Patent number: 9969707Abstract: The present document describes a method for extracting anthocyanin derivatives from a plant source. The method comprises the step of separating a homogenized extract of plant source in a polar acidified solvent for obtaining a residual solid, and a filtrate mixed with the acidified polar solvent. The separation includes a coarse filtration done by centrifugation of the plant source extract, by a filtration with a first filter having a pore size of about 100 ?m, and a fine filtration is done using a second filter having a pore size of about 10 ?m. Then, the filtrate mixed with the acidified polar solvent is evaporated for substantially separating the acidified polar solvent from the filtrate to obtain a semi-solid extract of anthocyanin derivatives.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Inventors: Sylvain Savard, André Tremblay, Michel Arsenault

Patent number: 6508403Abstract: A system for three-dimensional scanning, comprising a three-dimensional scanning apparatus being manually maneuverable and comprising a profilometer including a light beam projector, an objective and a light detector. The profilometer is configured for obtaining a two-dimensional profile of an object by active triangulation. The apparatus further including a positioning device being trackable in a volume space for providing six degrees-of-freedom of the apparatus, whereby a three-dimensional profile is calculatable by relating the two-dimensional profile with time-corresponding positions and orientations of the apparatus. The system also has a three-dimensional profile calculator remote from the apparatus, for tracking the apparatus in the volume space and relating positions and orientations of the apparatus with a time-corresponding two-dimensional profile of the object for calculating a three-dimensional profile of the object and for referring the object to a static position and orientation.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Institut National d'OptiqueInventors: Michel Arsenault, Éric Harvey
