuel en couleurs. Dans la présente invention, le balayage IR additionnel requis pour la correction des défauts superficiels s'obtient en ajoutant au réseau plurilinéaire usuel de capteurs de couleurs une ligne de capteurs spécifiques de l'IR. L'invention présente un mode pratique de distinction de l'IR, recourant à un filtre dichroïque placé sur le capteur, présentant l'avantage additionnel de placer la ligne des capteurs IR dans un plan focal décalé adapté aux objectifs classiques. L'adjonction d'une ligne de capteurs à un réseau trilinéaire de capteurs requiert une structure de réseau quadrilinéaire. L'invention présente en plus de la structure quadrilinéaire une méthode d'obtention d'une information d'image pleine couleur ne demandant que deux lignes de capteurs et consistant à intercaler les capteurs rouge et bleu sur une même ligne, ce qui en association avec la ligne additionnelle de capteurs IR donne une structure trilinéaire classique de capteurs associée à un système de filtres différent.

Abstract: On corrige des défauts de surface dans un balayage de réflexion d'un tirage fait à la lumière visible en utilisant un balayage du tirage fait à l'infrarouge. Dans le cadre de cette invention, on corrige les défauts de surface dans un balayage de réflexion d'une image constituée de pixels à la lumière visible en utilisant un balayage de l'image constitués de pixels à la lumière infrarouge. On exécute cette correction de défauts de surface en établissant pour chaque pixel une délimitation supérieure et une délimitation inférieure de l'importance du défaut et ce, en se fondant sur un enregistrement infrarouge. On corrige alors le pixel correspondant visible en soustrayant la combinaison de la délimitation supérieure et de la délimitation inférieure, ce qui permet d'obtenir un pixel corrigé.

Abstract: A holographic lithography tool (110) for generating a light interference pattern used to expose a photosensitive medium (119) employs a refracting prism (121) in the optical path between divergent illuminating beams (127a, 127b). The prism is optically coupled to the photosensitve medium via an index matching fluid (123). By increasing the incident beam angle and the index of refraction, the prism reduces the size of features recorded in the photosensitive material. The divergent illuminating beams are generated by a beam delivery system which preferably employs easily adjustable fiber optic cables (176, 184). Use of the prism coupling technique facilitates use of fiber-optic-compatible wavelengths in the blue region of the spectrum in a variety of applications, such as distributed feedback grating fabrication.
