  • Publication number: 20240004257
    Abstract: A multispectral filter matrix for an electromagnetic wave, the matrix including at least a first and a second optoelectronic element, each optoelectronic element including a colour filter and a photoelectric transducer facing the filter, each colour filter forming a Fabry-Perot cavity including a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer and a Fabry-Perot cavity layer of dielectric material between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer, the layer of dielectric material including a lower surface, in contact with the first reflective layer; the lower surface being curved, an upper surface in contact with the second reflective layer, the upper surface being curved, the average thicknesses of the two layers of dielectric material of the two filters being different.

  • Publication number: 20230244019
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multispectral filter for electromagnetic radiation including two colour filters each including a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer, a layer of dielectric material of Fabry-Perot cavity, the thickness of the dielectric layer of both colour filters being different and each of both filters facing a photoelectric transducer. The method includes depositing a resin layer onto a handle substrate, structuring the resin layer to obtain two resin patterns of different heights, at least one of the patterns having a maximum reference height; depositing a dielectric layer to form the dielectric patterns of the Fabry-Perot cavities and planarising; transferring the planarised face of the handle substrate to the upper face of a carrier substrate; removing the handle substrate and the resin and depositing a reflective layer onto the at least two dielectric patterns of Fabry-Perot cavity, forming the second reflective layer.

  • Patent number: 10982716
    Abstract: A bearing assembly having cylindrical rolling elements, an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of cylindrical rolling elements arranged radially between the internal raceway and external raceway. The inner ring includes an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the internal raceway, a fillet in the form of a circular arc being defined between the annular shoulder and internal raceway. The outer ring has an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the external raceway, the annular shoulder of the outer ring being housed axially between the annular shoulder of the inner ring and the cylindrical rolling elements. The annular shoulder of the outer ring is provided with an annular chamfer in the immediate vicinity of the fillet defined on the inner ring.

  • Patent number: 10927894
    Abstract: A roller bearing having a first race, a second race, the races being coaxial and in relative rotation about a central axis, and a row of rollers. The first race including a circumferential groove disposed on a surface radially opposite the first bearing track, and at least one hole traversing the race substantially radially and opening out close to the first bearing track. The first race also provides a secondary groove extending in a substantially radial direction and connecting the circumferential groove to the hole. As such, it is possible for lubricant to be transferred from the circumferential groove to the hole via the secondary groove.
