Title: Connector for blind-type curtain and blind-type curtain comprising same
Inventor: SUNG CHUL KIM
IPC: E06B9/386
Filed: 2015-12-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a blind-type curtain and particularly, to a blind-type curtain capable of allowing curtain blinds to be individually separated and washed or replaced and allowing a light-transmitting state and a blackout state to be easily controlled since a plurality of curtain blinds are connected to each other by a connector, and allowing the curtain blinds to easily form a "U" shape since an extension plate is formed. The present invention can increase aesthetics by fastening adjacent blackout curtain parts through the connector. In addition, the present invention enables light transmittance in the curtain state, and can use a blackout curtain effect by using rotation (the angle control of verticals) when adjacent blackout curtain parts are fastened through a connector. Additionally, the present invention facilitates individual washing and repair due to contamination or damage since a plurality of curtain blinds can be individually separated. Furthermore, the present invention can promote an aesthetic appeal since the curtain blind comprises a weight at the lower end thereof, thereby allowing the curtain blind to be tightly pulled. Moreover, the present invention can promote an aesthetic appeal by allowing the color and the pattern of curtain blinds to be different since a plurality of curtain blinds can be individually separated. The present invention can provide a blind-type curtain having a perfect "U" shape since the extension plate for supporting a light-transmitting curtain part is formed at the connector.

Inventor: Arie Tzvieli
IPC: A61B5/16
Filed: 2017-10-02
Abstract: Collecting thermal measurements of various regions on a user's face can have many health-related (and other) applications. However, movements of the user and/or of the user's head can make acquiring this data difficult with many of the known approaches. Some embodiments described herein utilize various combinations of head-mounted thermal cameras, which may be physically coupled to a frame of a head-mounted system (HMS), in order to collect the thermal measurements.
