  • Publication number: 20240079440
    Abstract: A multispectral sensing device includes a first die, including silicon, which is patterned to define a first array of sensor elements, which output first electrical signals in response to optical radiation that is incident on the device in a band of wavelengths less than 1000 nm that is incident on the front side of the first die. A second die has its first side bonded to the back side of the first die and includes a photosensitive material and is patterned to define a second array of sensor elements, which output second electrical signals in response to the optical radiation that is incident on the device in a second band of wavelengths greater than 1000 nm that passes through the first die and is incident on the first side of the second die. Readout circuitry reads the first electrical signals and the second electrical signals serially out of the device.

  • Patent number: 8978204
    Abstract: An elastic hinge element for a glasses frame includes a box (100) that includes a guiding cavity (101), a slide (200) that includes a body (201) moving in the guiding cavity (101), and at least one elastic piece (204) that works with the box to produce an elastic reaction that opposes the extraction of the slide from the guiding cavity (101), in which the slide body (201) includes an inside cavity that accommodates the elastic piece. The hinge element includes a holding clip for locking a proximal end of the elastic piece relative to the box (100), with the holding clip including flexible arms that extend in a distal direction and holding element (207a) that work with the box (100).

  • Patent number: 7572005
    Abstract: An elastic hinge for spectacle frame comprises: a endpiece comprising two parallel flanges holding a hinge axis, a case comprising a longitudinal housing comprising a guiding area, a slide arranged in the housing, comprising a salient part spreading outside the housing and maintained in sandwich between both flanges by the hinge axis and a guided part interacting with the guiding area, and elastic means for returning the slide to a position retracted towards the interior of the housing, at least a prominence not performing the guiding of the slide and spreading out from the case to insert between both flanges, in order to ensure a direct mechanical coupling between the case and the endpiece.

  • Patent number: 6547389
    Abstract: The invention concerns an elastic articulating component for an optical frame, comprising a case (1), a slide (3) arranged inside the case, a locking socket (11) which itself mounted around the slide. The socket has an elastic tab (1) to block the socket relative to the case (1) when the latter is moved relative to an articulating knuckle (13) against the compression of a spring (7). The invention is characterised in that the case (1) has a housing (5) for guiding the slide (3) in translation inside the case, and the elastic tab (19) is inserted into an aperture (21) of the case (10) emerging into the housing (5). This arrangement enables to reduce play when the slide is being guided in translation inside the case and provides greater facility for maintaining the tab in the case. Advantageously, it enables for reduce the width of the case, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the frame.
