Patent number: 11156551Abstract: A device and method for observing an object, in particular a biological object includes a light source able to illuminate a sample. Under the effect of the illumination, the object emits back-scattered radiation that propagates to a screen, the area of which is larger than 100 cm2. The projection of the back-scattered radiation onto the screen forms an image representative of the back-scattered radiation, called a scattergram. An image sensor allows an image representative of the scattergram formed on the screen to be acquired.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignees: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES, INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE APPLICATIONSInventors: Emmanuelle Schultz, Damien Decq, Michel Roch, Selimen Benahmed

Patent number: 11112357Abstract: A device and method for observing an object, in particular a biological object, includes a light source able to illuminate a sample, and a screen lying between the light source and the object. The screen includes an aperture, through which propagates the illuminating beam produced by the light source and propagating toward the screen. Under the effect of the illumination, the object emits back-scattered radiation that propagates to the screen, the area of which is preferably larger than 100 cm2. The projection of the back-scattered radiation onto the screen forms an image representative of the back-scattered radiation, called a scattergram. An image sensor allows an image representative of the scattergram formed on the screen to be acquired.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignees: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES, INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE APPLICATIONSInventors: Emmanuelle Schultz, Damien Decq, Michel Roch

Patent number: 7800012Abstract: An electron gun includes a sealed chamber under vacuum. A cathode having an emitting face is placed inside the chamber. An anode forms a sealed window, formed facing the emitting face in one of the walls of the chamber. The anode is capable of allowing electrons emitted by the emitting face to pass through. A biasing apparatus sets up a voltage between the anode and the cathode, capable of accelerating these electrons towards the anode, the electrons thus accelerated forming a beam that passes through the anode. The anode and the emitting face each have a curvature, the curvature of the anode making it capable of resisting a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the chamber and being designed to cooperate with the curvature of the emitting face to focus the electron beam outside the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2004Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignees: La Calhene, Physique & IndustrieInventors: Michel Roche, Philippe Fontcuberta

Patent number: 7600383Abstract: The turbojet of the invention includes a combustion chamber, a channel for heating the gas stream, where the heating channel includes at least one device for injection of fuel into the gas stream, which includes an open chamber, with a U-shaped section, having at least one wall within which extend fuel-injection means, which inject the fuel in at least one direction. It is characterised by the fact that a cooling jacket is provided in the chamber, alongside the wall forming the base of its U-section, and the fuel injection device includes protection means interposed between the fuel-injection means and the wall, in a fuel-injection direction. Thus, as a result of the invention, the fuel injection device, which is bathed in a very hot environment, is protected against thermal shocks due to the projection of colder fuel onto its walls, and its life expectancy is therefore increased.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Jacques Marcel Arthur Bunel, Jacques André Michel Roche, Alain Pierre Page

Patent number: 7169686Abstract: An apparatus for cutting at least one thin layer from a substrate or ingot forming element for an electronic or optoelectronic or optical component or sensor. This apparatus includes a device for directing a pulse of energy into the substrate or forming element wherein the pulse has a duration shorter than or of the same order as that needed by a sound wave to pass through the thickness of the weakened zone, and the energy of the pulse is sufficient to cause cleavage to take place in the weakened zone as the energy of the pulse is absorbed therein. The apparatus also includes an assembly for holding or orienting the substrate or ingot forming element so that the energy pulse is completely uniformly directed over the entire surface, through the face and into the substrate or ingot forming element to cause cleavage to take place in the weakened zone as the energy of the pulse is absorbed therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: S.O.I.
