  • Patent number: 7554511
    Abstract: A device for creating a milieu for a creature in a real environment to the creature, the milieu comprising both at least one part of the real environment and at least one fictitious phenomenon, the properties of the milieu experienced by the creature depending on its position and/or orientation relative to the real environment. The device comprises a member for generating stimuli, the member including a transducer arranged to determine its position and/or orientation relative to the real environment by receiving incident optical signals and recording the relative incident directions of the received signals in relation to the transducer, and an element by which the creature and the transducer are connected for generating the stimuli by information about the position and/or orientation of the transducer and about the real environment, and a unit for transferring the generated stimuli to the creature.

  • Patent number: 7430489
    Abstract: A device (4) for producing information concerning one or more properties of an environment (1), comprising a sensor (5) movable in relation to the environment, for obtaining information from the environment by recording or measuring one or more properties of the environment in one or more positions and/or directions, and a transducer (6) mechanically connected to the sensor (5) so that the relative positions and orientations of the sensor and the transducer are fixable. The transducer (6) is arranged to determine its orientation and position with respect to at least four degrees of freedom relative to the environment by receiving incident signals from signal sources (7) in the environment and thereby produce corresponding information concerning the orientation and the position of the sensor, for at least one said recording or measuring accomplished by the sensor (5).

  • Patent number: 7236880
    Abstract: A method for determining the position and/or orientation of a creature (3) relative to an environment by connecting the creature (3) to a locating member (4) including a transducer (5) so that the relative positions and/or orientations of the creature (3) and the transducer (5) are arranged to be within a limited interval. The transducer determines its position and/or orientation relative to the environment by receiving incident signals from the signal sources (9) in the environment, and the position and/or orientation of the creature (3) is determined by the position and/or orientation determined for the transducer (5).

  • Patent number: 4957901
    Abstract: A method of making an object of superconductive material in the form of an oxide by isostatic pressing of a body preformed from a powder material with an oxygen-containing pressure medium at a temperature required for sintering of the preformed body, the powder material is an oxide of the metals contained in the superconductive material. Before the isostatic pressing is carried out, the preformed body is surrounded by a gas-tight casing with the ability to transport oxygen.
