Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for measuring dimensional or structural characteristics of an object, comprising: means (2) for forming an image of the optical Fourier transform of an elementary surface of the object in the image focal plane; processing means (26) for producing data concerning at least one dimensional and/or structural characteristic of the object based on the data supplied by the detecting means.
Abstract:
At least one bistable element (16) is contained in an evacuated enclosure formed of a first and of a second substrate (10, 12) which are hermetically sealed between them; each bistable element (16) comprises on the first substrate (10) a first layer of a conductive material (18), a layer of photoconductive material (20), a layer of a cathodoluminescent material (22), and moreover a means (26) of exciting the cathodoluminescent material; a screen of the invention includes several bistable elements (16) arranged matrixlike; in one embodiment, the photoconductive material (20) links two layers of conductive material, the one (18) constituting a conductive column of the screen, the other (24) delimiting the geometry of the pixel. … Application to the production of electrooptical memories and to high-definition displaying. … …
Abstract:
System to control the form of a charged particle beam. The particle beam emanates from a source (58) of these particles. This source is associated with a collecting electrode which collects the particles. The system comprises at least one resistive zone (56) and at least two control electrodes (52, 54), this resistive zone and these control electrodes being arranged substantially at the same level as the source, these control electrodes being furthermore placed on either side of the resistive zone and intended for polarising the latter, the electrical resistance profile of the resistive zone being chosen so as to have the distribution of potential making it possible to obtain the desired form of the beam emanating from the source when the control electrodes are suitably polarised. Application to the focusing of a charged particle beam.
Abstract:
Le faisceau de particules est issu d'une source (10) associée à une électrode (14) qui collecte les particules. Le système comprend au moins deux électrodes de commande (16) disposées sensiblement au même niveau que la source et en regard de l'électrode collectrice, et des moyens (18) qui portent les électrodes de commande, indépendamment les unes des autres, à des potentiels électriques, les électrodes de commande étant aptes à modifier la forme du faisceau en fonction des potentiels auxquels elles sont portées. AppLication à la focalisation d'un faisceau de particules chargées.
Abstract:
The device has a measuring objective (2) to form an image from an optical Fourier transform of an elementary surface of an object in a Fourier image focal plane. A transfer unit (10, 12) forms the image on a CCD camera (14). A calculating unit (26) produces data concerning dimensional and/or structural characteristics of the object or identifies the characteristics from information provided by the camera. An independent claim is also included for a method to measure dimensional and/or structural characteristics of an object.
Abstract:
The source comprises a series of electrodes (5) acting as cathodic conductors and carrying micropoints (12) and a series of electrodes (10g) acting as grids, each of the electrodes of one of the series being in contact with a resistive layer (7) and possessing a lattice structure, thereby including tracks (5a) which cross over and delimit first openings (6), each of the electrodes of the other series including second openings (11) offset with respect to the first ones.
Abstract:
A lighting device for liquid crystal display provides as output a polarized extended light flux. It comprises a light source 100 comprising a layer with high albedo A on the light emission surface SD(A), on which are stacked a quarter-wave plate 101 and a reflecting polarizer 103. This results in a light transmission gain of the order of 1+A, which makes it possible to produce displays with high luminance and low electrical consumption. Application to flat-screen displays.
