  • Patent number: 12085706
    Abstract: A viewfinder with which an observing or image-recording device, such as a spotting scope or image-recording apparatus, is intended to be equipped, the observing device being configured to produce an image of an observed scene. The viewfinder allows a first image, representative of the observed scene, and a second image, different from the first image, to be displayed, the first image and the second image being juxtaposed with respect to each other. The observing device includes a first optical system and a second optical system configured to propagate the first image and the second image towards the eye of a user, along two distinct axes of propagation, respectively. The optical systems are such that passage from observing one image to observing the other image is achieved through simple natural rotation of the eye.

  • Patent number: 12082985
    Abstract: Device for inspecting the stability of a dental implant (1) in a bone (2), the implant having a free end (1a) and an end (1b) buried in the bone (2). The device comprises an ultrasonic transducer (12) for emitting and collecting an ultrasonic wave reflected from a contact interface (4) between the implant (1) and the bone (2), and providing a measurement signal representing the reflected ultrasonic wave. The device also comprises a processing unit for computing, based on the measurement signal, an indicator (IN) whose value makes it possible to evaluate the integration of the implant (1) into the bone (2). The indicator (IN) corresponds to the average energy of the measurement signal over a time interval (t1-t2) starting at a first time (t1) and ending at a second time (t2). The first time (t1) is between 20 and 80 ?s after the start of the emission of the ultrasonic wave.

One example includes an electronic candle includes an outer shell including a through-hole, a light-emitting assembly including a flame sheet configured to protrude through the through-hole, an inner shell positioned within the outer shell, and a self-locking device positioned within a cavity of the inner shell. The self-locking device is configured to operate in (1) a locked state when a switch locks a spring in a compressed state and (2) an unlocked state when the switch releases the spring to be in a relaxed state. The electronic candle also includes a bottom case such that the bottom case is enclosed within the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the locked state and the bottom case is exposed to an external environment beneath the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 12084098
    Abstract: A method and system for inspecting a rail by guided waves, the rail being instrumented by sensors. The method comprises the steps of receiving elastic wave measurements from one or more sensors, as a train passes, releasing energy as guided waves into the rail; and of determining a function representative of the impulse response of the rail and the sensors. Developments describe how to determine the existence, position and characterisation of a defect in the rail (e.g. fracture, incipient fracture, etc.), the use of inter-correlation analyses, correlation of the coda of correlations, Passive Inverse Filter, imaging techniques. Other aspects are described for exploring rail defects: sensor position and movement, acquisition time, sampling frequency, frequency filters, amplifications, techniques for learning during successive train passes, signal injection by transducers. Software aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 12082688
    Abstract: A pad cleaner is in the shape of a “stone” or an ellipsoid. The pad cleaner has a first surface bowed in the center which curves down from the center radially outward to the edges of the first surface. The pad cleaner has a second surface bowed in the center, which curves up from the center radially outward to the edges of the second surface. The first surface is joined to the second surface at the edges of both surfaces forming a hollow center. There are ridges or spikes extending normal to the second surface that are arranged in a pattern to produce a cleaning effect. The first surface has a cutout extending through a material thickness of the first surface to expose the hollow center. The hollow center can be used to store pads.
