  • Physical feedback in vehicles
    Patent number: 10674267
    Abstract: A method may include monitoring a sensor associated with a first location of an automobile seat, where the first location corresponds to a first transducer embedded within the automobile seat, and the automobile seat includes a second transducer at a second location within the automobile seat. The first and the second transducers may be configured to generate tactile feedback upon receiving an activating signal. The method may also include detecting an event triggering the activating signal to be sent to the first transducer, and based on a reading from the sensor indicating that an occupant of the automobile seat is not in contact with the first location, modifying the activating signal such that the first transducer primarily produces an audible sound rather than tactile feedback.

  • Thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle, comprising cascades partially integrated in the cowls
    Patent number: 10669971
    Abstract: A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle includes movable cowls which move backward relative to a front frame under the action of an actuation system, thereby making flaps tilt, via a control mechanism, so as to substantially close the annular cold air flow path, and by opening cascades disposed around this flow path and which receive the cold air flow and return it forward. When the thrust reverser is closed, the cascades are partially integrated in the cowls, and the thrust reverser includes an actuation system which makes the cascades move backward along a stroke which is shorter than the stroke of the cowl.

  • Optimized aerodynamic profile for an arm of a structural casing of a turbine, and structural casing having such an arm
    Patent number: 10669871
    Abstract: When cold and in the non-coated state, the aerodynamic profile is substantially identical to a nominal profile determined by the Cartesian coordinates X,Y, Zadim given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Zadim is the quotient D/H where D is the distance of the point under consideration from a first reference plane P0 situated at the base of the nominal profile, and H is the height of said profile measured from the first reference plane to a second reference plane P1. The measurements D and H are taken radially relative to the axis of the turbine, while the X coordinate is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.

  • Distributing shaders between client machines for precaching
    Patent number: 10668378
    Abstract: Client machines are configured to compile shaders during execution of a program (e.g., a video game) that renders graphics on a display. These client machines may upload information—including a hardware configuration of the client machine, an application identifier (ID) of the program, and a set of shader IDs for compiled shaders—to a remote computing system, which catalogues the shader IDs, selectively requests compiled shader code from one or more of the client machines, and selectively prepares the compiled shader code for redistribution. Thereafter, a requesting client machine with a matching hardware configuration may receive compiled shader code from the remote system for a particular program, and may precache the compiled shader code for use during program execution.

  • METHODS FOR MANAGING SHARING AND FOR SHARING MESSAGES, MESSAGING DEVICES OF DISTINCT TYPES IMPLEMENTING SAME
    Publication number: 20200169526
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing sharing of a message of a first type through a communication network. The method includes, following selection of a sharing command from an interface for reproducing the first message of the first type, integrating content of the first message of the first type into a second message of a second type to be transmitted through the communication network, the second type being distinct from the first type. Thus, a message of a first type can be shared by using a messaging of a distinct type, for example an email can be shared by SMS, MMS, instant messages, Tweet (registered trademark), etc.
