  • Patent number: 11012803
    Abstract: The current invention related to methods and systems for panning audio objects on multichannel loudspeaker setups. The invention relates to a method of processing an audio object along an axis, said audio object comprising an audio object abscissa and an audio object spread, for spatialized restitution thereof over a plurality of sound transducers, N in number, aligned along said axis; each of said sound transducers comprising a transducer abscissa; N being at least equal to two; said method comprising a plurality of steps.

  • Publication number: 20100231894
    Abstract: A device for observation, by reflection, of the structural details of an object (2) that exhibits a behaviour that is at least partially specular, located in an exposure area, which includes: at least one radiation source with an emission surface (6) possessing at least two distinct zones (26, 27) emitting streams of radiation, where at least one of the characteristics differs from one zone to the next; an optical projection system that is located in line with the radiation source in relation to the exposure zone, in the path of the radiation; an optical exposure system (18) designed to optically link the entry aperture (14) of the optical projection system and the emission surface (6); a projection surface (10) that is linked optically with the object in the exposure zone, and whose received radiation depends on the deflection on the object (2).

  • Publication number: 20090240279
    Abstract: This orthosis comprises a compressive leg portion extending upwards from the ankle. The structure of the row of stitches ensures a uniform distribution of the resilient return forces at the circumference of the orthosis around an outline corresponding to a horizontal section of the limb. The stitch structure and the dimensioning of the leg portion are selected in such a manner as to apply on a region (R) extending between the ankle and the knee, a therapeutic pressure once the orthosis has been put on the limb. The mean pressure Pc exerted on the center third (RC) of said compression region is greater both than the mean pressure Pb exerted on the distal third (RD) and than the mean pressure Pd exerted on the proximal third (RP) of said region, Pc, Pb, and Pd being the pressures exerted at the respective heights of points c, b, and d of the Hohenstein model.
