Publication number: 20240045503Abstract: A wearable computing device with bio-signal sensors and a feedback module provides an interactive mediated reality (“VR”) environment for a user. The bio-signal sensors receive bio-signal data (for example, brainwaves) from the user and include bio-signal sensors embedded in a display isolator, having a deformable surface, and having an electrode extendable to contact the user's skin. The wearable computing device further includes a processor to: present content in the VR environment via the feedback module; receive bio-signal data of the user from the bio-signal sensor; process the bio-signal data to determine user states of the user, including brain states, using a user profile; modify a parameter of the content in the VR environment in response to the user states of the user. The user receives feedback indicating the modification of the content via the feedback module.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Christopher Allen AIMONE, Samuel Thomas MACKENZIE, Graeme Daniel MOFFAT, Hubert JACOB BANVILLE, Nicole Hélène PROULX

Publication number: 20050177652Abstract: A system for hard disk drives that prevents the host from receiving an unrecoverable error whilst reading an erroneous track or sector resulting from a sudden power failure, i.e. from an unexpected power removal. The system has to behave in real-time, therefore a known lengthy error recovery procedure is not acceptable. According to the invention the solution saves the status information, and possibly the data, of the hard disk drive system in a non-volatile memory. Thus the status information, and possibly data, is still available when the system is restarted. The non-volatile memory might be a magnetic (MRAM), a battery-backed static (SRAM) or a Ferro-electric random access memory (FeRAM). The invention is especially used for audio/video hard disk drive systems such as personal video recorders (PVR) or set-top boxes with storage capabilities. The embodiment which has the data stored in a non-volatile memory improves the data reliability of the system and can thus also be used for PC applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2003Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: Stephen Cumpson, Filip Dominique Ponsaerts, Lambert Hubert Jacobs

Patent number: 6486102Abstract: An emulsion used to lubricate the surface of a steel sheet, comprising an additive corresponding to one of the following formulae: (R1-2—O—)1-2—PSS—(CH2)n—COO—(CH2)m—CH3, (R1-2—O—)1,2—PSS—CH2-&phgr;-O—H, (R1,2—O—)1,2—PSS—CH2-&phgr;-O—(CH2)n, —COO—(CH2)m, —CH3, where PSS designates a dithiophosphate function. The naked sheets of steel that are treated with said emulsion have very good tribological properties even when the density of the emulsion thus applied is less than or equal to 1 g/m2 when dry. The invention enables dry-looking oiled sheets to be obtained, whereby no re-oiling is required before forming even by die stamping.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: UnisorInventors: Hervé Derule, Hubert Jacobs, Amadou Dicko, Peggy Guinet

Patent number: 6013059Abstract: Medical apparatus 10 includes a barrel 12 which defines a chamber 14 therein. A sleeve 16 is slidably arranged on the barrel 12 between a first, retracted position and a second, extended position in which a needle of a needle assembly 48 is covered. A coil spring 20 is interposed between the barrel 12 and the sleeve 16 for urging the sleeve 16 to its second position. A locking means 18 locks the spring both in its first position and in its second position.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1998Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Inventor: Louis Hubert Jacobs
