  • Patent number: 10782778
    Abstract: A gaze initiated interaction technique for facilitating interaction between wearers of head-mountable devices. Methods are shown which allow users to interact with each other following an event of interlocking gaze. Methods are also shown which allows the operator of a personal point-of-interest beacon to control and limit interaction from the public thus ensuring a greater degree of privacy. Methods are also introduced which allow a mode of interaction to be determined by a remote service after mutual authorization of each interacting user. This disclosure also introduces a system of a head-mountable device which comprises a directional beacon transceiver system using beams in the infrared light spectrum enabling the detection of a gaze interlock event.

  • Patent number: 10502682
    Abstract: A device (1) for determining the concentration of a gas component is configured with a radiation source (30) for emitting (31) a light radiation or heat radiation in an infrared wavelength range. A detector array (40) has at least two detector elements (50, 60), configured to detect the radiation generated by the radiation source (30), in an angular arrangement (52, 62) and with filter elements (51, 61). At least one of the two detector elements (50, 60) is oriented in an angular arrangement (52, 62) in relation to a vertical axis (32), so that a range of overlap (65) is obtained due to the angular arrangements (52, 62). The range of overlap (65) causes attenuations in the propagation of light, which attenuations may be due, for example, to gas molecules or moisture (400), affect both detector elements (50, 60) and are thus compensated concerning the concentration determination.

  • Publication number: 20190323960
    Abstract: An FI having an in-situ particle detector and a method for particle detection therein are provided. In one aspect, the FI includes a fan, a substrate support, a particle detector, and an exhaust outlet. The fan, substrate support, and particle detector are arranged such that, in operation, the fan directs air towards the exhaust outlet and over a substrate on the substrate support to create laminar flow. The particle detector, positioned downstream from the substrate support and upstream from the exhaust outlet, analyzes the air and detects particle concentration before the particles are exhausted. The collected particle detection data may be combined with data from other sensors in the FI and used to identify the source of particle contamination. The particle detector may also be incorporated into other system components, including but not limited to, a load-lock or buffer chamber to detect particle concentration therein.

  • Patent number: 10298745
    Abstract: Interaction with a handheld device is modified based upon the speed at which the handheld device is traveling, for example while being held in a passenger vehicle. If the handheld device appears to be moving faster than a pre-established threshold, a lockout flag indicates that interaction with the user must be modified. Then, the lockout flag is cleared only when the handheld device is held off at an angle and the user focuses gaze upon the display for a minimum amount of time. Once the lockout flag is cleared, interaction with the user returns to a normal state.
