Abstract:
A laser device suitable for emitting pulses with a variable period and with stabilized energy includes: a resonant cavity including an amplifying medium presenting a stabilized gain G and suitable for emitting laser pulses at a wavelength λ, and a Q-switch, and a source of continuous pumping of the amplifying medium. It furthermore includes an injector positioned outside the resonant cavity, suitable for emitting a beam of wavelength λ into the amplifying material for the duration of the pumping, and which includes means for adjusting the power of this beam in order to reduce the gain of the amplifying medium to G/k, where k is a real number greater than 1.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treating fumes generated during the production, conversion and/or handling of oil-based products and a device for carrying out said method. The invention further relates to the use of the method or device in which the trapping device comprises at least one fluidized bed of granular material in the preparation of a granular material for use in production of road materials.
Abstract:
The invention proposes a method for allocating, to a plurality of elements, authorisations for access to a shared resource, including the step (E4) of storing the address of elements capable of accessing the shared resource, characterised in that it includes the steps of determining (E6), for the plurality of elements, a number (TTJ) of authorisations for access to the resource, the said authorisations together forming a cycle, then successively assigning (E8, E80) each of the said authorisations to the elements, during the said cycle, an access authorisation being assigned to an element according to at least the number of times the element under consideration accessed the resource during the preceding cycle, and finally storing (E88, E890) the number of times each element accesses the resource during the said cycle.
Abstract:
An optical apparatus for ranging and communication in free space comprises a rangefinder comprising a device for transmitting an optical signal to a target and a device for receiving the signals backscattered by the target. A system for optical communication in free space comprises a device for transmitting an optical signal to a remote optical receiving device. The transmitting device of the rangefinder and transmitting device of the communication system is a transmitting device common to the rangefinder and communication system and transmitting pulses of peak power greater than 50 W and shape factor less than 0.01 or a modulated continuous signal of peak power less than 10 W and shape factor equal to approximately 0.5 and the apparatus comprises a supervisor controlling the common transmitting device according to two modes, the pulse mode to perform the ranging function, or the modulated continuous mode to perform the optical communication function.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a range-finder comprising a laser pulse emission device and a device for detecting the pulses reflected by a distant object.The emission device is capable of emitting pulses of N distinct wavelengths, N being an integer greater than 1, with, for each wavelength, a pulse repetition frequency less than a predetermined threshold frequency.Thus, no given wavelength emission will be faced with the problem of distance ambiguity.
Abstract:
A range finder includes a device for transmitting a laser beam and a device for receiving the laser echoes backscattered by a target, comprising a frontal optical system focusing the echoes on a detection zone which comprises at least one elementary detection zone associated with an individual detector with a large bandwidth, referred to as a temporal detector, and means for transporting the detection zone to the individual detector. An elementary zone is furthermore associated with a low-noise individual detector, referred to as a spatial detector, and the receive device furthermore comprises, connected to the transporting means, a switch suitable for associating said elementary detection zone with the temporal detector and with the spatial detector, alternately or in a static manner.

Abstract:
The methods for transmission of sequences or frames of data provide for retransmitting, with a central device (21), frames of data which reach it, to destination devices, by transmission of downlink frames when the destination device is a peripheral device (24), each downlink frame having systematically a service message activating a protocol controlling access to the transmission medium shared by the central device (21) and the peripheral devices (24), and possibly a frame of data. The central device (21) and at least one peripheral device (24) form a system which is particularly well suited to a local area network, notably with a wireless transmission medium.
