  • Method of assisting the placement of construction elements of a civil engineering work
    Patent number: 9163417
    Abstract: This method of assisting the placement of construction elements of a civil engineering work, comprises: the adjustment (108) of the orientation of each construction element as a function of a discrepancy between a measured orientation for this construction element and an orientation setpoint, the supplying of the construction elements each equipped with at least one orientation sensor, fixed without any degree of freedom to the construction element, able to measure the inclination of this construction element with respect to three non-coplanar axes, and in which the adjustment (108) of the orientation of each element is carried out as a function of the discrepancy between the orientation measured by the orientation sensor fixed to this construction element and the orientation setpoint.

  • Stand-alone device, system and method for navigating in a space having at least three dimensions
    Patent number: 8072417
    Abstract: A stand-alone device for navigating in a space having at least three dimensions comprises a housing capable of being manipulated by a user. The housing houses means for generating signals that represent the inclination of the housing according to its pitch axes, rolling axes and yaw axes, and houses at least one isometric device that generates a control signal of a bi-directional displacement according to at least one axis of said space. The invention is used, in particular, for navigating in a virtual space.
