| 20110026909 | OPTICAL SYSTEM FURNISHED WITH A DEVICE FOR INCREASING ITS DEPTH OF FIELD - To increase the depth of field of an optical system, an inversion of the chromatism is produced. This accommodates the fact that, in natural light, users prefer, for their photographs, taking long distance shots outdoors, where the illuminant is mostly composed of blue, and short-distance shots indoors, where the illuminant is mostly composed of red. While optical devices naturally focus the blue components at a shorter distance than the red components, which is unfavorable, with an inversion of the chromatism, a focus more in keeping with what is required is restored. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110164323 | OPTICAL SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH A DEVICE FOR AUGMENTING ITS DEPTH OF FIELD - In order to increase the depth of field of an optical system, there is provision to add a phase object, interposed between an object (O) to be imaged and an image plane ( | 07-07-2011 |

| 20120127360 | IMAGE-CAPTURE SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH TWO OPERATING MODES - The invention relates to a system for capturing at least one image of a scene. The system comprises: an optical system, a sensor, an autofocus module for adjusting the focus of the system, and a digital processing means. The system estimates at least one value representative of the sharpness in at least one area of at least one initial captured image of a scene. The autofocus module captures the initial image with a predefined focus. On the basis of at least the value representative of the estimated sharpness, the system selects a first operating mode or a second operating mode. In the first mode, the autofocus module controls the focus of the system to capture a sharper image of the scene. In the second mode, the initial captured image or another captured image is processed by the digital processing means, the other image being captured with the predefined focus. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20110161792 | PRODUCING INTERACTIVE DOCUMENTS - A method for converting a source document having graphical subject matter into an interactive document includes receiving, via a user interface, input regarding information to be tagged to objects on the source document and tagging information to objects on the source document in response to the input, thereby creating interactive effects based on the tagged information. The interactive effects can include pop-ups, external e-mail and URLs, and other interactive behavioral actions. A set of files that defines an interactive document is automatically created, wherein the interactive document incorporates the subject matter of the source document and includes the interactive effects. In another aspect, a computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method of converting a source document having graphical subject matter into an interactive document is provided. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100099650 | NASAL SPRAY COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR TREATING RHINITIS, SINUSITIS OR BOTH - A nasal spray composition for treating mucosal inflammation associated with rhinitis, sinusitis, or both can include a decongestant and at least one therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of an anti-inflammatory agent and an anti-histamine agent. The nasal spray composition is non-habituating and is administered intranasally to a subject in need thereof. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20090004536 | Direct methanol fuel cell process tower - A direct methanol fuel cell integrated process assembly is provided. The assembly includes a housing, a fuel mixing/surge tank and an air/liquid separator integrated to the housing. A vent of the mixer/surge tank is at least proximal to a vent of the separator. The housing further includes at least one condensation pathway integrated along the housing, where the pathway enables exhaust condensates to return to the assembly. At least one exhaust port is provided, which vents directly to a cooling airstream to facilitate exhaust removal. A manifold is also provided, with the fuel valve, a water valve, a fuel pump and a water pump integrated with the housing, where the integrated process assembly reduces an amount of plumbing between the a liquid volume in the mixer and the separator. Further, a water volume of the process assembly is reduced and a form factor of the process assembly is also reduced. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20120005885 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STACKING FUEL CELLS - An apparatus for fuel cell stacking includes an assembly jig having a base; an alignment assembly configured to be engaged with the base; and a compression assembly configured to be engaged with the alignment assembly. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120009493 | COMPRESSION OF DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL STACKS WITH CATALYST COATED MEMBRANES AND MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY - An apparatus to control a swelling of a catalyst coated membrane in a fuel cell includes an insulator layer provided at a perimeter of the fuel cell. The insulator layer has a plurality of insulator films and is secured to a flow field plate. The insulator layer has a less compressibility relative to a gasket used in the fuel cell. A method for controlling a swelling of a catalyst coated membrane in a fuel cell includes providing an insulator layer at a perimeter of each of fuel cells in a fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stack is compressed for a predetermined duration when the catalyst coated membrane is in a substantially dry state. Passage of fuel is allowed inside the fuel cell thereby facilitating the catalyst coated membrane to swell. A swollen catalyst coated membrane is allowed to contact the insulator layer. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20080207790 | Earplug - An earplug comprising a foam composition comprising a polyvinyl chloride resin and less than about 5 wt % monomeric phthalate, based on the total weight of the foam composition, is described. The foam composition may comprise a plasticizer comprising less than or equal to about 2 wt % monomeric phthalate, based on the total weight of the plasticizer. The earplugs have slow recovery times from 60 percent compression to 10 percent compression of about 10 to about 60 seconds. | 08-28-2008 |
