  • Patent number: 11874241
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sample cell for performing DNP-NMR measurements, for interchangeable use in an EPR microwave resonator, with the sample cell comprising a flat sample cavity for holding a liquid sample to be measured, wherein the flat sample cavity extends with a maximum length L and a maximum width W in a sample cavity plane, and extends with a maximum height H perpendicular to the sample cavity plane, with H? 1/15*L and H? 1/15*W, and an NMR coil wound around the flat sample cavity for generating an RF magnetic field B2, wherein a coil axis of the NMR coil about which the NMR coil is wound is oriented perpendicular to the sample cavity plane. The invention provides a sample cell which is easy to handle and improves the quality and the reproducibility of DNP-NMR measurements.

  • Patent number: 10321252
    Abstract: A method of producing a spatialized stereo audio file from an original stereo audio file comprises creating a data base of impulse responses realized in at least one physical space divided into left, right, front, back, up and down sides relative to a sound acquisition position, with at least one pair of acquisition microphones placed at the sound acquisition position, with at least two pairs of source loudspeakers placed at sound source positions; the sound acquisition position is situated at the left-right median plane of the physical space, the sound source positions are distributed symmetrically by pairs relative to the sound acquisition position, the data base of impulse responses comprising at least one left/right impulse response pair, the left and right impulse responses being obtained by a deconvolution of the direct acquired signal from all the source loudspeakers distributed at the respective left and right side of the physical space.

  • Patent number: 9353787
    Abstract: A crankshaft bearing cap in a shape of a half-cylinder of axis X coinciding with the axis of the crankshaft and including diametrically opposed attachment pillars, each column-shaped pillar including a substantially oval upper surface incorporating a bearing surface surrounding a borehole through which a fixing screw can pass and a bearing surface for a screw head, the surface surrounding the borehole, and each attachment pillar further including at least two lateral and vertical grooves over a portion of the height of the pillar, the grooves being situated outside a vertical bearing cylinder having a base equal to the bearing surface and outside of a volume defined by the transverse plane passing through the axes of the attachment holes and extending symmetrically in the X-direction over a length.

  • Patent number: 6949386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing in large numbers a multiplicity of magnetic sensors produced on a semiconductor substrate, these sensors comprising at least one magnetic core produced in an amorphous magnetic material, characterised in that, after integration of the electronic circuits associated with the magnetic sensors, a film of amorphous magnetic material is glued onto the semiconductor substrate, this film being obtained from a band of amorphous magnetic material cut into a plurality of sections which are disposed one beside the other on a support, said film being then structured in order to form the magnetic cores of said magnetic sensors, the semiconductor substrate being finally cut up in order to provide a plurality of individual magnetic sensors.
