20100063490DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF SKIN, AND USE OF THE DEVICE - The invention provides a skin treatment device comprising a laser source (03-11-2010
20100304864FEEDBACK APPARATUS FOR A GAME - There is provided a feedback apparatus for a game, the feedback apparatus comprising at least one electrode for attachment to a user of the feedback apparatus; and a control unit for measuring at least one physiological characteristic of the user via the at least one electrode; for determining whether the at least one electrode has been attached correctly to the user for a predefined electro-stimulation signal level based on the measured at least one physiological characteristic; and for providing an electro-stimulation signal at the predefined level to the user via the at least one electrode in response to an output from the game if it is determined that the at least one electrode has been attached correctly to the user.12-02-2010
20110044604METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PROVIDE A PHYSICAL STIMULUS TO A USER, TRIGGERED BY A MOTION DETECTION IN A VIDEO STREAM - An audio stream (02-24-2011
20110063208METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVEYING AN EMOTION - The present invention relates to a method for conveying an emotion to a person being exposed to multimedia information, such as a media clip, by way of tactile stimulation using a plurality of actuators arranged in a close vicinity of the person's body, the method comprising the step of providing tactile stimulation information for controlling the plurality of actuators, wherein the plurality of actuators are adapted to stimulate multiple body sites in a body region, the tactile stimulation information comprises a sequence of tactile stimulation patterns, wherein each tactile stimulation pattern controls the plurality of actuators in time and space to enable the tactile stimulation of the body region, and the tactile stimulation information is synchronized with the media clip. An advantage with the present invention is thus that emotions can be induced, or strengthened, at the right time (e.g. synchronized with a specific situation in the media clip).03-17-2011
20110087300WEARABLE DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR A TAMPER FREE ELECTRIC STIMULATION OF A BODY - A wearable device (04-14-2011
20110207100CONTROLLING AN INFLUENCE ON A USER IN A RENDERING ENVIRONMENT - A method of controlling an influence on a user (08-25-2011

20090198223SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CARDIAC ABLATION USING LASER INDUCED OPTICAL BREAKDOWN - Systems and methods for achieving sub-surface, highly spatially selective cardiac ablation by means of laser induced optical breakdown (LIOB) are disclosed. Damage to non-targeted heart and artery/vein tissue is to be minimized according to the present disclosure. A catheter enters the heart, e.g., via a vein, and catheter location is determined/confirmed. Laser pulses are guided through the optical path within the catheter and, at or near the catheter end, a focusing structure is provided that focuses the laser radiation through the non-targeted vein/heart tissue into the targeted tissue. In the focusing structure, laser induced LIOB occurs and related mechanical effects affect the targeted tissue.08-06-2009
