Abstract: Electrical displacement-, load- or force sensor com¬ prising a spring which is subjectable to a mechanical load or force and an inductive sensor element for measuring an elec¬ trical parameter that varies depending on said mechanical load or force on the spring, wherein the inductive sensor element is the spring and said spring is placed in series with an electrical circuit comprising in parallel a switching element and an RC circuit. The sensor can then be used to measure the load or force applied to the spring by arranging that the spring is energized through an electrical current flowing through the spring and through the current path with the switching element parallel to the RC circuit, and by subse¬ quently interrupting the current from flowing through the cur¬ rent path parallel to the RC circuit and forcing it to flow through the RC circuit. A voltage decay time of an electrical energy received by the RC circuit upon interruption of the current flowing through the current path parallel to the RC circuit is then measured and used as a measure for the load or force applied to the spring.

Abstract: Immersive videos have dimensions and a resolution involving a large volume of data to be transmitted over a communication network. To reduce the amount of data transmitted, immersive videos are frequently represented by a plurality of versions, each version being optimised in terms of quality for a viewing point on the immersive video, the parts of the immersive video not representing the viewing point for which the version has been optimised being of lower quality. In said context, a user using suitable viewing equipment to view the immersive video must change the version each time the viewing point changes. Each version is usually stored on a server relatively remote from the viewing equipment. Said situation may cause latency in the reception of a new version following a change of viewing point. The invention makes it possible to reduce said latency time by allowing a node of the intermediate network between the server and the viewing equipment to transmit each version to said equipment in place of the server.

Abstract: A measurement unit (101) is attached to a measurement target person and measures an acceleration. A body motion calculation unit (104) obtains the magnitude of a body motion of the measurement target person based on the acceleration measured by the measurement unit (101). An activity state determination unit (105) time-serially obtains an activity state representing whether the measurement target person is in a first state (rising state) or a second state (lying state), based on a posture decided by a posture decision unit (103) and the magnitude of the body motion calculated by the body motion calculation unit (104). If the activity state after the activity state has transitioned continues for a predetermined time defined in advance, an activity state correction unit (106) determines that the transition of the activity state obtained by the activity state determination unit (105) has been done. A time correction unit (107) returns the transition time of the activity state determined by the activity state correction unit (106) by the predetermined time.

Abstract: A contact lens structure provides adequate corneal oxygenation while accommodating a relatively thick core with electronic devices, in one approach, an oxygen collection stratum, such as a gas-permeable outer layer coupled with an underlying air gap, collects oxygen from the ambient air. On the cornea-side, an oxygen distribution stratum, such as a gas-permeable inner layer coupled with an overlying air gap, provides distribution of oxygen to the cornea. The two strata are connected via a network of oxygen pathways, such as air shafts through the relatively impermeable core. Thus, the oxygen collection stratum collects oxygen over a portion of the outer surface of the contact lens, which is transmitted through most of the thickness of the contact lens via the oxygen pathways to the oxygen distribution stratum, where the oxygen is distributed to the cornea of the wearer.

Abstract: Techniques for operating a mechanical oscillator as a quantum memory are described. According to some aspects, a qubit may be coupled to a piezoelectric material such that the electric field of the qubit causes stress within the piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material may be in contact with a crystalline substrate forming an acoustic resonator such that the qubit couples to bulk acoustic waves in the crystalline substrate via its interaction with the piezoelectric material. According to some aspects, application of a suitable electromagnetic pulse to the qubit may cause an exchange of energy from the qubit to the acoustic phonon system and thereby transfer quantum information from the qubit to the phonon system.
