Patents by Inventor Stefan Mathieu Alfons Vaes

Stefan Mathieu Alfons Vaes 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: 11123488
    Abstract: An injection device assembly including a housing, a syringe, a drive mechanism and one or more sensing systems are described. The drive mechanism advances the syringe from a storage position to an injection position, and a plunger advances the syringe piston from an initial position to a final position. The status sensing system may include one or more main PCB(s) disposed in an end portion of the injection device assembly's housing. The system may determine various parameters related to an operational status of the injection device, including the location of the devices components, an amount of medication remaining in the device, a temperature of the medication, and whether or not the device is properly contacting the users skin before injection. The system may communicate such determined parameters to an external device via a wireless communication link.

  • Publication number: 20100110855
    Abstract: Method for accurately determining the link position for appending new recordings on an optical disc, where address information extracted from the HF data of a previous recording is used in conjunction with position information derived from the pre-groove to determine the link position for the new recording. The pre-groove position information may be derived from the phase of the pre-groove wobble, and the HF data address may be flywheeled to provide a more robust system. The drive may store and update a record table with the begin and end addresses of contiguous previously recorded area, the stored information being used in conjunction with position information derived from the pre-groove to determine the link position for the new recording.

  • Patent number: 5777765
    Abstract: The optical delay unit (ODL) introduces a programmable delay of an optical signal on an optical signal path. The delay of the optical signal is realised by converting the incoming optical signal (IN) into an electrical signal, then delaying the electrical signal, using electronic devices in an electrical delay unit (ELDL), and finally converting the electrical signal into an optical signal. The electrical delay is controlled by an operator sending control data (A) via a control interface (CI) to the electrical delay unit (ELDL). A first use relates to the testing of the normal operation and/or performance of an optical network for different optical line lengths. A second use relates to the inclusion of the delay unit in an optical line emulator (OLE), wherein this optical delay unit (ODL) is coupled to an optical attenuator (ATT) which is also controlled by an operator sending control data (B) via the control interface (CI) and a power control unit (PCU).
