| 20100183159 | Method and System for Spatialization of Sound by Dynamic Movement of the Source - The invention relates to a method and the system for algorithmic processing of signals for sound spatialization making it possible to associate sound signals with information that has to be located by a listener, the spatialized sound signals being defined by a virtual position of origin corresponding to the position of the information wherein by algorithmic processing, a spatialized sound signal has an oscillatory movement applied to it describing a sequence of virtual positions of the said signal around the virtual position of origin. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110006984 | Optical Helmet-Position Detection Device Having a Large Dynamic Range - The general field of the invention is that of optical devices for detecting the position/orientation of a helmet. The device according to the invention comprises an optional stationary light source, a stationary camera associated with an image processing system, and a helmet. The helmet has a scattering coating and includes at least one set of markers, each marker comprising at least a first optical element having a very low reflection coefficient, a very low scattering coefficient and a very high absorption coefficient in the visible range and in that of the light source. In one embodiment, each marker may also include a first optical element having a very high retroreflection coefficient and a very low scattering coefficient in the visible range. The marker may also include a second optical element having a high scattering or phosphorescence coefficient in the emission range of the light source. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110007399 | Head-up Display with Optical Combination Providing Protection Against Solar Illumination - The general field of the invention is that of head-up display systems HUD, protected from solar illumination. An HUD comprises at least one display, an optical system and at least one semi-reflecting plate called a combiner, said optical system and said combiner being arranged so that the image on the display is collimated, the display emitting in at least one first optical spectrum of first spectral width, the display being arranged so as to withstand illumination of a predetermined level. In the display according to the invention, the lateral chromatism of the optical system is sufficiently strong for the level of solar illumination received by the display to be always less than said predetermined level and said lateral chromatism is sufficiently weak for the dispersion of the first spectrum emitted by the display and seen by a user to be less than or equal to the resolution limit of the human eye. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110265235 | Helmet Shell Made of Composite Material - The general field of the invention is that of helmet shells made of composite material comprising at least one “armure” of fabrics impregnated with a resin matrix. Certain parts of the “armure” are impregnated with a resin matrix comprising an additive adapted to reinforce the mechanical strength of the helmet, the said parts corresponding to the weakest zones of a human head, such as the top of the head or the ears. Preferably, the resin is of the epoxy type and the additive is based on acrylic block copolymers. More precisely, the additive is of the “Nanostrength®” brand. | 11-03-2011 |
