Inventor: FILIPPELLO MASSIMO
IPC: A61N1/05

Abstract: A method of eye treatment for prevention of presbyopia and glaucoma envisages stimulation of the ciliary body to determine contraction thereof via a low-voltage d.c. current sent in the formof pulse trains. This contraction, if applied in a rhythmic way at a constant frequency, subjects the ciliary muscle to a passive gymnastics increasing the force of contraction thereof, the dimensions, and the efficiency. This increase of force enables the crystalline to be moved with greater efficiency and consequently increases the power of accommodation thereof. Likewise, the contraction of the ciliary muscle stretches the tendinous formation in direct contact with the sclero-corneal trabeculate and increases the distance between the lamellae of the sclero-corneal angle, restoring the natural function of the trabeculate and thus preventing glaucoma. Stimulation of the anatomical area corresponding to the ciliary body occurs through the use of conductive electrodes positioned in direct contact with the bulbar conjunctiva at an appropriate distance from the corneal limbus. A contact lens is described containing four electrodes, which facilitates contact of the electrodes in both eyes and facilitates the work of the operator.

Abstract: Our product known as MagiTips, is a coloring finger apparatus that allows children and other less dexterous individuals to color with their fingers. The simple yet convenient design of our product makes it attractive and useful with a wide variety of colours. The product consists of three parts: a base, a crayon head and an elastic strap. First, the base is prepared by gluing foam to a circular piece of plastic. The crayon head is made by melting crayons into an oval shape. These two parts are placed together and the elastic strap is sewn. It is a fairly short and simple process that can be done at home. The MagiTips is more preferable compared to finger-paint and other liquid coloring utensils because it is a clean, washable and a fun alternative. The large, oval shaped crayon head will allow children to color at a much faster rate, but at the same time, not waver in delivering crisp lines.

Abstract: Video sharing is described. In an embodiment, mobile video capture devices such as mobile telephones capture video streams of the same event. A video sharing system obtains contextual information about the video streams and uses that to form a video output from the streams, that output being for sharing by other entities.  For example, the formed video provides an enhanced viewing experience as compared with an individual one of the input video streams. In embodiments the contextual information may be obtained from content analysis of the video streams, from stored context information and from control information such as device characteristics. In some embodiments the video streams of a live event are received and the output video formed in real time. In examples feedback is provided to video capture devices to suggest that the zoom, viewing position or other characteristics are adjusted or to achieve this automatically.

Title: Sphere detection and rate selection for a mimo transmission
Inventor: WALTON JAY RODNEY
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2007-01-10
Abstract: Techniques for performing sphere detection to recover data symbols sent in a MIMO  transmission are described. In an aspect, sphere detection is performed for data symbols generated with at least two modulation schemes. In another aspect, sphere detection is performed for the data symbols in an order determined based on at least one attribute of the data symbols, which may be error probabilities, modulation schemes, and/or link margins for the data symbols. In yet another aspect, rates for multiple data streams detected with sphere detection are selected based on channel state information. Signal qualities of the data streams may be estimated based on the channel state information, e.g., (1) an upper triangular matrix used for sphere detection and/or (2) an assumption that interference from data streams already detected is canceled. The rates for the data streams may be selected based on the estimated signal qualities.
