  • Publication number: 20150061504
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for operating a display and/or an illumination source based upon the direction of a user's gaze and/or a desired illumination level in a monitored area. One or more elements may be controlled with sensor input and application lighting preferences. For example, when a user receives a video call, light may be activated to illuminate their face. When the user is looking at the display, the display will be at the brightness necessary for the lighting conditions. When the user looks away from the screen, the screen may dim further and the lighting elements for the desk can brighten. Similarly, embodiments may adjust the lighting in a monitored location based upon lighting levels identified in other areas.

  • Patent number: 8969116
    Abstract: A selective organic emissive material deposition technique is disclosed. A charged organic emissive material may be mixed with a carrier gas and ejected towards a charged intended area of a substrate. The charge for the emissive material may be such that the organic emissive material is attracted to the charged intended area of the substrate and, accordingly, deposited selectively over the charged intended area of the substrate. Additionally, surrounding unintended areas of the substrate may be charged such that the charged organic emissive material is repelled by the unintended areas.

  • Publication number: 20140336954
    Abstract: The durability performance of a structure is virtually predicted, enabling the optimization of the durability performance. In a first act, the structure is modeled by a series of calculation points. Then, for each point, the stresses and strains brought by load cycles and defining hysteresis branches are determined. Then, an accumulated damage due to the load cycles is predicted and stored. For the prediction, first, using a hysteresis operator, a change in the stress along a portion of a hysteresis branch is calculated as a function of a change in the load in time, and, second, using the change in the stress and the stored accumulated damage, a change in the damage is calculated. Hence, also a change in the properties, including the stiffness, of the structure is calculated. Then, a further change in the stresses and strains is calculated on the basis of the change in these properties to determine a new adapted hysteresis branch.
