  • Patent number: 8509928
    Abstract: Method for producing a stationary wave field of arbitrary shape comprising the steps of defining at least one volume being limited in the direction of the axis of propagation of a beam, of the type 0?z?L; defining an intensity pattern within the said region 0?z?L by a function F(z), describing the said localized and stationary intensity pattern, which is approximated by means of a Fourier expansion or by a similar expansion in terms of (trigonometric) orthogonal functions; providing a generic superposition of Bessel or other beams highly transversally confined; calculating the maximum number of superimposed Bessel beams the amplitudes, the phase velocities and the relative phases of each Bessel beam of the superposition, and the transverse and longitudinal wavenumbers of each Bessel beam of the superposition.

  • Publication number: 20070255728
    Abstract: According to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus and method for distributed storing and retrieving of paper documents and their electronic means is disclosed. In this context, storing of documents refers to the efficient management of storage and document retrieval based not only on image but also on document contents means such as words, concepts, numbers etc. The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide for easy and effective indexing, storing, retrieving, searching and managing of paper-based documents and their contents. The proposed apparatus and method implement a desktop solution for filing which can be made available to each worker. Uniquely, the digital means filing system of the present invention allows user to index and label documents whenever desired prior of storing original in a file box which includes a memory device able to contain documents means such as image and contents in electronic format.

  • Publication number: 20070119970
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for coagulation and dispersion of fog and an installation thereof, in particular a system for fog dispersal over automobile roads, highways, roundabouts, and rail roads. The process produces fog or mist particle coagulation using fields of sonic, ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves generated with a power density level and then projected to a selected area of an open space where they produce forces on particles and then movement of abovementioned particles, said movement producing coagulation and further aggregation.
