| 20090033679 | VISUAL INTEGRATION HUB - A plurality of applications are integrated in a system by merging three-dimensional (3-D) display data contributions from the respective applications into a single display scene using a visual integration hub constituted by, for example, a simply programmed processor with suitable input storage to store display states of each application for each active user and suitable display buffers. The respective contributions of display data may be separately manipulated to establish registration or relative positioning and then locked together such that the composite image may be graphically manipulated as a single object. Two-dimensional (2-D) data such as text or spreadsheets are imbedded in the image and manipulated in the same manner as 3-D objects. The hub also allows transfer of graphic data between applications as well as conversion of the graphic data to the format of each respective application. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090041048 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERSONAL LIVE TELEVISION - A system comprising a receiver and a transmitter for sending and receiving audio-video datastreams through fixed IP addresses, which IP addresses are established upon initialization of the transmitter and receiver systems. The transmitter includes an audio-visual capture and encoding subsystems, and the receiver includes an audio-visual decoding and display subsystems. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090231272 | VIRTUAL HAND: A NEW 3-D HAPTIC INTERFACE AND SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS - The present invention discloses a creation of a virtual hand, body part, or tool in a virtual environment, controlled by a new 3-D haptic interface for virtual environments. There is also the provision of a method and arrangement applicable to computer systems for creating a virtual environment, which facilitates a user to touch, feel, edit, and interact with data about the objects, surfaces, and textures in the environment. There is also a provision for multiple virtual hands operating in the same virtual world, so that users can work collaboratively in the virtual world; they can touch, feel and edit the data in the virtual world, including data about the other users' virtual hands. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090231287 | NOVEL TACTILE INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE AND SYSTEM TO REPRESENT AND MANIPULATE COMPUTER-GENERATED SURFACES - The present invention discloses a tactile input/output device for representing and manipulating computer-generated surfaces. Also disclosed are a novel system and method for implementing the forgoing aspects. In essence, there is provided an intuitive concept of manipulating and editing a computer-generated surface, by employing a combination of traditional input and output devices (keyboard, mouse, display, etc.) and a novel device that enables users to touch, edit and modify a physical representation of the surface. The tactile device includes an array of displaceable pins, which are driven by a control system having a plurality of micro-actuators operating in combination with a rack-and-pinion assembly. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100277469 | TACTILE VIRTUAL WORLD - A system for providing a tactile virtual world or environment wherein, in particular, a virtual reality environment provides an interactive 3-D interface for synthesizing the feeling of experiencing a 3-D environment. The invention also provides a method for implementing actual physical applications that can simulate real 3-D environments; for example, such as a physical training exercise or artificial 3-D environments, or simulating the interacting with molecules or complex data sets. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20100173072 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING OXIDIZING-REDUCING OF THE SURFACE OF A STEEL STRIP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH A RADIANT TUBES FURNACE FOR ITS GALVANIZING - A method for guaranteeing the oxidation of a strip designed to prevent the selective oxidation of alloy elements of the steel in a continuous steel strip galvanizing annealing furnace having a pre-heating section and a hold section and provided only with radiant tubes. The oxidation of the strip is designed to prevent the selective oxidation of elements of the steel alloy. The novel method includes the following steps: installation of at least one modified tube capable of injection an oxidizing medium at least one point in the oven heating section and/or at least one point in the hold section and injection of the oxidizing medium by means of the modified tube(s), the oxidizing medium having a composition such that in the conditions of the temperature of the oxidizing medium and the steel strip and as a function of the chemical composition of the strip said medium has a dew point which guarantees an in-depth oxidation of the alloy elements of the steel strip. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110053107 | Method for Operating a Continuous Annealing or Galvanization Line for a Metal Strip - A method for operating a continuous annealing or galvanizing line for a metal strip, uses a direct flame heating section with an upstream zone and a downstream zone. The direct flame heating section is followed by a radiant tube heating section. The metal strip is indirectly heated in the direct flame heating section. The heating of the metal strip is achieved in the upstream zone by combustion of a mixture of atmospheric air and fuel such that the temperature of the combustion gas is between 1250° C. and 1500° C., preferably close to 1350° C. and in the downstream zone, the heating of the metal strip is achieved by combustion of a superoxygenated substoichiometric mixture of air and fuel such that the temperature of the combustion gas achieved at the end of the upstream zone is maintained until the end of the downstream zone of the direct flame heating section. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110059266 | METHOD OF DRYING AND/OR CURING AN ORGANIC COATING ON A CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING METAL STRIP, AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD - A method of drying and/or curing an organic coating on a continuously running metal strip, includes heating the strip by electromagnetic induction in a tunnel furnace having an enclosure with hot internal walls and heating the enclosure. The heating of the strip by electromagnetic induction is coupled with heating by infrared radiation and heating by convection with a combustion gas. The heating of the enclosure of the furnace is performed by convection using the same combustion gas used for heating the strip by convection. A device for implementing the method is also provided. | 03-10-2011 |
