Description

Procédé d'exposition d'un corps vivant à des rayonnements lumineux monochromes et moyens destinés à le mettre en oeuvre Method of exposing a living body to monochrome light radiation and means for carrying it out
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé d'exposition du corps d'un être vivant à une ou plu¬ sieurs séquences d'une série de rayonnements lumineux monochromes en vue de remédier à un état de fatigue ou de stress.The present invention relates to a method of exposing the body of a living being to one or more sequences of a series of monochrome light rays in order to remedy a state of fatigue or stress.
Il s'agit plus généralement d'un procédé utili¬ sant efficacement la sensibilité dermo-optique du corps d'un être vivant à des fins de relaxation ou d'harmoni¬ sation. La sensibilité du corps d'un être vivant à la lumière est utilisée abondamment dans diverses techni¬ ques de photothérapie.It is more generally a process effectively using the dermo-optical sensitivity of the body of a living being for the purpose of relaxation or harmonization. The sensitivity of the body of a living being to light is used extensively in various phototherapy techniques.
On peut citer d'abord le traitement des dépres¬ sions saisonnières par une immersion prolongée du sujet habillé dans un bain de lumière intense blanche, de pré¬ férence en éclairage indirect, destinée à pallier arti¬ ficiellement le manque de lumière consécutif à la dimi¬ nution du jour en automne.We can first mention the treatment of seasonal depression by prolonged immersion of the subject dressed in a bath of intense white light, preferably in indirect lighting, intended to compensate artificially for the lack of light consecutive to dimi ¬ nution of the day in autumn.
Mais, cette méthode n'utilisant que la voie vi- suelle avec de la lumière blanche, la sensibilité dermo-optique n'est nullement mise en oeuvre.However, since this method uses only the visual route with white light, dermo-optical sensitivity is in no way implemented.
Il existe, par ailleurs, des techniques de pho¬ tothérapie dont le principe actif repose sur l'utilisa¬ tion d'un rayonnement lumineux monochrome. L'exposition à un rayonnement ultraviolet est couramment utilisée par les dermatologues pour le trai¬ tement de certaines affections cutanées telles le pso¬ riasis et l'eczéma atopique.There are, moreover, phototherapy techniques, the active principle of which is based on the use of monochrome light radiation. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is commonly used by dermatologists for the treatment of certain skin conditions such as pso¬ riasis and atopic eczema.
L'ictère néonatal ou jaunisse du nouveau-né peut être également traité par exposition à une lumière sé¬ lective bleue qui présente la propriété ou les effets de neutraliser la bilirubine, molécule responsable de la pigmentation jaune.Neonatal jaundice or jaundice in newborns can also be treated by exposure to selective blue light which has the property or effects of neutralizing bilirubin, the molecule responsible for yellow pigmentation.
Si l'illumination d'une zone du corps ou son ex¬ position à un seul rayonnement lumineux monochrome pro¬ cure des résultats thérapeutiques dans divers domaines, notamment cutanés, le traitement photothérapique de nom¬ breux autres traumatismes ou affections se révèle peu fiable.If the illumination of an area of the body or its exposure to a single monochrome light radiation provides therapeutic results in various fields, in particular the skin, phototherapeutic treatment of many other traumas or affections proves to be unreliable.
Mais surtout l'exposition à un rayonnement lumi¬ neux monochrome ne procure pas de façon fiable 1 ' amélio- ration rapide d'un état de stress ou de fatigue.But above all, exposure to monochrome light radiation does not reliably provide rapid improvement in a state of stress or fatigue.
La présente invention a pour but, en sollicitant d'une certaine manière la sensibilité dermo-optique du corps entier ou d'une partie de celui-ci, d'arriver à des résultats entièrement satisfaisants, dans les domai- nés de la relaxation et de la remise en forme.The object of the present invention is, by requesting in a certain way the dermo-optic sensitivity of the whole body or a part thereof, to arrive at entirely satisfactory results, in the areas of relaxation and of fitness.
On peut également envisager selon la présente invention des applications dans les domaines agricole et horticole pour la stimulation de la croissance et le dé¬ veloppement rapide, équilibré et important des plantes et végétaux décoratifs ou utilitaires ainsi que des applications dans le domaine de l'élevage des animaux et de la production fermière : lait, oeufs, ...It is also possible to envisage, according to the present invention, applications in the agricultural and horticultural fields for stimulating growth and the rapid, balanced and significant development of decorative or utility plants and plants as well as applications in the field of animal husbandry. animals and farm production: milk, eggs, ...
L'invention se rapporte à un procédé d'exposi¬ tion du corps d'un être vivant à la lumière, caractérisé en ce que l'on illumine le corps par une ou plusieurs séquences formées chacune d'une série d'éclairements monochromes successifs de durée déterminée, délivrés par des sources individuelles de rayonnements lumineux mono¬ chromes, chaque succession décrivant au moins une partie du spectre lumineux visible dans un seul sens.The invention relates to a method of exposing the body of a living being to light, characterized in that the body is illuminated by one or more sequences each formed from a series of successive monochrome illuminations of fixed duration, delivered by individual sources of mono¬ chrome light radiation, each succession describing at least part of the light spectrum visible in one direction.
Les caractéristiques techniques et d'autres avantages de l'invention sont consignés dans la descrip¬ tion qui suit, effectuée à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur un mode d'exécution en référence aux dessins accom- pagnants dans lesquels :The technical characteristics and other advantages of the invention are set out in the following description, carried out by way of nonlimiting example on an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective simplifiée du mode de réalisation de 1 ' appareil à une unité d ' illumination,- Figure 1 is a simplified perspective view of the embodiment of one unit apparatus of illumination,
- la figure 2 est une vue de profil arrière de la réali¬ sation à une unité d'illumination montrant la disposi¬ tion des tubes par rapport au sujet, - les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues identiques à celles ci-dessus représentant une variante à deux unités d'illumination l'une au-dessus du sujet et l'autre en- dessous du sujet.- Figure 2 is a rear profile view of the realization to an illumination unit showing the arrangement of the tubes with respect to the subject, - Figures 3 and 4 are views identical to those above representing a variant with two illumination units, one above the subject and the other below the subject.
On utilisera ci-après les termes "corps d'un être vivant" de façon à généraliser convenablement les multiples applications du procédé selon l'invention.The terms "body of a living being" will be used below so as to suitably generalize the multiple applications of the method according to the invention.
Celles-ci concernent également le corps de toute unité vivante animale ou végétale.These also concern the body of any living animal or plant unit.
Le concept général inventif consiste à procéder à l'illumination du corps d'un être vivant ou d'une par¬ tie de celui-ci par une ou plusieurs séquence(s) for- mée(s) par une série d'éclairements successifs interve¬ nant les uns après les autres par plusieurs rayonnements lumineux monochromes convenablement choisis selon un échantillon de couleurs pendant des durées d'eclairement de valeurs déterminées et variables selon le type d'application visée, chaque succession décrivant au moins une partie du spectre lumineux visible dans un seul sens. On choisit des rayonnements lumineux convenable¬ ment différenciés et répartis sur tout le spectre lumi¬ neux visible, pour le décrire dans un sens précis du violet vers le rouge selon une ou plusieurs série(s) de succession(s) d'un nombre prédéterminé de rayonnements lumineux selon des durées d'illuminations différentes ou égales.The general inventive concept consists in illuminating the body of a living being or a part of it by one or more sequence (s) formed by a series of successive illuminations. intervening one after the other by several monochrome light rays suitably chosen according to a sample of colors for periods of illumination of determined and variable values according to the type of application intended, each succession describing at least part of the visible light spectrum in one direction. We choose light rays suitably differentiated and distributed over the entire visible light spectrum, to describe it in a precise direction from purple to red according to one or more series (s) of succession (s) of a predetermined number of light radiation according to different or equal illumination durations.
Comme indiqué, le choix des bandes spectrales permet de les différencier les unes des autres dans le sens d'une rupture chromatique visible et sensible. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à un procédé d'exposition du corps d'un être vivant ou d'une partie de celui-ci à plusieurs rayonnements lumineux monochromes appliqués selon des séquences d'une série de plusieurs éclairements monochromes successifs pendant des durées déterminées, diff rentes les unes des autres. Les différents rayonnements monochromes se sui- vent en décrivant tout le spectre lumineux d'une extré¬ mité à l'autre ou une partie seulement de celui-ci.As indicated, the choice of the spectral bands makes it possible to differentiate them from one another in the direction of a visible and sensitive chromatic break. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of exposing the body of a living being or a part of it to several radiations monochrome light applied according to sequences of a series of several successive monochrome illuminations for determined durations, different from each other. The different monochrome radiations follow by describing the whole light spectrum from one end to the other or only part of it.
Le spectre lumineux est décrit totalement ou partiellement dans un seul sens à la fois, c'est-à-dire dans un seul sens à chaque séquence. Les sources lumineuses utilisées sont monochro¬ mes et émettent selon des bandes spectrales bien défi¬ nies dont les centres peuvent être précisés en termes de longueur d'onde à environ 10 nanomètres près.The light spectrum is described totally or partially in one direction at a time, that is to say in one direction at each sequence. The light sources used are monochrome and emit according to well defined spectral bands whose centers can be specified in terms of wavelength to about 10 nanometers.
Elles sont mises en service individuellement les unes après les autres selon des durées différentes, dans un sens ou dans l'autre du spectre lumineux.They are put into service individually one after the other according to different durations, in one direction or the other of the light spectrum.
Selon l'exemple choisi, le spectre lumineux est décrit toujours dans le même sens, du violet vers le rouge, en sélectionnant un nombre limité de rayonnements lumineux monochromes différenciés et répartis sur tout le spectre.According to the example chosen, the light spectrum is always described in the same direction, from purple to red, by selecting a limited number of differentiated monochrome light rays distributed over the entire spectrum.
Il est important de remarquer que la lumière émise ne doit s'accompagner d'aucun effet calorifique sensible, afin de ne pas perturber la sensibilité dermo-optique en excitant simultanément les capteurs thermo-sensibles de la peau.It is important to note that the light emitted must not be accompanied by any sensitive calorific effect, in order not to disturb the dermo-optical sensitivity by simultaneously exciting the thermo-sensitive sensors of the skin.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on peut citer les six rayonnements lumineux monochromes compris dans les bandes spectrales correspondant aux couleurs suivan- tes : violet, bleu, vert, jaune, orange, rouge.By way of nonlimiting example, mention may be made of the six monochrome light rays included in the spectral bands corresponding to the following colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
Leur nombre et leur choix ont permis de vérifier l'efficacité du procédé selon l'invention.Their number and their choice made it possible to verify the effectiveness of the process according to the invention.
Les nombreux essais en cours permettent de con¬ clure à sa totale innocuité, fiabilité et reproductibi- lité. Par ailleurs, sa mise en oeuvre ne présente stric¬ tement aucun danger ni pour l'opérateur, ni pour l'uti¬ lisateur. Les exemples ci-après permettent d'illustrer de façon pratique le descriptif général ci-dessus.The numerous trials in progress make it possible to conclude that it is completely harmless, reliable and reproducible. Furthermore, its implementation presents absolutely no danger either to the operator or to the user. The examples below illustrate the general description above in a practical way.
Les tableaux ci-après portent sur des exemples de durées d'illumination en eclairement ambiant de type diurne puis dans l'obscurité partielle ou totale, dans le cadre des trois programmes de base indiqués en titre avant les tableaux. Préférentiellement, on appliquera au sujet le premier programme puis le troisième programme, ou alors le second programme puis le troisième program- me, ou encore deux fois à la suite le troisième program¬ me.The tables below relate to examples of durations of illumination in daytime ambient lighting then in partial or total darkness, within the framework of the three basic programs indicated in title before the tables. Preferably, the first program then the third program will be applied to the subject, or the second program then the third program, or again twice the third program.
Chaque programme se décompose en deux séquences d'une série d'illuminations successives automatiques, séquences identiques ou différentes, dans lesquelles les tubes de couleur s'allument les uns après les autres pendant les durées variables indiquées, selon une suite continue d'éclairements ou d'illuminations, toujours dans le même sens de parcours du spectre lumineux visi¬ ble. Les deux séquences sont séparées par une durée intermédiaire d'extinction totale de durée brève.Each program is broken down into two sequences of a series of successive automatic illuminations, identical or different sequences, in which the colored tubes light up one after the other during the variable durations indicated, according to a continuous series of illuminations or illuminations, always in the same direction of travel of the visible light spectrum. The two sequences are separated by an intermediate duration of total extinction of short duration.
Ces programmes sont réalisés comme indiqué à ti¬ tre d'exemple sur les figures à partir de six tubes de couleurs. Il est bien entendu que le nombre de tubes et le nombre de couleurs choisies peut varier.These programs are carried out as shown in the example in the figures from six colored tubes. It is understood that the number of tubes and the number of colors chosen may vary.
Le nombre de tubes peut être doublé dans le cas d'une illumination supplémentaire par le dessous.The number of tubes can be doubled in the case of additional illumination from below.
On remarquera les différences sensibles de du¬ rées entre 1'eclairement ambiant type diurne et l'éclai- rement type nocturne. Elles résultent de l'inversion des effets des couleurs entre le jour et la nuit.It will be noted that there are substantial differences in the duration between the daytime type ambient lighting and the nighttime type lighting. They result from the inversion of the effects of colors between day and night.
Par ailleurs, la valeur de la durée centrale, à savoir dans l'exemple choisi, la couleur verte, est tou¬ jours la plus forte pour un eclairement de type diurne et toujours la plus faible dans le cas d'un eclairement réduit de type nocturne. Par contre, les temps d'exposi¬ tion aux couleurs des extrémités du spectre visible, c'est-à-dire au violet et au rouge sont les plus longs en clairement de type nocturne et sont les plus brefs en eclairement de type diurne.Furthermore, the value of the central duration, namely in the example chosen, the color green, is always the highest for a daytime illumination and always the lowest in the case of a reduced type illumination. nocturnal. On the other hand, the times of exposure to the colors of the ends of the visible spectrum, that is to say, purple and red are the longest in clearly nocturnal type and are the shortest in daytime illumination.
Les tableaux ci-après illustrent en eclairement ambiant normal de type diurne puis réduit de type noc¬ turne plusieurs exemples de deux séries d'illuminations successives décrivant totalement le spectre lumineux vi¬ sible.The tables below illustrate in normal ambient illumination of the diurnal type then reduced of the noc¬ turne type several examples of two successive series of illuminations fully describing the visible light spectrum.
Les durées mentionnées le sont à titre indica¬ tif. Elles ne doivent en aucune façon être considérées comme des valeurs précises. Il s'agit plutôt d'un dosage entre les différentes durées d'illumination.The durations mentioned are for information only. They should in no way be considered as precise values. Rather, it is a balance between the different lighting times.

Conformément à un premier mode de réalisation, l'appareil destiné à mettre en oeuvre le procédé ci-dessus se compose d'au moins une unité supérieure d'illumination 1 comportant plusieurs sources lumineuses et d'un plan de couche 2, par exemple une couchette. L'unité supérieure d'illumination 1 se présente sous la forme d'un panneau supérieur orientable 3 monté basculant sur un piètement 4.According to a first embodiment, the apparatus intended to implement the above method consists of at least one upper illumination unit 1 comprising several light sources and a layer plane 2, for example a berth. The upper illumination unit 1 is in the form of an adjustable upper panel 3 mounted to tilt on a base 4.
Le panneau 3 est orientable entre la position horizontale et la position verticale grâce à des vérins à azote pour faciliter l'installation du sujet sous l'appareil ainsi que sa sortie de l'appareil.The panel 3 is orientable between the horizontal position and the vertical position by means of nitrogen jacks to facilitate the installation of the subject under the apparatus as well as its exit from the apparatus.
Le panneau 3 porte des tubes 5 émetteurs de lu¬ mière froide. Ceux-ci peuvent, par exemple, être au nombre de six référencés 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, se rappor- tant aux six couleurs suivantes : violet, bleu, vert, jaune, orange, rouge, l'ordre desdits six tubes étant indifférent. Par ailleurs, les tubes 5 peuvent être dis¬ posés de façon équidistante ou non équidistante par rapport à la surface corporelle du sujet. On pourra éga- lement prévoir douze tubes 5 se rapportant toujours aux six mêmes couleurs, chaque même couleur se retrouvant sur deux tubes.The panel 3 carries tubes 5 emitters of cold light. These can, for example, be six in number referenced 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, relating to the following six colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, order said six tubes being indifferent. Furthermore, the tubes 5 can be arranged in an equidistant or non-equidistant manner relative to the body surface of the subject. We can also provide twelve tubes 5 always referring to the same six colors, each same color being found on two tubes.
La couchette 2 comporte un coussin 13 sur lequel le sujet 12 repose la tête et un châssis 14 à pieds tels que 15 supportant le plan de couche 2. Selon une variante représentée sur les figures 3 et 4, l'appareil se compose d'un panneau éclairant supé¬ rieur 16 identique à ou voisin du panneau 3. La couchet¬ te inférieure est constituée par un lit de type solaire 17 formé d'un plan de couche transparent 18, d'un loge- ment 19 situé en-dessous abritant des tubes 5 de rayon¬ nement monochrome par exemple six tubes, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 identiques à ceux du panneau supérieur. La cou¬ chette est supportée par exemple par un châssis plein 26 porté par deux piètements longitudinaux tels que 27 et 28. Dans le cas d'un panneau supérieur 3 comportant dou¬ ze tubes, la couchette inférieure comprendra également douze tubes identiques à ceux du panneau supérieur.The berth 2 comprises a cushion 13 on which the subject 12 rests the head and a frame 14 with feet such as 15 supporting the layer plane 2. According to a variant represented in FIGS. 3 and 4, the apparatus consists of a upper lighting panel 16 identical to or adjacent to panel 3. The lower couchet¬ consists of a solar-type bed 17 formed by a transparent layer plane 18, of a housing 19 located below housing tubes 5 of monochrome radius, for example six tubes, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 identical to those of the upper panel. The cou¬ chette is supported for example by a solid frame 26 carried by two longitudinal legs such as 27 and 28. In the case of an upper panel 3 comprising dou¬ ze tubes, the lower berth will also include twelve tubes identical to those of top panel.
Le panneau supérieur 16 et le lit solaire 17 sont reliés entre eux par un montant 29. Conformément à un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention non représenté, le plan de couche 2 est rem¬ placé par un siège, le sujet étant alors non pas couché, mais assis face au panneau supérieur orientable 3, par ailleurs de dimension plus petite que celles relatives à l'appareil selon le premier mode de réalisation.The upper panel 16 and the solar bed 17 are connected together by an upright 29. According to another embodiment of the invention not shown, the layer 2 plane is replaced by a seat, the subject then being not not lying down, but seated facing the orientable upper panel 3, moreover of smaller dimension than those relating to the device according to the first embodiment.
Les sources lumineuses sont commandées indivi- duellement en séquences d'allumage et d'extinction par un automate sequenceur programmable permettant de modu¬ ler les temps d'exposition des sources lumineuses selon un programme diurne et un programme nocturne.The light sources are controlled individually in switching on and off sequences by a programmable sequencer automaton making it possible to modulate the exposure times of the light sources according to a day and night program.
Les sources lumineuses seront choisies de préfé¬ rence dans les tubes éclairants fluorescents à décharge type "lumière du jour" à très bon indice de rendu des couleurs, c'est à dire qui correspond à la capacité de restitution des différentes couleurs du spectre visible par la source lumineuse. On pourra par exemple choisir des tubes connus sous la marque Biolux et fabriqués par la société Osram.The light sources will preferably be chosen from fluorescent lighting tubes of the "daylight" type discharge with very good color rendering index, that is to say which corresponds to the capacity for rendering the different colors of the spectrum visible by the light source. We can for example choose tubes known under the brand Biolux and manufactured by the company Osram.
Il s'agit de tubes dont l'émission de lumière n'engendre pratiquement aucune dissipation thermique.These are tubes whose emission of light generates practically no heat dissipation.
Par ailleurs, ces tubes 5 comportent un circuit d'alimentation permettant d'éviter le clignotement à 1 ' allumage.Furthermore, these tubes 5 include a supply circuit making it possible to avoid flashing on ignition.
Selon une première variante, ces tubes 5 présen¬ tent un préchauffage, c'est à dire qu'ils sont maintenus à l'état non éclairants sous une tension minimale d'amorçage ou dans un état de semi-conduction permettant le passage à l'illumination sans régime transitoire d'intermittence caractérisé par un clignotement.According to a first variant, these tubes 5 present a preheating, that is to say that they are maintained in the non-illuminating state under a minimum ignition voltage or in a state of semi-conduction allowing the passage to l '' illumination without transient intermittent regime characterized by flashing.
Selon une autre variante, chaque tube 5 est pourvu d'un dispositif électronique d'allumage et d'ex- tinction des tubes, ce dispositif étant relié au sequen¬ ceur, qui le commande. Ainsi, le clignotement des tubes peut être évité. Un tel dispositif électronique peut, par exemple, être celui fabriqué par la société Osram sous la marque Quicktronic. Les tubes 5 sont pourvus chacun d'un filtre de couleur, par exemple sous la forme d'une gaine ou d'une enveloppe ou d'une feuille de gélatine les entourant complètement et sur toute leur longueur.According to another variant, each tube 5 is provided with an electronic device for lighting and extinguishing the tubes, this device being connected to the sequencer, which controls it. Thus, the flashing of the tubes can be avoided. Such an electronic device can, for example, be that manufactured by the company Osram under the brand Quicktronic. The tubes 5 are each provided with a color filter, for example in the form of a sheath or an envelope or a sheet of gelatin surrounding them completely and over their entire length.
Selon que l'on est en ambiance lumineuse type diurne ou nocturne, on modifie les durées d'illumination respectives des couleurs, ce qui inverse la polarité des effets de ces mêmes couleurs.Depending on whether one is in a daytime or nighttime type of light environment, the respective illumination times of the colors are modified, which reverses the polarity of the effects of these same colors.
Ainsi, l'automate sequenceur comportera un pro¬ gramme jour et un programme nuit. Enfin, le panneau 3 peut également porter deux lampes de veille. Ces lampes s'actionnent lorsque l'appareil est mis sous tension, s'éteignent lors de la mise en route du programme et se rallument lors de la fin du programme. Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sor¬ tir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention. Thus, the automatic sequencer will include a day program and a night program. Finally, the panel 3 can also carry two standby lamps. These lamps are activated when the appliance is switched on, go out when the program is started and come back on when the program ends. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
