Abstract: An intra-oral dental radiological image sensor is mechanically reinforced by two front RA and rear RB mechanical reinforcing plates each inserted between a respective face of an image capture module and a respective front 20A and rear 20B shell bottom of a casing. The front reinforcing plate is a solid plate, made of material transparent to X rays, covering the photosensitive front face (scintillator) of the module, and harder than the front shell. The rear plate, less thick than the front plate, is harder than the rear shell and comprises an opening O provided to surround, without covering them, components present on the rear face of the module, under a rear shell dome.

Abstract: The invention relates to medical imaging and more particularly to intra-oral dental radiology. It proposes a radiological imaging assembly comprising an intra-oral image sensor 10, in which the sensor has an active face A corresponding to the photosensitive surface, and a mirror M1 which is placed in front of the active face of the sensor, the mirror face reflecting the visible light being turned in the same direction as the active face of the sensor, toward an X-ray source. The mirror can be disposed on the sensor itself, on the front face cap 23 of the encapsulation housing 20 of the sensor and/or on the outer face of an accessory containing or supporting the sensor, the outer face being turned in the same direction as the active face of the sensor.

Abstract: The invention relates to medical imaging and, more specifically, to intraoral dental radiology. The sensor according to the invention includes a series (SPHx) of detection photodiodes for detecting the arrival of an X-ray flash. The series of photodiodes occupies the location of a central column of the matrix of pixels. The signal of the missing pixel in each row can be reconstructed by interpolating the signals provided by the adjacent pixels of the row. The detection photodiodes are identical to the photodiodes of the active CMOS pixels. They are all electrically connected on one side to a reference potential and on the other side to a detection conductor (CD) extending along the series of photodiodes. This detection conductor is connected to a detection circuit (DX) delivering a signal for triggering the capture of an image when the detected current or the variation in this current exceeds a threshold showing that an X-ray flash has been initiated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the improvement of the passband of physical systems. Use is made of a finite impulse response filter which is calculated in the following manner, on the basis of the behavior (observed or known) of the physical system: the impulse response a(t) of the physical system according to a temporal or spatial variable is determined; an impulse response b(t) of similar form but compressed according to the scale of the variable t in a ratio n and expanded in amplitude in the same ratio is calculated sample by sample, and the coefficients of a finite impulse response filter able to provide at its output the signal b(t) when the signal a(t) is applied to its input are calculated. This finite impulse response filter is incorporated into the physical system, preferably at the output, so as to improve the passband thereof in the ratio n.

Abstract: An acoustically resistive layer for an acoustic attenuation panel (22) forming a conduit in which there is an aerodynamic flow (18), adapted particularly for an aircraft turbo jet engine. The panel has at least one acoustically resistive layer (24), at least one porous structure (26) and a reflector (28) disposed opposite the incident wave. The acoustically resistive layer (24) is constituted by strips (30) disposed in the direction of the flow (18), interconnected by a plurality of splints (32) ensuring the absorption of force, particularly radially, the splints (32) having very small surfaces ensuring the continuity of the homogeneous character of the quantity of open surface of the acoustically resistive layer thus formed.
