Title: Artificial sports surface
Inventor: ALLINGHAM PAUL
IPC: E01C13/08
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: A synthetic turf sports flooring product with a performance surface upon which sports can be played. The flooring product is formed from polymer fibres entangled to provide a sports surface layer which provides the performance surface, and substantially all of the polymer fibres of the sports surface layer are locked in position relative to the synthetic turf sports flooring product as a whole by the arrangement of fibres and contact between fibres in the mat. The fibres may be locked in position by entanglement, surface friction between fibres and/or inherent bonding of fibres in the synthetic turf sports flooring product. The product can provide a predictable playing surface which changes little with varying moisture and temperature changes during play, at least in part by avoiding the use of bonding chemicals in its structure. An underlay material of similar construction can be used in conjunction with the playing surface.

Filed: 2015-03-09
Abstract: Mixed reality system comprising: a headset with a visor placed over the users eyes; image capture means (eg. camera) that captures images of the real world environment surrounding a user; a processor configured to: receive data from multiple sources; blend the data and selected portions or objects from the real world images into a 3D virtual environment; and display the resulting augmented reality on the headset screen. Cameras may be mounted on the head-mounted display (HMD) aligned with operators eyes. Imagers may be spatially seperated enabling creation of a stereoscopic depth map to produce a three dimensional picture. Displayed data may be manipulated using predefined hand gestures that are stored in a database and associated with control actions. A control signal may be generated by comparing or matching images of users hand gestures against the database. Inanimate items, features, regions or people may be specified for inclusion in the mixed reality. Display configuration settings, such as the nature, location and orientation of displayed information, may be stored and transferred from one real environment to a different real environment.

IPC: G05G7/00
Filed: 2016-04-11
Abstract: A control method suitable for an inceptor, comprising subtracting a force feedback signal from a force applied to the inceptor and deriving a velocity signal from said difference; an integrator receives the velocity signal and sums a received trim input signal to generate a position signal; the position signal is received and the trim input signal are received at a circuit which when no trimming operation is required: extracts a force value corresponding to the position signal from a predetermined force-position map and outputs the extracted force as a force feedback signal; and when a trimming operation is required: modifies the predetermined force-position map by an amount equal to the trim position, represented by the received trim input signal, and selects and outputs a force feedback signal from the modified force-position map. The trim input signal may be a difference in trim point from a last iteration. The magnitude of the position signal may be limited. A further force feedback may be determined based on the velocity signal, such that the system is configured as second order mass spring damper system.
