Abstract:
A curved multi-layer structure (10) is formed from individual films (1, 2) that are initially flat. The films are firmly bonded to each other along respective facing surfaces. A heat treatment is applied to one or both of the films (1, 2) of the structure so as to cause respective contractions or elongations that are different for the two films at standard use temperatures. A difference between said contractions or elongations causes the curvature of the multi-layer structure. The structure thus has a permanent curved shape, without contact between compression-forming instruments and a useful part of the multi-layer structure being necessary. The multi-layer structure can then be applied onto a curved substrate without causing any tears or ripples.
Abstract:
The device enables strains of at least one surface (1) of a sample (2) to be measured versus temperature. Strains in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined plane, for example the plane of the surface (1), are measured by composite images. Strains in said plane are measured by image correlation. The measurements by image correlation and by composite images use a common visible light detection camera (3). The sample (2) is arranged in an enclosure (6) transparent at least locally to visible light (L). At least one infrared emitter (9) enables an infrared light to be created in a spectral band for a large part not detected by the camera (3).
Abstract:
A spectacle lens comprising a base lens (1) and a thin structure (2) that are assembled with each other with an intermediate spacer (30). The spacer is situated along a peripheral edge (12) of the base lens, and a separation space that is determined by said spacer between said base lens and said thin structure contains a gaseous medium during use of the spectacle lens by a wearer. Assembly of the spectacle base lens with the thin structure may be permanent or removable.
