Abstract: A synthetic-image device (1) comprises an image layer and a focusing element array. Composite image objects of the image layer are a merging of at least a first and a second set of image objects. The first set of image objects are arranged for giving rise to a guiding synthetic image (41). The guiding synthetic image, when being moved to be viewed in a direction, presents a first part image and a second part image moving towards a predetermined relative geometrical relation with respect to each other. The second set of image objects is arranged for giving rise to an effect synthetic image (42) within a limited effect field of view. The limited effect field-of-view is selected as including viewing directions only in angular vicinity of any of the direction, or excluding viewing directions only in angular vicinity of any of the direction.

Title: Adding and/or subtracting apparatus
Inventor: PETER WEBB
IPC: G06C1/00
Filed: 2019-05-28
Abstract: Adding and/or subtracting apparatus, e.g. abacus 10, comprises columns 20, 22, 24 of at least nine placeholder indicators 16, 160, 260 of equal height. Each indicator is marked with indicia representing its value, e.g. “units” indicators have one dot, “tens” indicators have ten dots, etc. The indicators are movable between a storage area and an operations area, the operations area being substantially nine indicators high. A horizontal line may separate the areas and have different coloured regions above and below it. Indicia may signal that indicators in one column should be changed for an indicator in the adjacent column. Sensors 50 may be located in each column’s operations area and actuate when the operations area is full. Each sensor may trigger a visual indicator, e.g. an LED or light. Sensors may also be located at each position of the placeholder indicators within the operations area. A circuit may detect how many indicators are present in each column by counting actuated sensors. A display, e.g. LCD or multi-segment LED 54, may show a numerical read-out of each column’s value. Also claimed is a touch screen computer displaying a GUI representation of the abacus, wherein the indicators are represented as slidable blocks.

Title: Operating mechanism for operating at least one contact
Inventor: ALBERT JOZEF PETER POSTMUS
IPC: H01H33/666
Filed: 2020-11-10
Abstract: Cam-actuated mechanism 1 for operating at least one contact. The mechanism comprises a base frame 2 and an operating rod 3 for connection to the contact, linearly guided by the frame. A contact spring 4 urges the operating rod to its open (raised) position. A cam 9 arranged on a camshaft 8 abuts a cam-follower 7. The cam-follower is mounted on the hinge of a two-link hinged rod mechanism 5,6. The ends of the two-link hinged rod are connected to the base frame and the operating rod respectively. The cam has a profile, in the rotational direction, with a closing section (12, figure 3), an opening section (13, figure 3), and an idle section (14, figure 3). The camshaft includes a lock for locking the cam in position where the point of maximum radius presses against the cam-follower and the contact is closed (figure 4). A spring (11, figure 7) connects a crank (10, figure 7) in the crankshaft to the base frame such that the spring is pretensioned in the locked position. The spring is arranged to relax as the cam follower runs over the closing section of the cam towards the opening section. The opening section of the cam is shaped so that the cam-follower follows the profile of the cam as the operating rod moves from the closed to the open positions (figure 6), thus preventing the contact rebounding off its upper travel limit as the contact opens.

Title: Changing tactile sensitivity of interactions with midair interfaces
Inventor: AARON BAUGHMAN
IPC: H03B11/00
Filed: 2019-04-12
Abstract: A reflection is captured of a subsonic signal reflected by a contact surface. The contact surface is contacting a simulated surface of an object projected from a midair interface (MAI) device. A difference between the subsonic signal and the reflection is converted into a measurement of a flow in the contact surface. When the measurement is in a range of measurements, a change is caused in a temperature of a volume of a medium, the simulated surface being projected in volume of the medium, where the change in the temperature causes a second change in the flow in the contact surface.
