Abstract: The invention includes a novel oscillating display device, system, and assembly configured to be mounted to an external surface and allow dynamic oscillation movement of a personalized display in response to an external force, such as air flow generated by the movement of a vehicle, while maintaining the display in an approximately horizontal position relative to an external viewer. The oscillating display of the invention may further include one or more marketing messages or advertisements to be displayed to a viewer.

Abstract: An electronic flight assistant device has a first processor coupled to a firmware memory containing machine readable instructions executable by the processor (Firmware) and a random access (RAM) memory; an electronic camera coupled to the processor; a visible-wavelength laser adapted to be gated and scanned by the processor; a switchable cockpit light; at least one digital radio coupled to the processor; and a housing containing the processor, electronic camera, laser, digital radio, and cockpit light; the firmware configured to perform optical reading of cockpit instruments, to determine error conditions, and to scan the laser to provide indications to a pilot of error conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a manual insertion aid for inserting a cannula unit into a cannula holder. The manual insertion aid comprises a handle and two jaws projecting from the handle and forming a receiving opening that is configured for engaging with a cannula unit. In order to provide a simple and lightweight insertion aid, the minimum clearance between the two jaws is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and smaller than or equal to 7 mm, and wherein the maximum projecting length of each of the two jaws from the handle is greater than or equal to 4 mm and smaller than or equal to 18 mm.

Abstract: A skin-mountable medical device having a mounting plate having a bottom side attachable to the skin of a user and a medical module, in particular, an analyte sensing device or a drug administration pump. A snap connector releasably attaches the medical module on the upper side of the mounting plate. The snap connector has a release flap that can be actuated by the user to detach the medical module, and the release flap projects outwardly from the mounting plate and at its bottom side maintains a clearance to avoid an interfering skin contact in use.

Abstract: A control augmentation system for high aspect ratio aircraft has aileron/flaperon and throttle position sensors; spoiler and flap controls; a mode switch with manual, and landing modes; and a controller driving left and right spoiler and flap servos, the controller including at least one processor with memory containing firmware configured to: when the mode switch is in manual mode, drive both spoiler servos to a symmetrical position according to the spoiler control; when the mode switch is in landing mode, drive the left spoiler to a position dependent on aileron and throttle position, and the right spoiler to a position dependent on aileron and throttle position, the left and right spoiler positions differing whenever ailerons are not centered, and an average of spoiler positions is more fully deployed when the throttle position is at a low-power setting than when the throttle position is at a high-power setting.

Abstract: The method comprising attaching a 3D sensor (20) on a top part of the container (10) in a position (P) and with an orientation (O) such that its field of view (FOV) is oriented towards the content (11) stored in the container (10); acquiring, by the 3D sensor (20), a depth map (DM); and computing, by a computing unit, a 3D surface model by processing said acquired depth map (DM) and using said given position (P), orientation (O) and field of view (FOV), and a 3D level model by removing from the computed 3D surface model the points corresponding to the interior walls of the container (10), using a 3D function that searches the intersection or matching between the 3D surface model and the shape of the container (S), and filling in the missing points corresponding to the content (11) that falls out of the field of view (FOV) of the 3D sensor (20).
