Method for processing a raw image collected by a bolometer detector and associated device

A method for processing a raw image characterized by raw measurements S(i,j) that are associated with active bolometers B_(i,j) of an imager, which bolometers are arranged in a matrix array, the imager being at an ambient temperature Tand furthermore comprising blind bolometers B_(k), the method, which is executed by a computer that is provided with a memory, comprising the following steps: a) a step of calculating the electrical resistances R(i,j) and R(k), at the temperature T, of the active and blind bolometers, respectively, from their respective electrical resistances R(i,j) and R(k) at a reference temperature T, said resistances being stored in the memory; b) a step of determining the temperatures T(i,j) actually measured by each of the active bolometers B_(i,j) from the electrical resistances calculated in step a) and from the raw measurements S(i,j).

An optical chamber for a gas detection device, which includes reflecting device for reflecting radiation issued from a radiation source and for redirecting the radiation toward a radiation detector, the reflecting device including a first series of adjacent mirrors and a second series of adjacent mirrors. The mirrors of the first series and the mirrors of the second series are of the truncated ellipsoid of revolution type. The first series of mirrors and the second series of mirrors are arranged relative to each other so that the radiation emitted by the radiation source is reflected alternatively by a mirror of the second series and by a mirror of the first series and defines an optical path extending from the radiation source to the radiation detector.

Optical chamber for a gas detection device

A detection system that includes an emitter, a power supply source, a receiver, a detector, and a processor. The emitter includes a light-emitting diode that emits a luminous signal. The power supply source applies a constant voltage to the light-emitting diode. The receiver senses the luminous signal emitted by the light-emitting diode and generates a first input signal representative of the luminous signal detected. The detector measures the current passing through the light-emitting diode and generates a second input signal representative of the current measured. The processor is connected to the receiver and provides an output signal as a function of the first input signal and of the second input signal.

Low-energy-consumption temperature compensation for a detection system

The invention concerns a detection device including a photodiode (Ph) designed to capture a luminous signal to transform it into a current (Iph) and including first and second terminals, a transimpedance amplifier circuit connected between the first terminal and the second terminal of the photodiode (Ph) and designed to amplify the current (Iph) coming from the photodiode (Ph). The transimpedance amplifier circuit includes a plurality of operational amplifiers (AOP1, AOP2, AOP3) connected in parallel and a gain resistor (R) common to all the connected amplifiers.

An electrical switching device that can be employed in a sliding button, a rotating button, in a position switch, or an impact sensor. This device includes: a permanent magnet creating a magnetic field and a microswitch controlled between at least two states, by being aligned along two different orientations of field lines of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. The microswitch and the permanent magnet are fixed relative to one another and a movable ferromagnetic part is moved between two positions so as to act on the orientation of the field lines generated by the permanent magnet so as to impose on the microswitch one or other of its two states.
