  • Patent number: 9827489
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a gaming system projecting volumetric images onto a physical scene that includes a background and props positioned in front of the background. A gaming engine causes a projector to project an image onto the physical scene. A pointer device receives triggering commands from an operator. A camera captures an image of a portion of the physical scene being targeted by the pointer device. The captured portion includes lighting points emitted by the physical scene, the captured lighting points forming a specific pattern. A targeting system uses the specific pattern as a reference to identify a three-dimensional position of a target located within the captured portion and causes the gaming engine to modify a visible feature of the target when a when a triggering command is received at the pointer device. A method of projecting volumetric images onto the physical scene is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170031052
    Abstract: An electromagnetic system for exploring the seabed in a marine environment includes a current injection module with two electrodes spaced apart from one another, said injection electrodes being capable of injecting a current at a predetermined voltage into the marine environment close to the seabed, said injection electrodes having a contact surface with the marine environment. The system includes a data acquisition module with at least two measuring sensors for measuring electrical or magnetic data at least two points of the marine environment close to the seabed, and a power supply module for supplying power to the current injection module. Each electrode includes one or more separate conductive elements that are electrically connected to each other and arranged in such a way as to form a conductive network or a multilayer conductive assembly having a large contact surface with the marine environment.

  • Patent number: 9172491
    Abstract: A number of users interface with a network via a multiplex module, on a communication path established between the multiplex module and a point of presence. Some users may be served by one or more first channels of the communication path while one or more remaining users may be served by one or more additional channels of the communication path. Users having a basic service level agreement may be served by the first channels while users having an extended service level agreement may be served by the one or more additional channels. Allocation of users to distinct channel types based on their service level agreements may apply at a primary point of presence or may apply at a redundant point of presence.

  • Patent number: 8617353
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for deinking printed waste paper comprising the steps of: a) converting the printed waste paper to an aqueous pulp slurry in a pulper, where ink is detached from paper pulp; b) subjecting the pulp slurry to flotation in order to remove hydrophobic contaminants including ink from the pulp slurry, said flotation being carried out in the presence of a deinking chemical additive comprising modified silica obtained by treating hydrophilic silica particles with a hydrophobic organic liquid or modified metal silicate obtained by treating hydrophilic metal silicate particles with a hydrophobic organic liquid or a mixture of such modified silica and modified metal silicate. The present invention increases the yield of the flotation step without affecting the brightness of the flotation accept.
