Abstract: The present invention relates to the creation of a method and system for the analysis of the operations of an organisation with regard to their achievement of organisation outcomes, by the generation of causal modelling systems and the implementation of the same in conjunction with a landscape model of the organisation. A visual generation system to allow user interaction with a display screen is also provided to allow the navigation of the properties of the organisation and outcomes within the organisation to be selected and analysed.

Abstract: Techniques for overmolding thermoplastics onto a spray primed polymer substrate. A thin layer of primer may be sprayed directly over a pre-formed polymer material. Then, a thermoplastic is injection molded directly over the primer layer. In one embodiment, a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabric is thermal compression molded into a NED device housing shell. Selected portions of the NED device housing shell may be mechanically abraded and then sprayed with a solvent-based polyolefin primer. Once the primer layer has cured, a thermoplastic material may then be overmolded directly over the primer layer—without any additional adhesive layer(s) between the primer layer and the thermoplastic material.

Abstract: A Near-Eye-Display (NED) device having a housing shell that is integrated with molded boss clusters for precision mounting of hardware components. The techniques disclosed herein include forming a housing shell directly over one or more pre-molded boss clusters that have been inserted into cavities of a housing shell mold core. For example, with the pre-molded boss clusters already inserted into the cavities, a selected housing shell material such as a thermosetting epoxy resin impregnated carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) fabric may be thermal compression molded over the housing shell mold core. Individual ones of the pre-molded boss clusters include one or more “three-dimensional (3D)” bosses for mounting various hardware components of the NED device. The bosses may protrude from an inner surface of the housing shell and may provide interior mounting features without affecting the appearance of the outer surface of the housing shell.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating an electrical winding in an encapsulant composition. The method includes: (i) providing an electrically insulated wire; (ii) applying the encapsulation composition to the electrically insulated wire to encapsulate the wire; and (iii) winding a further layer of wire around the encapsulated wire. The electrical encapsulant composition includes a silica containing inorganic-organic nano-hybrid matrix, and particles of refractory ceramic suspended in the inorganic-organic nano-hybrid matrix.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for generating and subsequently using a series of graphical perspectives of an organization. Each of the perspectives includes a series of defined elements which are identified as being part of the perspective. Each element is analyzed in each of the perspectives and those which are common to more than one perspective are identified as are those elements which are interconnected and hence refer to each other. A graphical display panel is generated for each perspective which identifies in a dynamic manner those elements which are so connected and said panel can be used a navigational tool in conjunction with a graphical user interface.
