Title: Identification of real position of centre of pupil of eye - using video camera to photograph frame placed around spectacles worn by patient
Inventor: XAVIER CARRIOU
IPC: G02C13/00
Filed: 1992-10-30
Abstract: The identification method involves tracing a rectangle tangential to the spectacle frame on the face of the patient. The inclination of the frame is calculated, and the real centres of the eyes are identified with respect to the spectacle lenses using a standardised image. Support information is held on a hard disk or a CD-ROM. Optical information is obtained by a video camera which operates at a distance of about 1.5m from an illuminated subject. The information is processed, and a point or a zone on a display screen is located. ADVANTAGE - Provides simple method of determining the eye centres so as to set the correct position of lenses in spectacle frames.

Patent FR-2698798-A1 (FR)
Title: Proportional dosing of fluid into circulating liq e.g. for disinfecting swimming pool water - by aspiration of fluid to be dosed from concentric pipe within circulation pipe by Karman effect.
Inventor: ANDRE GIROU
IPC: B01F5/06
Filed: 1992-12-04
Abstract: Injection of at least one fluid into a liq to be treated flowing in a pipe is by using the Karman effect. A small flow of the fluid is introduced into the flow of the liq, proportional to the liq flow, without the use of any mobile appts or pressure as motor force. The fluid to be injected is supplied via a pipe (6) concentric within the liq circulation pipe and discharged into this pipe. The flow rate of the liq produces pressure reduction and Karman eddies at outlet of the suction pipe, even at low pressure, generating aspiration into circulation pipe. Liq and gas can be injected together using branched supply pipe. Also suction orifices can be regulated to control flow of aspired liq or gas. Treatment unit (1) has inlet (2) for liq to be treated and outlet (3) for treated liq. Suction of fluid and gas to be injected is via supplies (5,4). Karma effect is produced at the end of the interior pipe (6) generating aspiration from supplies (5,4). USE/ADVANTAGE - Injection of disinfectant or flocculating agents into water during treatment of potable or swimming pool water. System operates at low or high pressure. No moving parts and thus low maintenance. Consistent proportional dosing.

Abstract: The surface-skimming wing (1) for a sailing craft is attached symmetrically to the bottom of the hull (4), at a positive angle of attack (ALPHA) to the surface of the water. The angle is controlled by the rudder (3) which carries an adjustable submerged plane (2) regulating the pitch attitude of the hull and the wing. The keel plates (6) are fitted with a water recirculating anti-cavitation device. The transverse stabilising beam (7), carrying floats (5) with horizontal planes is attached to the screw's working deck, and can tilt relative to the hull, controlled by halyards (50). The mast (9) is held in the same vertical plane as the hull by wires (51) and stretchers (53) with tensioners (56). ADVANTAGE - A narrow hull is made to ride smoothly over rough water, with reduced drag from the water and improved efficiency of the sails.

Title: Automatic windscreen wiper control
Inventor: GILLES LE CORRE
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: - Device for controlling the operation of windscreen wipers automatically. - Several figurative cases can be drawn up. One of the solutions consists in arranging a capacitive sensor (1) on the opposite side to the wiping of the windscreen wipers and which will switch the motor (7) for the latter into engagement when water is close to the said sensor (1). - Another solution lies in the fact that two capacative sensors (1-2) would allow two wiping speeds (13-15) to be switched on, as well as an intermittent wiping mode depending on the (amount of) water and the position of the sensors. - The last solution, not illustrated, would be to use a capacitive sensor with an analogue data output which, by means of a variable resistor, or some other device, would allow the wiping speed to be adjusted as a function of the amount of water. - The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the motor vehicle, maritime, aeronautical, rail and agricultural sectors.

Title: Electrolytic cell for disinfection of swimming pool water
Inventor: MANUEL NIETO
IPC: C02F1/467
Filed: 1994-04-13
Abstract: Swimming pool water is disinfected by chlorination produced by electrolysis in the claimed cell, which can be added to an existing water recirculation system where space is limited. The cell is formed by two hollow casings (1 and 2) made from injection moulded plastic, with internal slots on opposite faces to hold flat, rectangular electrodes. The two casings are joined together by flanges (4). Each end of the cell has a smooth coupling (3), sized so that tubing of 38 or 51 mm. internal diameter (commonly used in swimming pool) can slide inside or outside (respectively) of the coupling, giving a water-tight seal. The electrical coupling for the electrodes passes through the shoulder (14) of the cell where the diameter widens from 51 to 63 mm. without interfering with the tubing connections. The two parts of the cell (1 and 2) are joined by flanges, which have a groove in the adjoining faces for a sealing ring. A number of hexagonal impressions around the flanges take assembly bolts. One part of the casing may be much shorter than the other, and not contain electrodes, if space is very limited. The electrodes used are 66 mm wide and 95 to 195 mm long and separated by a gap of 3-3.2 mm. The electrical connector leaves the casing shoulder at an angle of 10-15 deg. with the cell's axis.
