Abstract: A system for printing a multi-layer document includes no less than two continuous feed simplex printing devices that each print on no more than one of a plurality of media webs. An in-line post-processing device merges the media webs into a multi-layer document. The system also may have a controller that controls the printing devices and the post-processing device from a single synchronized dataflow. A method prints a multi-layer document, including the steps of simultaneously printing on no less than two media webs by a plurality of roll fed printers that each print on only one of the media webs; and merging the media webs from the plurality of roll fed printers in an inline post-processing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting, at a given moment, a light difference between two light detection elements. The invention has application in the technical field of imaging, and more particularly in cameras comprising the invention device. The invention describes a device for detecting a light variation between two locations (20, 21, 22) placed on one surface of a camera body (23) and calculating a corresponding difference. The camera comprises light measuring cells (1C, 2C, 3C) arranged regularly around the viewer (20), the flash (21), and the lens (22). A light differential existing between two locations, for example between the viewer (20) and the lens (22), automatically generates a calculation of this light difference, to compare it with a set or reference value (Vr). A warning device linked to the invention device is activated if the light difference exceeds the set value (Vr).

Abstract: A one-time use camera including film. The camera comprises a shutter release and a device adapted to deactivate a camera function in order to prevent unauthorized reuse of the camera. The deactivating device comprises: a first counter whose value can be changed when it is detected successively that, on the one hand, the film is moved inside the camera and that, on the other hand, the shutter release is activated, and, a detector for detecting the film movement. The camera function is deactivated when the first counter reaches a limit value S.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for controlling a complex manufacturing process. The device comprises at least one remote monitor designed to receive in real time signals through a local area network making it possible to analyse the state of the manufacturing process. There are a plurality of sensors, each of the sensors transforming the value of an associated parameter of the manufacturing process so as to produce an analogue signal. There is an analogue to digital converter associated with each of the sensors for producing a succession of numerical values representing the instantaneous state over time of the corresponding parameter. Each of the converters is interfaced with the local area network.
