Patent EP-4145481-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THOMPSON CHASE A
IPC: H01H13/06
Filed: 2022-08-29
Abstract: This disclosure relates to ingress-tolerant input devices. Aspects of the disclosure relate to an ingress-tolerant switch assembly 100 for operating an electronic device 10 in an ingress-protected manner. The switch assembly includes a button 115 configured to be coupled to an outer surface 30 of an enclosure 20 of the electronic device 10. The switch assembly also includes a spring 120 operably coupled to the button 115 and a magnet 130 coupled to the spring 120. A pressing force applied by a user to the button 115 overcomes a spring force of the spring 120 to move the magnet 130 into proximity of a magnetic sensor 50 to cause the magnetic sensor to generate a sensor signal for performing a function of the electronic device.
Patent EP-4177172-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EXNER PETER
IPC: F21L4/00
Filed: 2022-09-08
Abstract: A device is configured to provide assistance during extravehicular activity. The device obtains and operates on first data indicative of one or more objects (350) in a detection space. The device is configured to process the first data for determination of one or more properties for the object(s); evaluate, based on the one or more properties, the object(s) in relation to a set of rules to determine one or more user instructions, and cause an illumination arrangement (301) to provide the one or more user instructions (301") by selective projection of the light (301') in relation to the one or more objects. The device thereby reduces the reliance on cognitive processing by user(s) to take decisions on how to proceed in a situation, and instead the cognitive processing of information about the surroundings in relation to the task at hand is offloaded to the device.
Patent EP-4152256-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOREAU MICHEL
IPC: G06T7/12
Filed: 2022-09-16
Abstract: Techniques are described for contouring of a region of interest based on imaging parameters of spatial imaging data and guided by user input of locations in the spatial imaging data, which may be used for segmentation or radiation treatment planning. An approach is described of combining a new paint brush tool with an edge-detection algorithm to correct for both the jagged contours and the painting routine not being executed often enough. By using an edge-detection algorithm, the user does not need to focus as much attention on moving the mouse accurately because the system will find the true organ boundary (e.g., using the image gradient) automatically, which may also lead to more time savings.
