Abstract:
The optical probe contains a monolithic body (14) of optically transparent material to perform focusing for a plurality of parallel light paths from one or more fibers (10,12) to one or more object points (19). Surface parts (160,164,180,182) of the monolithic body are curved to form lenses (164,182) and/or coated with a reflective coating (160,180). On a fiber side of the monolithic body an opening or openings (168,164) are provided in a reflective coating opposite the tip or tips of the fibers (12,10) to pass light. On the object side of the monolithic body, a coated surface part (180) reflects the light path from the openings back to the fiber side of the monolithic body, from where the light path is reflected towards an aperture on the object side. At least part of the reflecting surfaces is curved to form reflector a plurality of distinct lenses on the same side of the monolithic body.
Abstract:
According to one aspect, the invention provides a method of placement of a component on a stretchable substrate, comprising the steps of providing a base substrate having a stretchable substrate layer, providing a flexible foil comprising an integral arrangement (20) of a multiple of flexible foil components; the flexible foil components each comprising component pads for electro/optical access to the flexible foil components, providing in plane interconnecting traces on the stretchable substrate layer in correspondence with the component pads in the integral arrangement; aligning the base substrate and the flexible foil so as to be used in a reel based manufacturing process; providing, through lamination of the base substrate and the flexible foil an electro/optical via connection between the traces and the component pads of the integral component arrangement; and mechanically separating the integral arrangement of flexible foil components to provide a multiple of mechanically separated components from each other to arrange an electro/optical interconnected component system on a stretchable substrate layer One advantage of the invention is that it may be used in a manufacturing process for multi-foil systems.
Abstract:
Described is an (organic) light-emitting diode ((O)LED) wherein the light-emitting layer comprises a blend of an electroluminescent semiconducting material with a ferro-electric material. Either of the electrodes forms a modulatable injection barrier with the ferro-electric material, the modulation requiring a voltage V m serving to polarize or repolarize the ferro-electric material. With V m being larger than the voltage V e required for light emission, the (O)LED can be turned "on" or "off" by applying a pulse voltage to (re)polarize the ferro-electric material.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of cellular growth and a method of modification of characteristic of fibrin matrix regarding internal growth. SOLUTION: For the formation of a fibrin matrix, a fibrinogen comprising a selected fibrinogen variant or a fibrinogen rich or poor in selected fibrinogen variant is used. Especially, use of a high molecular weight (HMW) fibrinogen provides a fibrin having accelerated angiopoietic characteristic, and use of a low molecular weight (LMW and/or LMW') fibrinogen provides a fibrin having decelerated angiopoietic characteristic. A fibrin sealant based on HMW fibrinogen is used for burn wound because it promotes wound treatment or it inhibits cicatricial tissue. A fibrin sealant based on LMW or LMW' fibrinogen is useful, for example, after surgical operation because it inhibits adhesion and tumor growth. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide emergency information, in particular, that is relevant for a particular location when broadcasting emergency information into a cell and providing information relating to an emergency situation. SOLUTION: A system and a method are for receiving local emergency information on a mobile device 8 in a system comprising a telecommunication network 2 and at least one local communication network 5 comprising one or a plurality of wireless access points WAP1-WAP5. The mobile device 8 receives a general emergency signal over a broadcast channel of the telecommunication network 2. In response to the general emergency signal, the mobile device 8 is connected to one of the wireless access points WAP1-WAP5 and transmits a request for transmitting the local emergency information to the mobile device. The mobile device 8 then receives the local emergency information from one of the wireless access points WAP1-WAP5. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
