Title: Imaging device and imaging method
Inventor: ENDO HIROSHI
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2011-06-27
Abstract: The quality of a planar image is improved while maintaining the parallax of a stereoscopic image. An image capturing device includes an imaging element that performs photoelectric conversion on respective light fluxes passing through different regions of a single pickup lens. The image capturing device includes a neutral density filter an AE control unit that acquires subject brightness, and a diaphragm control unit that, in a case of the stereoscopic pickup, controls whether or not to reduce the amount of light which reaches the imaging element using the neutral density filter based on the subject brightness, and that, in a case of the plane pickup, causes a diaphragm value of the diaphragm to be greater than a diaphragm value in the case of the stereoscopic pickup while setting the light extinction filter to a non-insertion state.

Patent EP-0090015-A4 (EP)
Title: Container having integral cap.
Inventor: PARADIS JOSEPH R
IPC: B65D17/32
Filed: 1982-09-22
Abstract: Container (10) with a wall (35) that is integrated with a cap (20) having a plug (40) that extends sufficiently through a weakened region (35r, 35s) of the container wall to prevent inadvertent rupture of the cap during shipment and handling of the container. Because of the extension (41) of the plug, inadvertent movement of the cap produces only a sideward movement of the plug into contact with a side wall of the container that prevents inadvertent breakage of the plug an consequent loss of the container contents. The container and integral cap are desirably fabricated by injection molding of plastic materials.
Patent EP-0342208-A4 (EP)
Title: Mass limited target.
Inventor: FRANKEL ROBERT D
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 1988-08-23
Abstract: Described herein is an improved target for use in a pulsed induced plasma X-ray lithography system. The target is formed as a disk shaped base having a series of concentric grooves formed on the side thereof incident to the focused laser beam. A plurality of small holes are fabricated through the base to the facing wall of the groove against which the laser beam is focused and a film, of a polyimide or silicon nitride material, covers the hole. A thin layer of metal target material is then placed on the film aligned with each hole. The thickness of the metal is selected to be sufficient to allow the complete ablation of the material during the existence of the X-ray emitting plasma. In this manner, a minimal amount of debris, either in the form of molten droplets or evaporated metal material, will be generated. The angle of the incident, or facing, side of the grooves is selected to be at an angle so that both the laser beam optical elements and the X-ray mask are positioned in an area where few, if any, molten droplets of debris are emitted. Such an angle may be 45 DEG  with respect to the plane in which the target substrate is moved while placing different target areas in incident with the laser beam. Such a target also allows the angle at which the laser beam is focused at the target to be approximately 65 DEG  from the alignment of the focal spot on the target and the vertical line to the mask. This angle, in turn, allows a slower lens and less optical coating to be used on the optical elements beyond the lens. pg,8

Patent EP-0348481-A4 (EP)
Title: Nail coating and bonding method
IPC: A61K8/81
Filed: 1988-12-02
Abstract: This invention presents improved processes for applying artificial nails to natural fingernails and for applying durable protective coatings to the surface of natural nails. The improvements comprise applying a viscous cyanoacrylate adhesive to the nail surface and subsequently spreading the adhesive over the natural or combined artificial/natural nail surface using a solvent mixture containing a solvent capable of dissolving the adhesive and an effective amount of cyanoacrylate polymerization initiator. The use of this mixture permits easy spreading of the adhesive over the surface and causes polymerization of the cyanoacrylate on the surface. The result is a smooth coating over the entire surface to which polish can be applied.

Title: Signalling device
IPC: G08B3/06

Filed: 1996-06-27
Abstract: Cet appareil, destiné à suturer une plaie dans une paroi corporelle, présente un axe s'étendant entre une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale. Un manche est placé au niveau de l'extrémité proximale et une paire d'aiguilles est située au niveau de l'extrémité distale, ces aiguilles étant mobiles entre une position proximale et une position distale. On peut insérer à travers la plaie un dispositif porté par la canule et destiné à manipuler le fil de suture, et faire fonctionner ce dispositif afin qu'il introduise le fil dans les aiguilles, au niveau du côté éloigné de la paroi corporelle. On peut déplacer un taquet sur le manche, dans une direction distale le long de crans multiples. Au premier cran, les aiguilles se déploient; au second cran, le dispositif de manipulation du fil de suture est mis en fonctionnement afin d'enfiler les aiguilles; et au troisième cran, le fil de suture est libéré d'un mécanisme tendeur. Dans un procédé associé, les aiguilles sont enfilées au niveau du côté éloigné de la paroi corporelle puis elles sont retirées de la plaie, permettant d'accéder aux extrémités du fil de suture, du côté rapproché de la paroi corporelle. Le fait d'attacher ensemble les extrémités du fil de suture ferme la plaie.
