Abstract:
An imaging array of the charge transfer type having improved sensitivity is disclosed. The array includes a plurality of substantially parallel charge transfer channels with channel stops therebetween which extend a distance into a semiconductor body. At least some of the channel stops have blooming drains therein for the removal of excess photogenerated charge. The improvement comprises potential barrier means which constrain electrical charge generated by absorption of light in the body to flow into the channels while preventing the loss of such charge by direct flow to the blooming drains. Potential barrier means include buried barrier regions extending a further distance into the body from those channel stops having blooming drain regions therein.The invention also includes an improved method of forming this array wherein the improvement comprises forming buried barrier regions containing a greater concentration of conductivity modifiers than the channel stops after the blooming drains are formed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the technical field of photography and videography, in particular to a gear fine-tuning pan-tilt. The gear fine-tuning pan-tilt includes a rotating base, a roll worm support seat, a roll adjusting assembly, a pitch adjusting assembly, and a bearing seat arranged in sequence from bottom to top; the pitch adjusting assembly of the complete gear structure is located on the above, providing large-angle pitch ability, and the roll adjusting assembly located below adopts an arc-shaped rack structure, which reduces the interference to the pitching movement of the upper assembly and makes the height of the pan-tilt smaller. The arc opening of the arc-shaped rack faces upwards, so that the rotation axis is closer to the center axis of the lens, the camera displacement is small during the leveling process, and the unintended picture movement is small. The upper and lower combination of the two structures strengthens the swing ability of the top of the pan-tilt in the limited size, and is therefore more convenient to use: firstly aiming at the subject through the rotating base, and then leveling the left and right, and then determining the pitch angle. The camera always maintains the left and right level during pitching process. There is no need to level the left and right again after the pitch angle is changed, and roll deviation will not occur when the camera pitches and the lens is moved.

A system is proposed for conveying loads without sequencing, between storage units and preparation stations. The system includes first and second collecting conveyors, positioned on a same horizontal plane, parallel, mono-directional and having opposite directions of movement, to connect each storage unit to the first collector, storage unit entry and exit conveyors; to connect each preparation station to the second collector, preparation station entry and exit conveyors; for at least one couple including a storage unit and a preparation station facing each other on either side of the first and second collectors, a pair of junction conveyors interconnecting the first and second collecting conveyors and including outbound and return junction conveyors having opposite directions of movement.
Abstract:
An automatic locker device is configured for handling loads with operations of loading and retrieval. The device includes at least one storage zone for storing loads, at least one retrieval point and a handling mechanism, which is configured to move the loads from the at least one storage zone to the at least one retrieval point, for the retrieval operations. The automatic locker device also includes at least one buffer zone, distinct from the at least one storage zone. The handling mechanism is configured to move the loads from the at least one buffer zone to the at least one storage zone, for the loading operations.
Abstract:
A mooring device for mooring a water craft to a mooring berth. The mooring device includes an engaging element borne by the water craft or the mooring berth, and a lock borne by the mooring berth or the water craft, respectively. The lock includes two catch bars spaced out and extending vertically, at least a part of the engaging element being adapted to engaging between the two bars so as to be held by the lock and enabling the mooring of the water craft to the mooring berth. The catch bars are mobile relative to each other between a locking position in which the catch bars are brought closer to each other and maintain the engaging element and an unlocking position in which the catch bars are moved apart to enable the removal or insertion of the engaging element.

Abstract:
A system for sequencing a preparing station that sequences loads coming from an external unit via an entering outbound conveyor. The system includes a paternoster, a buffer location and a managing unit, which processes each load that comes to an entrance of the paternoster according to one of the following modes (selected as a function of a place desired for the load in a sequence): (a) after introduction into the paternoster, the load undergoes a bypass transfer between two nacelles positioned face to face and then presented to an exiting outbound conveyor; (b) after introduction into the paternoster, the load undergoes a buffer transfer towards a given buffer location and then subsequently re-positioned again in the paternoster and finally presented to the exiting outbound conveyor; (c) after introduction into the paternoster, the load is transported therein without bypass transfer or buffer transfer and then presented to the exiting outbound conveyor.
