Patent number: 11972595Abstract: A gas detector for revealing a target gas includes an image capturing unit with multiple optical channels, an image processing unit and a calculation unit. The image processing unit is adapted for deducing a value of a radiation transmission coefficient which relates to an analysis spectral band, and which is attributable to a quantity of the target gas present in a part of the field-of-view. Preferably multiple analysis bands are used in parallel. The calculation unit is adapted for deducing an evaluation of the quantity of the target gas based on the value of the radiation transmission coefficient which relates to each analysis band. Such a gas detector may have small dimensions, be easily transportable, including on board a drone, and can provide evaluation results for the quantity of the target gas in real-time or nearly real-time.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignees: OFFICE NATIONAL D'ETUDES ET DE RECHERCHES AÉROSPATIALES, TOTALENERGIES SEInventors: Pierre-Yves Foucher, Guillaume Druart

Patent number: 11757408Abstract: An electrical field detector includes an electromechanical oscillator, part of which is included of a piezoelectric element, a frequency measuring device which is coupled to the oscillator so as to measure the oscillation frequency, and an electrical masking assembly. The electrical masking assembly is arranged close to the piezoelectric element so that, during an use of the detector, the piezoelectric element moves by vibrating relative to the electrical masking assembly.

Patent number: 11703386Abstract: Disclosed is an instrument including a multipath, monolithic optical component, made up of a portion of a transparent material between two opposite faces of the component. One of the two faces of the component is formed by a first refracting surface, and the other face includes several second refracting surfaces which are juxtaposed. Each optical path of the component is formed by one of the second refracting surfaces in combination with a corresponding portion of the first refracting surface.

Patent number: 11524792Abstract: A surface liner member includes an external wall which is provided with multiple holes, a spacer structure, and tubes which are respectively associated with the holes in the external wall. The surface liner member is intended to be applied to a base surface in order to reduce, by acoustic absorption, an acoustic wave reflected on this base surface. The acoustic absorption efficiency is improved, particularly for frequencies below 500 Hz, by varying the shape of the holes in the external wall such that the ratio of the hole perimeter to the hole area varies. Such a surface liner member may be adapted to form a surface portion of an aircraft engine nacelle, or of a leading edge of an aircraft wing.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: OFFICE NATIONAL D'ETUDES ET DE RECHERCHES AEROSPATIALESInventor: Frank Simon
