Ryad Benjamin Benosman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8774938
    Abstract: The invention relates to an implant which includes, in order to electrically stimulate a nerve structure, in particular the retina, an electrically insulating substrate (1), a array of recesses (2) formed in an upper surface of the substrate, stimulation electrodes (3) arranged at the bottom of the recesses, and an electrically conductive layer forming a ground plane (4) at the upper portion of the recesses. The sizes of the recesses and of the electrodes of the implant are such that the spatial selectivity of the stimulation current applied to the nerve structure is maximized.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110043691
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing at least two video streams originating from at least two cameras having a common visual field. The method includes acquiring the video streams and recording of the images composing each video stream on a video recording medium; rectifying the images of the video streams along epipolar lines; extracting an epipolar line from each rectified image of each video stream; composing an image of a temporal epipolar line for each video stream; computing a temporal shift value ? between the video streams by matching the images of a temporal epipolar line of each video stream for each epipolar line of the video streams; computing a temporal desynchronization value Dt between the video streams by taking account of the temporal shift values 6 computed for each epipolar line of the video streams; synchronizing the video streams by taking into account the computed temporal desynchronization value Dt.
