20090128581CUSTOM TRANSITION FRAMEWORK FOR APPLICATION STATE TRANSITIONS - An application may feature a number of application states among which a process shifts during execution of the application. A user or software developer may wish to define one or more transitions to be rendered between a first application state and a second application state, but the application development environment and operating system may provide only a limited number of general-purpose transitions. Instead, a pluggable architecture may be devised to permit a user or software developer to provide a custom transition, and to specify the rendering of the custom transition between application states. The pluggable architecture may therefore enable the user or software developer to define new transitions that are more relevant and complementary of the application states in transit.05-21-2009

20100090069Anticollision Control System for a Vehicle - An anti-collision control system for one or more vehicles fitted with an onboard automatic pilot (self-guiding) allowing for bi-directional movements on a single track under the control of a ground-based automated traffic control unit of the CBTC type. The system includes: a signaling control unit of the AWS type for controlling ground signals on a section of a single-direction circulation lane; a first default control means based on which the signaling control unit imposes a single-direction movement to the vehicle running on the section of a single-direction circulation lane in order to avoid any collision with another vehicle controlled solely by the signaling control unit of the AWS type, i.e. independently from the ground-based automated traffic control unit. A first advantage of the invention is that a second control mode can be activated, in which a displacement of the vehicle piloted in opposite directions on a portion at least of the section of the initially single-direction circulation lane, can be initiated by way of a request for a control priority demand sent by the automated traffic control CBTC to the AWS signaling control unit, which in turn sends back an authorization (or refusal) signal RESP to said request.04-15-2010
20110118902METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR SAFE ROUTE CONTROL - In a communication system and an associated method for the secured control of a route followed by a vehicle running in an approach area of a moving area, the moving area is preceded by a closing signaling provided on the ground and adapted for informing the vehicle to stop. A safety timing is determined by a ground control unit for ensuring that the vehicle stops before entering the moving area. In parallel with the closing signaling, an information request from the ground control unit is transmitted to a control safety unit. The onboard control safety unit or an associated evaluation module evaluates the braking capacity of the vehicle and encodes the same into information requested by the ground control unit and then fed back to the ground control unit. Depending on the information state, the ground control unit minimizes the safety timing or even cancels the same completely.05-19-2011

20110026909OPTICAL 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
20110164323OPTICAL 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
20120127360IMAGE-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

20110019207METHOD FOR OPTICAL CHARACTERISATION - A method for the optical characterisation of repeat units repeated in a regular manner so as to form a diffraction structure, each repeat unit including at least one geometric pattern, each of the patterns being produced, at least in part, using a porous material. The method includes determining the geometric parameters of the patterns and performing a scatterometric acquisition of the experimental optical response of the diffraction structure placed in a chamber at a given pressure, the presence of an adsorbable gaseous substance in the chamber causing condensation of the adsorbable gaseous substance in at least one part of open pores of the patterns of the structure. The method also includes determining the theoretical optical response of the diffraction structure from the determined geometric parameters and by adjusting the optical index of the material of the area of each of the patterns, in which the adsorbable gaseous substance has condensed, so as to make the difference between the experimental response and the theoretical response less than or equal to a given threshold.01-27-2011
