Abstract

A method for localising and characterising one or more electromagnetic radiation sources is proposed. The method comprises the steps of: measuring one or more electrical signals received from the one or more sources placed in an observation region in front of a sampling apparatus; time-reversing the measured one or more electrical signals; inputting the one or more time-reversed electrical signals into an electromagnetic field solver modelling the sampling apparatus, and configured to solve Maxwell's equations; determining a reconstructed electromagnetic field by running the electromagnetic field solver with the one or more time-reversed electrical signals as one or more input signals; identifying one or more focal spots in the reconstructed electromagnetic field to thereby locate one or more modelled sources in a simulated observation region; and obtaining a respective far-field radiation pattern for the one or more modelled sources directly or indirectly from the reconstructed electromagnetic field.

Abstract

The present invention concerns a device (1) for removing particles from a material in movement, wherein said particles comprise or are made of a substance that is attracted by a magnet (5). In a practical embodiment, the device (1) is used to remove iron particles from a stream of flour, for example flour produced in a mill and being dropped by way of gravity through the device (1) of the invention. The device (1) comprises a trapping arrangement (7) that is movably connected with respect to the device (1) in such a manner that a first trapping area (7a) is in a trapping position inside a channel (4) of the device (1) while a second trapping area (7b) is in a release position, releasing trapped particles. The trapping arrangement (7) moves such that said second area (7b) gets into the trapping position and the first area (7a) to the release position. The device (1) is self-cleaning and allows continuous removal of iron particles.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for measuring the intraocular pressure of an eye of a human or animal, having a resonator (12) designed to cause vibration of the eyeball (10) in which the intraocular pressure is to be measured, a generator (21) for generating a laser beam to be sent to said eyeball, and an interferometer (15) for producing a network of interferences between a laser half-beam (17) emitted by the generator (21) and a laser half-beam (16) reflected by said eyeball, and means for interpreting said interferences in order to deduce therefrom the intraocular pressure of said eyeball. The measuring method involves analyzing said network of interferences caused by the phase shift between the two half-beams, and deducing the modes of vibration of the eyeball, which depend on the intraocular pressure, by processing the signal corresponding to said interferences.

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic field generator (10) comprising an assembly of anisotropic permanent magnets (30) that define air gaps (40) within which the magnetic flux is concentrated. The permanent magnet assembly consists of two assembly elements (21, 22) mounted on a carrier (50) symmetrically relative to a central axis of symmetry (A-A) and perpendicular to a middle plane (B-B) of the air gaps (40). The carrier (50) includes two substantially identical portions, i.e. an upper portion (50a) and a lower portion (50b). The upper portion (50a) consists of two identical arms (51a, 51b) arranged symmetrically relative to the central axis of symmetry (A-A). The lower portion (50b) consists of two identical arms (52a, 52b) arranged symmetrically relative to the central axis of symmetry (A-A). The ends of the identical arms (51a, 51b) have two anisotropic permanent magnets (30), respectively, wherein said permanent magnets are provided in the form of parallelepiped or cubical blocks. The magnetic circuit generated in each of the arms is closed by an arcuate block (61, 62) that is made of a ferromagnetic material and mounted on the end faces of the corresponding permanent magnets (30).
