  • Patent number: 11721233
    Abstract: A method is proposed to induce the sensation of movement in subjects in flight simulators and in cosmonauts, creating a cognitive simulation of movement through the Vestibular Electrical Stimulation. The system consists of a control unit, a function generator and a power amplifier. The device injects electric current over the mastoid process (galvanic vestibular stimulation), capable of activating the neurons of the vestibular system and inducing a movement sensation, in coordination with a flight simulation program or subject's movement in the simulator. The use of the device modifies eye movement control responses, electrically activating the vestibular-ocular, vestibulo-colic and vestibule-spinal reflexes. The main purpose of this device is to provide sensory input to enhance the experience in pilots during flight training or in microgravity.

  • Publication number: 20180259190
    Abstract: A cooktop, having at least one burner and at least one control. Each burner may be associated with a particular control. A burner sensor detects the presence of a pot on the burner. When a pot is detected, an illuminated path is activated between the burner and its associated control. A control sensor detects a user's proximity to the control. When a user is detected, the illuminated path is also activated. Alternatively, a lighting effect is used to highlight the associated burner and control. Alternatively, each burner is associated with a burner selector button or burner user selection interface, and a controller is used to adjust the parameters of a burner selected using the burner selector button. A communication link may be provided between the cooktop and a hood, and a display provided on the hood to indicate burner status, as well as other settings such as timer progress.

  • Publication number: 20080152854
    Abstract: A damping tape comprising: (a) a backing comprising a thermoplastic film having front and rear major surfaces; and (b) a sheet of resilient fibers having anchor portions bonded to the film at bonding locations spaced along the front surface of the backing, and arcuate portions projecting from the front surface of backing between the bonding locations, the lengths of some of the fibers in the sheet may be disposed in various different directions with respect to each other; and (c) a layer of adhesive covering significant portions of the rear surface of the backing. The tape may further comprise optional release liner over the adhesive layer. In some embodiments, the sheet of fibers may be covered with an overcoat layer.
