Patent EP-0986796-A1 (EP)
Title: Diffractive surface pattern
Inventor: STAUB RENE
IPC: B42D25/328
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: According to the invention, a surface pattern (1) has N visually recognisable patterns consisting of diffractionally effective, microscopically fine relief structures or flat reflective surfaces, or comprising absorbent or dispersive structures. The N patterns together contain at least one common independent surface element (11). Said surface element (11) is divided into surface parts, said surface parts being arranged in a predetermined structure which is independent of the N patterns. Said arrangement of the surface parts is not visible to the naked eye. Each surface part is covered with an individual, microscopically fine diffraction structure or alternatively, a structure which has an absorbent or dispersive property or which is a flat reflective surface. The relief structures, diffraction structures and other structures are embedded in a plastic laminate (20) and the optical effect of said structures can be increased with a reflective layer (21). The surface pattern (1) is applied to a document (2) as a security element and enables said document to be recognised by machine in a reading device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne trois procédés apparentés servant à définir des champs scalaires lisses sur des mailles de polygone arbitraires pouvant être portées de façon constante à travers le processus de subdivision, ce qui permet de définir et de calculer la valeur des champs scalaires sur un ensemble de points à densité arbitraire sur la surface limite. Les mises en applications de ces techniques dans des graphiques et des animations informatiques consistent (1) à définir des pseudo-coordonnées afin de les utiliser en ombrage paramétrique comprenant un texturage; (2) à affecter des poids d'articulation à variations douces sur la totalité des points de contrôle d'un modèle afin de définir plus précisément la transformation d'un objet ou d'un caractère extrêmement détaillés soumis à des contrôles d'animation spécifiques; (3) à affecter des paramètres locaux à variations douces afin de déterminer le comportement local d'objets ou de surfaces dynamiques ou quasi-statiques.

Abstract: The invention concerns scintillation proximity assays performed in multiwell plates where a charge coupled device is used to image the wells. Conventional phosphors emit blue light (350-450 nm) which is absorbed by yellow or brown assay components. This problem is addressed by the use of phosphors that emit radiation of longer wavelength (480-900 nm).

Abstract: To provide a self-diagnosing apparatus for a refrigerator
which self-diagnoses an operation condition and advises a user
of an appropriate improvement action if there is an abnormal
condition, first, detecting means such as the inside
temperature sensor 1 detect a plurality of condition-indicative
quantities with respect to the refrigerator, and
the condition-indicative quantities are stored in the memory
part 7 for a predetermined period. Diagnosis means such as
the diagnosis calculation value judging part 10 compare the
condition-indicative quantities or a diagnosis calculation
value which is calculated based on the condition-indicative
quantities with a predetermined threshold value, and judges
whether the operation condition of the refrigerator is normal
or abnormal based on a result of the comparison. At this stage,
if the condition-indicative quantities covering the
predetermined past period which are stored in the memory means
are used as the condition-indicative quantities for the
diagnose, it is possible to accurately diagnose without
influence of a condition-indicative quantity which suddenly
appears. When it is judged that there is an abnormal condition
as a result of the diagnosis, an improvement action which is
preliminarily determined for the abnormal condition is 
selected. The selected action is displayed visually or as a
sound by the outputting means such as the sound outputting
part 14. Where a re-diagnosis is executed after a
predetermined time since the abovementioned diagnosis and the
outputting means output the improvement action based on a
result of the re-diagnosis, it is possible to diagnose with
an enhanced reliability.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil de cathéter (20) et un indicateur (21) d'unité de radiodosimétrie permettant de délivrer une dose de rayonnement prescrite à un patient. Le cathéter est rempli d'un matériau véhiculeur de rayonnement tel qu'un gaz radioactif inerte (12) destiné au traitement d'une resténose consécutive à une angioplastie et de tumeurs malignes, par exemple. Le cathéter dilaté comprend plusieurs chambres individuelles semblables à des segments de ballonnet (22,24,26) permettant le transport du matériau véhiculeur radioactif, et plusieurs chambres individuelles (32,34,36) permettant une circulation sanguine appréciable à travers l'artère pendant la thérapie par rayonnement prescrite. Le cathéter dilaté peut également comprendre un ballonnet d'une seule pièce. Un revêtement métallique spécifique renforce la dose de rayonnement délivrée à la cible. La paroi (25) de la lumière de dilatation atténue la dose transmise au sang circulant à travers la lumière interne creuse du cathéter. Le système de la présente invention permet également d'obtenir un rayonnement secondaire augmenté, à partir de l'impact des particules bêta et des protons gamma circulant vers la paroi de la lumière. Un indicateur (21) d'unité de radiodosimétrie positionné, disposé ou fixé sur un cathéter calibré permet d'aider le médecin à prescrire l'activité du rayonnement et les temps de pose.

Abstract: An ultrasonic dehydration device applied to a filter
of ceramic material, textile material or of any other material
or porous structure acting by vacuum or by pressure,
for solid-liquid separation in suspensions of solid
particles. The ultrasonic device acts on the sludge
paste ("cake") that is formed on the surface of the filter
as a result of the filtering cycle in the liquid medium.
The device is comprised of one or several transducers
(5) that irradiate in direct contact with the
"cake" (3) formed on the surface of the filter (1). The
device acts during the dehydrating step of the "cake", in
other words, when the filter is outside the suspension.
The invention presented here is oriented to the device
for applying the ultrasonic process to a conventional
filtering system activated by vacuum or pressure.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes dielectric slabs to provide a relatively uniform electromagnetic field to a cavity between two or more dielectric slabs. Each dielectric slab is a thickness equal to or nearly equal to a quarter of a wavelength of the electromagnetic field in the dielectric slab. In a particular embodiment, sample material is introduced into the cavity between the two dielectric slabs. This sample material may be introduced through one or more openings in the dielectric slabs. In further embodiments, specialized choke flanges prevent the leakage of energy from this cavity. In a preferred embodiment, an elliptical conducting surface directs the electromagnetic field to a focal region between the two dielectric slabs. Openings to this focal region allow sample material to be passed through this region of focused heating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for improving the surface of a substrate. Plasma is produced by a luminous discharge, close to the substrate to be treated, using a hollow cathode and an anode assigned thereto. A reactive gas located in the area of the luminous discharge is activated, causing a change to occur on the surface of substrate to provide the desired improvement. The hollow cathode is brought to a self-cleansing temperature and maintained at said temperature, whereby the parasitic deposits caused by the reactive gas are removed and/or converted. The self-cleansing temperature is stabilised by taking into account the following factors: the heating of the hollow cathode by the luminous discharge, thermal conduction carried out by the reactive gas and radiation in the direction of a cooled anode arranged at a small distance from the hollow cathode.
