Fiche 1 2025-03-27

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Smart eyewear is defined as eyewear incorporating a near-to-eye display. As used herein, near-to-eye display means a display, device, or system, such as a retinal projector, virtual retinal display, visualization element, head-mounted display, heads-up display, or other near-to-eye system, typically worn on the head of a user that generates an image near the eye. In a smart eyewear configuration, a display device is often mounted adjacent to an edge of each of the wearer's eyes and an image is typically displayed in the center of each lens. The location of the displayed image, therefore, forces the wearer to gaze in a direction to view the image generated by the display. Typically positioned near the user's eye, the display is aligned to the central region of the user's field of view to allow review of the displayed information with little or no head movement. This enables the user to view the display while also viewing the area outside the central region and interacting with the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, the displayed image is aligned to a region other than the central region of the user's field of view.

CONT

Near-eye display devices are configured to present images to a user via a display that is positioned close to the user’s eyes. For example, a head-mounted augmented reality display device may be worn on a user’s head to position a near-eye display directly in front of a user’s eyes. A near-eye display may be at least partially see-through to allow a user to view a real-world background in combination with displayed virtual objects. This may allow virtual objects to be displayed such that the virtual objects appear to exist within the real-world environment.

CONT

The technology provides one or more embodiments of a near-eye display (NED) device system. An embodiment of a NED device system comprises a near-eye display device including a near-eye support structure and a near-eye display (NED) supported by the near-eye support structure and having a display field of view. The NED system further comprises an image generation unit supported by the near-eye support structure which outputs image data which is optically coupled to the near-eye display (NED).

OBS

near-to-eye display; near-eye display: data validated by Canadian subject-field experts from École Polytechnique de Montréal, MasterpieceVR and McGill University.

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
  • Wind Energy
DEF

A speed-up effect caused by the pressure difference occurring across hills and ridges, allowing a wind turbine that is placed on top and facing the wind, to capture higher kinetic energy from the wind.

CONT

Speed Up Effects : Hill Effect. A common way of siting wind turbines is to place them on hills or ridges overlooking the surrounding landscape. In particular, it is always an advantage to have as wide a view as possible in the prevailing wind direction in the area. On hills, one may also experience that wind speeds are higher than in the surrounding area.

Fiche 4 2012-02-03

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Decision-Making Process
OBS

In his book "What a Great Idea", Charles Thompson suggested that the only way to truly understand this world is to learn from positives as well as from negatives. Ying-Yang, Summer-Winter, Day-Night are just some examples of that. Problem reversal method is based on stating the problem in reverse. Change a positive statement into a negative one. Next, try to define what something is not, change the direction or location of your perspective. This will give you the opportunity to look at your problem from radically different point of view, which might lead to completely new and unexpected practical solutions.

OBS

The method: 1-State your problem in reverse. Change a positive statement into a negative one. 2-Try to define what something is not. 3-Figure out what everybody else is not doing. 4-Use the "What If" Compass. 5-Change the direction or location of your perspective. 6-Flip-flop results. 7-Turn defeat into victory or victory into defeat.

... if the [fault] trace was aligned approximately perpendicular to the strike [of the beds], it was termed a "dip-fault;"... while if the fault trace was parallel to neither the dip nor the strike, the structure was termed "transverse" or sometimes an "oblique-dip fault. "Such terms, which do not take into account the orientation of the shear plane and the direction of shear displacement and are concerned only with a line exposed in an essentially two-dimensional view, are clearly of very little significance and nowadays are rarely used.

Fiche 10 2005-01-24

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

Remote sensing systems that build up an image by scanning from side to side in a direction that is at right angles to the sensors direction of movement[;] this scanning from side to side is achieved through electromechanical mechanisms which change the direction of view of the sensor.

CONT

Spatial imaging is achieved using the push-broom principle: the across-track scanning is performed electronically and the along-track scanning is made thanks to the satellite motion.

OBS

Sensors aboard the Landsat satellites were built in a "whisk broom" (across track) configuration. In a whisk broom sensor, a mirror scans across the satellite’s path, reflecting light into a single detector which collects data one pixel at a time. The moving parts make this type of sensor expensive and more prone to wearing out.

across-track scanning: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Columbus External Payload Facility (CEPF) is a set of structures added to the starboard end-cone of the Columbus module intended to carry four payload adapters mechanically similar to those used in the NASA ExPRESS Pallet (ExP) programme [RD 2]. Unlike the ExP, the CEPF provides one adapter location that normally points to notional zenith, one oriented to notional nadir, and two to starboard.

OBS

In summary, the CEPF provides suitable interfaces for a small sized remote sensing instrument, either internally pointed/stabilised, or tolerating large excursions around a nominal direction. Large fields of view can be accommodated. The ground track pattern is not optimised for localised studies, nor repeatable on the long term due to altitude variations.

OBS

Columbus external payload facility; CEPF: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

The prosecutor repeated this view when arguing before the jury at the close of the trial.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The fields of view for attached payloads are dependent on payload type and location, with full truss-site payloads having greater latitude in viewing than ExPA payloads. Viewing in the zenith direction for payloads on nadir-pointing truss sites is not generally possible and vice versa. Viewfields for ExPA payloads depend on the payload's position on the pallet and the relative height of adjacent payloads. Positions provide various combinations of viewing in the nadir, zenith, ram, wake, and Earth-limb directions.
