Abstract: An angular filter for an image sensor includes opaque resin patterns at least partially covered with a first humidity-tight layer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic device that includes an optical sensor with organic photodiodes capable of capturing a radiation, the optical sensor covering an electronic circuit with MOS transistors. The method includes forming, on the optical sensor, on the side of the optical sensor opposite to the electronic device, a first layer transparent to the radiation, the first layer having a planar surface on the side opposite to the optical sensor; and forming a second layer on the surface, the second layer being oxygen- and water-tight.

Abstract: An optical system includes a layer having a first surface intended to receive a radiation and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The the layer is opaque to the radiation and includes through or partially through holes open on the first surface. The optical system further includes an array of micrometer-range optical elements covering the layer. Each optical element is configured to behave as a converging lens having a focal distance in the range from 1 ?m to 100 ?m. The distance between the surface equidistant from the first and second surfaces and the focal points of the optical elements is smaller than twice the thickness of the layer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical system including an angular filter having a stack of first and second elementary angular filters, the method including exposing a layer of positive resist through the first elementary angular filter and removing the exposed portions of the layer to form holes crossing the layer, the layer crossed by the holes forming the second elementary angular filter.

Abstract: A method upgrading a core section of a packet switched mobile network, includes: a) collecting information about a maximum signaling transaction amount managed by nodes of the core section with respect to active data connection established between user equipment and the packet switched mobile network, and calculating a corresponding active users parameter based on the collected information; b) retrieving an indication of how the maximum signaling transaction amount managed by the nodes is distributed among user equipment attached to the packet switched mobile network, and calculating a corresponding activity parameter based on the retrieved indication; c) calculating a forecasted number of user equipment which potentially can attach to the network in a future predetermined period; d) calculating a signaling traffic estimation based on the active users parameter, the activity parameter, and the forecasted number of user equipment, e) setting up the core section based on the calculated signaling traffic estimat

Abstract: A tonneau cover employs a plurality of independently operable panels that extend across the truck bed and are arranged so that the tailgate can be moved between open and closed positions regardless of the positions of the panels. Latch assemblies employ an initiator such that when operated to unlatch the panel, the initiator encourages movement of the panel to an ajar position. The panels are connected by a hinge assembly that includes a biased prop that automatically engages to hold the panel in an open position. There are two different pairs of mounting assemblies wherein a first pair includes two latching surfaces and one mounting location and the other pair includes one latching surface and two mounting locations. A two-way operable seal is employed between adjacent panels to seal the panels regardless of the sequence in which the two adjacent panels are closed.

Abstract: A multi-function single lever switch (10) with an axial type contact system design. A first radially moveable contact ring (20) is interposed on a lever base (12) between a stationary contact ring (24). The stationary contact ring (24) includes a projecting portion (28) adapted to receive a second radially moveable contact ring (30) thereon and is surrounded by a cover (34). Cover (34) has an actuatable push button (36) assembly at one end. A plurality of axially disposed stationary electrical blade contacts (16, 26) on the lever base (12) and stationary contact ring (24) interconnect with electrical contacts (22, 32) on the first and second radially moveable contact rings (20, 30) as well as an electrical contact (40) on the push button (36) assembly.

Abstract: A versatile relaxing chair is provided and consists of two elongated U-shaped frame members oppositely intermingled with each other and held together in a stationary manner. A plurality of nylon cable strips with stationary plastic spheres extend across the long sides of the elongated U-shaped frame members so that a person can sit in the chair. A mechanism causes vibrations through the chair so that the person in the chair can get a massage.
