Patent number: 9923106Abstract: A method for fabricating a photosensitive device, comprising: a first step of preparing, on a substrate, at least a first photosensitive portion, active within a range of wavelengths, the first portion being surrounded by a second portion that is inactive. A material, covering the first portion, is selectively arranged into a hydrophilic layer by an electrochemical process. The second portion comprises a hydrophobic material on an upper surface opposite the substrate. The method further comprises the following steps: spraying on the upper surfaces of the first and second portions a liquid comprising a transparent material, and forming a converging lens containing the material, above the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignees: Electricite de France, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique—CNRS—Inventors: Myriam Paire, Jean-Francois Guillemoles, Laurent Lombez, Daniel Lincot, Stephane Collin, Jean-Luc Pelouard

Publication number: 20160093759Abstract: A method for fabricating a photovoltaic device with light concentration, comprising: a first step of fabricating, on a substrate, a first array of photovoltaic cells from a stack of layers deposited on the substrate, the cells of the first array being connected to a first group of electrical connectors, a second step of forming a light concentration system above the cells of the first array. It further comprises: a third step, prior to at least the second step, of forming on the substrate a second array of photovoltaic cells from a stack of layers deposited on the substrate, the cells of the second array being interspersed with the cells of the first array and connected to a second group of electrical connectors, and being without a light concentration system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Myriam Paire, Jean-Francois Guillemoles, Laurent Lombez, Daniel Lincot, Stephane Collin, Jean-Luc Pelouard

Patent number: 8165810Abstract: A navigation system includes a display device displaying, on a cockpit pilot display unit, a set of indications including an aircraft symbol which illustrates the position of the aircraft and a map part which represents the airport and moves in relation to the aircraft symbol according to the current position of the aircraft in the airport, the aircraft symbol fixed on the cockpit pilot display unit in a centered position in a standard display. The system also has an actuating unit for deactivating the standard display to enable the aircraft symbol to be displaced on the cockpit pilot display unit, and an actuating unit for controlling a temporary displacement of the set of indications on the cockpit pilot display unit such that the aircraft symbol displayed moves away from the centered position.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Fabien Fetzmann, Pierre Coldefy, Armand Jacob, Stephane Collins

Patent number: 7772992Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) comprising a set (2) of information sources for determining the active values of a plurality of parameter of an aeroplane, calculating means (3) for determining, by means of said active values, a first position corresponding to a position which is extrapolated from the nose of the aeroplane following a particular time interval from the current instant. The inventive device also comprises a database (5) provided with at least one pre-determined unauthorized zone of the airport, comparison means (6) for comparing said first position to said pre-determined unauthorized zone of the airport, and warning means (9) for emitting at least one warning signal if the first position is located in the unauthorized zone.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2006Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Airbus FranceInventors: Fabien Fetzmann, Pierre Coldefy, Stephane Collins

Patent number: 7710261Abstract: A presentation device includes a searching device that searches for elements of an airport that are displayed on a display field of a screen. A verification device verifies, for each of the elements, whether the element forms part of a first group for which a main anchoring point is located inside a label zone or a second group for which the main anchoring point is located outside the label zone. A determining device determines, for the elements of the second group, a secondary anchoring point located at an intersection between an axis of the element and the label zone. For each element, a label for the element is presented on a screen. The labels associated with the first group are located at the main point and those associated with the second group are located at a secondary anchoring zone.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: AIRBUS FranceInventors: Fabien Fetzmann, Pierre Coldefy, Stephane Collins

Patent number: 7629663Abstract: This invention relates to an MSM type photo-detection device designed to detect incident light and comprising reflecting means (2) superposed on a support (1), to form a first mirror for a Fabry-Pérot type resonant cavity, a layer of material (3) that does not absorb light, an active layer (4) made of a semiconducting material absorbing incident light and a network (5) of polarization electrodes collecting the detected signal. The electrodes network is arranged on the active layer and is composed of parallel conducting strips at a uniform spacing at a period less than the wavelength of incident light, the electrodes network forming a second mirror for the resonant cavity, the optical characteristics of this second mirror being determined by the geometric dimensions of the said conducting strips. The distance separating the first mirror from the second mirror is determined to obtain a Fabry-Pérot type resonance for incident light between these two mirrors.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2003Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Centre National de la Recherche ScientifiqueInventors: Fabrice Pardo, Stephane Collin, Jean-Luc Pelouard
