Patent number: 9258761Abstract: A method is provided with which a terminal can obtain information relating to a radio environment. The method includes the following steps: a discovery device receives a request from the terminal to discover a radio environment; the discovery device determines a list comprising a plurality of access points that belong respectively to an access network and are provided to supply radio coverage at a current location of the terminal; a piece of information is obtained relating to an access to a service by using the access points on the list; the list is enriched with the information obtained in association with the access point; the enriched list is scheduled according to at least one criterion relating to the service; and the ordered list is sent to the terminal by the discovery device.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: OrangeInventors: Gilles Bertrand, Frédéric Fieau, Gaël Fromentoux, Olivier Legrand

Patent number: 7161736Abstract: A microlens structure such as a solid immersion lens structure is a radiation transmissive pliant elastomer cast to a desired shape and smoothness. A method for construction of a solid immersion lens structure includes providing a mold defining a lens shaped cavity in which a solid immersion lens is cast, casting a translucent liquid elastomeric material into the lens cavity, permitting the elastomeric material to set to form the solid immersion lens portion and removing the solid immersion lens portion from the mold. A specific material for use as the solid immersion lens is a translucent silicone elastomer of a refractive index greater than n=1.4, such as General Electric RTV 615.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Olivier Legrand, Stephen R.

Publication number: 20050052754Abstract: Soft lithography with surface tension control is used to microfabricate extremely efficient solid immersion lenses (SILs) out of rubber elastomeric material for use in microscope type applications. In order to counteract the surface tension of the mold material in a negative mold that causes creep on a positive mold, material such as RTV is partially cured before use in order to allow the reticulation of polymer chains to change the viscosity of the uncured material in a controllable manner. In a specific embodiment, the techniques of soft lithography with surface tension control are used to make molded SILs out of the elastomer polydimethylsiloxane. The lenses achieve an NA in the range of 1.25. The principle of compound lens design is used to make the first compound solid immersion lens, which is corrected for higher light gathering ability and has a calculated NA=1.32.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2004Publication date: March 10, 2005Applicant: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Stephen Quake, Yann Gambin, Olivier Legrand
