Abstract: A head mountable arrangement assists a subject to acquire spatial information about a surrounding environment by receiving gaze data from an eyetracker and spatial data from a distance sensor respectively. The gaze data describe an estimated point of regard of the subject, and the spatial data describe a distance between a reference point and an object in the surrounding environment. A feedback signal is provided, which indicates a distance from the subject to said object in the surrounding environment. The feedback signal is generated based on the estimated point of regard and the spatial data, and may reflect the distance to a surface element of an object that intersects a straight line between an eye-base line of the subject and the estimated point of regard, which surface element is located closer to the eye-base line than any other surface element of the objects in the surrounding environment along said straight line.

Abstract: A method for controlling the transparency level of a transparent displaying device arranged to display one or more virtual objects, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a gaze point of a user; obtaining a position of at least one virtual object displayed by the displaying device; determining whether the attention of the user is directed to the virtual object based on the obtained gaze point; and if so, adjusting a transparency level of the displaying device. A system operative for controlling the transparency level in a displaying device, as well as a displaying device comprising such a system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is related to an eye tracking system for determining reference gaze data of a user in a scene exposing a pupil of the user.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for the prognosis and/or risk assessment and/or diagnosis of a major adverse cardio- or cerebrovascular event (MACCE) in a patient who underwent gastrointestinal surgery, the method comprising the steps of: i) providing a sample of a bodily fluid from said patient, ii) determining in said sample the level of a biomarker selected from the group consisting of copeptin, troponin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), iii) determining at least one additional parameter of said patient, iv) combining the biomarker level determined in step ii) and the additional parameter determined in step iii) into a combined assessment, and v) correlating the combined assessment to said at least one of prognosis, risk assessment and diagnosis of a MACCE in said patient. The invention further pertains to a kit for carrying out the method, a computer and a computer program product comprising computer-executable code being configured to carry out steps iv) and/or v) of the method of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the diagnosis, prognosis, risk assessment and/or risk stratification of an adverse event in the health of a postsurgical patient, comprising providing at least one sample of a patient, who has undergone, is undergoing or will undergo surgery, wherein the at least one sample has been isolated from the patient presurgically, perioperative or postsurgically, determining a level of at least one biomarker selected from the group consisting of proADM, PCT and pro ET-1 or fragment(s) thereof in said at least one sample, wherein said level of the at least one biomarker or fragment(s) thereof correlates with the likelihood of said adverse event. In some embodiments the method is used for predicting or diagnosing an elevated or decreased likelihood of a postsurgical infection or blood infection.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling vehicle speed in a vehicle equipped with cruise control while traveling downhill. The method involves driving a vehicle downhill with the cruise control set to a brake speed; detecting a current vehicle speed; applying the auxiliary brake to maintain the brake speed; detecting a request for a downshift from a current gear to a lower gear; and determining if a downshift is permissible at the current speed. If a downshift is not permissible, then a control unit automatically applies the service brakes to retard the vehicle speed; retarding the vehicle from a current speed to a lower speed at which a downshift to a lower gear is permissible; and performing a downshift to a lower gear when the second vehicle speed is reached. The cruise control is set to a second brake speed lower than the first brake speed.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling vehicle speed in a vehicle equipped with brake cruise control when the vehicle is travelling downhill are provided. The method involves driving a vehicle downhill with the brake set speed set to a first brake set speed; detecting a current vehicle speed; automatically applying a brake torque using at least an auxiliary brake to maintain the first brake set speed; and detecting a manual application of a vehicle service brake, in order to decrease vehicle speed. If a control unit detects that the driver is applying the service brake, then the control unit is automatically arranged to set the brake set speed to a second brake set speed that is lower than the first brake set speed; and to apply a brake torque using at least the auxiliary brake if a detected current vehicle speed exceeds the second brake set speed.
