  • Publication number: 20170255338
    Abstract: In a method for determining force applied to an ultrasonic sensor, ultrasonic signals are emitted from an ultrasonic sensor. A plurality of reflected ultrasonic signals from a finger interacting with the ultrasonic sensor is captured. A first data based at least in part on a first reflected ultrasonic signal of the plurality of reflected ultrasonic signals is compared with a second data based at least in part on a second reflected ultrasonic signal of the plurality of reflected ultrasonic signals. A deformation of the finger during interaction with the ultrasonic sensor is determined based on differences between the first data based at least in part on the first reflected ultrasonic signal and the second data based at least in part on the second reflected ultrasonic signal. A force applied by the finger to the ultrasonic sensor is determined based at least in part on the deformation.

  • Patent number: 8262843
    Abstract: A curved multi-layer structure (10) is formed from individual films (1, 2) that are initially flat. The films are firmly bonded to each other along respective facing surfaces. A heat treatment is applied to one or both of the films (1, 2) of the structure so as to cause respective contractions or elongations that are different for the two films at standard use temperatures. A difference between said contractions or elongations causes the curvature of the multi-layer structure. The structure thus has a permanent curved shape, without contact between compression-forming instruments and a useful part of the multi-layer structure being necessary. The multi-layer structure can then be applied onto a curved substrate without causing any tears or ripples.

  • Patent number: 7460216
    Abstract: The device enables strains of at least one surface (1) of a sample (2) to be measured versus temperature. Strains in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined plane, for example the plane of the surface (1), are measured by composite images. Strains in said plane are measured by image correlation. The measurements by image correlation and by composite images use a common visible light detection camera (3). The sample (2) is arranged in an enclosure (6) transparent at least locally to visible light (L). At least one infrared emitter (9) enables an infrared light to be created in a spectral band for a large part not detected by the camera (3).
