20110170778 | ENHANCED GAMMA IMAGING DEVICE FOR THE PRECISE SPATIAL LOCALISATION OF IRRADIANT SOURCES - A gamma imaging device including a gamma camera capturing a gamma radiation image, referred to as a gamma image, of an observed scene, and including a front face and having an axis of sight, and an auxiliary camera capturing a visible light image of the observed scene. The auxiliary camera is situated upstream from the front face of the gamma camera and has an optical axis substantially merged with the axis of sight of the gamma camera such that the visible light image and the gamma image are captured substantially simultaneously with the same direction of sight. | 07-14-2011 |
20100264870 | ELECTRICAL CONVERTER WITH VARIABLE CAPACITOR - A system for converting energy at a first voltage to a second voltage, including at least one source of voltage, a discharge switch, a variable capacitor, and a collection mechanism, connected in parallel, a charge switch between the discharge switch and the source, a transfer switch between the variable capacitor and the collection mechanism, and a controller to execute a control such that: a) during a first operation, the charge switch is closed to charge the variable capacitor, while the discharge switch and the transfer switch remain open; b) during a subsequent operation, the discharge switch is closed for a short instant while the charge switch remains open, allowing at least partial discharge of the variable capacitor. | 10-21-2010 |
20100239938 | JOINT-FREE INTEGRATED FUEL CELL ARCHITECTURE - A fuel cell element including an assembly of a membrane, a first electrode, and a second electrode, and a mechanism holding the assembly together, which forms a peripheral support thereof and that includes an electrical connection and a mechanism for circulation of fluid and for supply of the fluid into the assembly. | 09-23-2010 |
