  • Patent number: 10044996
    Abstract: A method for projecting information issued from a digital design model. Calibration is performed by acquiring characteristic data originating from a surface of interest and comparing the characteristic data with virtual data issued from the digital design model. A spatial position of a projecting device is determined. The projecting device comprises a video projector and at least two separate image-capturing devices. Depending on the spatial position, information issued from the digital design model is projected by the video projector onto the surface of interest.

  • Patent number: 9940716
    Abstract: A method for processing local information acquired by a virtual representation and a device having an inertial unit and an image sensor. At least one image of a real environment of the device is captured. The localization of the device in the virtual representation, corresponding to the localization of the device in the real environment, is obtained by correlating the portions of the captured image and portions of the virtual representation, The inertial unit determines the displacement of the device. The localization of the device in the virtual representation is modified as a function of the displacement so that the real position of the device corresponds, during the displacement, to the localization of the device in the virtual representation.

  • Publication number: 20150356208
    Abstract: A method for generating a digital mockup in three dimensions using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The digital mockup is integrated into a spatialization environment for the digital mockup allowing visualization of the digital mockup from various angles of view. The digital mockup is produced to obtain a semi-finished product. A plurality of pieces of production information is acquired. For each piece of production information, a spatial position linked to the production information is measured, and the production information is integrated into the spatialization environment on the digital mockup at a position in the digital mockup corresponding to the measured spatial position.

  • Patent number: 6342878
    Abstract: Input peripheral for a computer with automatic switching between 3D and 2D operating modes, and its interaction process with a display screen. A casing (10) containing a tracking type electromagnetic sensor (16) is fitted with a contactor (22) on one face (12) designed to be placed on a flat support. The contactor (22) makes the device automatically change from a 3D operating mode to a 2D operating mode when it is placed on a flat support, and vice versa when it is lifted off this support.

  • Patent number: 6136236
    Abstract: A manufacturing process of a large part of composite materials with a high fiber content (more than 58%) using the resin transfer moulding technique, wherein a fiber pellet (26) is placed in a mould (20) and strongly compressed, whilst the resin is injected at a constant reference flow rate value and while the instantaneous pressure at the mould inlet is lower than a reference pressure value. When this reference pressure value is reached, the injection flow rate is reduced to maintain the pressure at this level, and the compression of the pellet (26) is temporarily reduced. The injection flow rate is then altered to the constant reference flow rate value and the compression is increased, to start another cycle.
