  • Publication number: 20170115729
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device that is detachably coupled to a frame of a head-mounted device that can be mounted on a head of a user. The electronic device can consecutively perform tracking of the user's head using a sensor, when sensor data is abnormally received. Thereafter, if the sensor data is normally received from the head mounted device, the electronic device can consecutively perform the head tracking, enabling the user's action and the visual information to coincide with each other, thereby reducing inconvenience or misoperation which may occur in the case of the conventional head-mounted device.

  • Patent number: 6851300
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for measuring residual stress, methods of measuring residual stress data and residual stress using the apparatus, and a recording medium for storing software of the residual stress measuring method. The present invention is advantageous for evaluation of a mechanical material property and is non-destructive. Further, the present invention is widely applied to fields ranging from a microscopic area, such as a thin film or micro device, to a large-sized structure, and is not influenced by a microstructure by controlling the range of an applied load. Further, the measuring apparatus of the present invention is minimized in its volume to be easily attached to an actual structure. Further, in the present invention, various attaching devices are employed, thus enabling the apparatus to be attached to various materials regardless of the size and type of object materials to measure residual stress.
