Patent published on the 2026-05-21 in WO under Ref WO2026106309 by SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO LTD [KR] (Gupta Rishabh [in], Karthik Munukutla L N Srinivas [in], Chelamkuri Omsrinath [in], Gadde Raj Narayana [in], Min Kyoungbo [kr], Palanivel Yughendaran [in])
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for active noise control (ANC) in an audio playback device. An ambient audio signal and a feedback audio signal are received via a first audio input device positioned outwardly and a second audio input device positioned inwardly on the audio playback device, respectively. An estimated leaked signal is determined based on the ambient and feedback audio signals. An initial anti-noise audio signal corresponding to dominant noise sources within a plurality of sub-bands of the a[...]
Our summary: The method involves receiving ambient and feedback audio signals through two input devices. It estimates a leaked signal and extracts an initial anti-noise signal based on dominant noise sources. Finally, it generates an anti-noise signal for playback, tailored to the user s ear canal parameters.

Virtual reality pose estimation apparatus and method using haptic device
Patent published on the 2026-05-21 in WO under Ref WO2026106377 by UNIV NAT CHONNAM IND FOUND [KR] (Kim Myeong-jin [kr], Yong Han-bit [kr], Kim Hyeon-su [kr])
Abstract: The present invention relates to a virtual reality pose estimation apparatus and method using a haptic device. The apparatus comprises: an input unit for receiving, through a plurality of input devices, input point data for the estimation of a pose of a haptic device; a global feature extraction unit which inputs the input point data into a multilayer perceptron (MLP) model so as to extract point-wise features, and which extracts a global feature on the basis of the point-wise features; and a po[...]
Our summary: The invention details a virtual reality pose estimation system utilizing a haptic device. It includes an input unit for gathering data from multiple devices to estimate the haptic device s pose. A multilayer perceptron model extracts features from the input data, which are then processed by a hierarchical neural network for pose estimation.

Golf tool for setting and retrieving golf tees and balls without bending
Patent published on the 2026-05-21 in US under Ref US20260137988 by ZARYCZNY JERRY [US] (Zaryczny Jerry [us])
Abstract: [0000] The present invention is an ergonomic golf tool for setting and retrieving golf tees and balls without requiring the user to bend or kneel. It includes a tee housing designed to securely hold a golf tee in an optimal position for insertion into the ground. A holding mechanism applies a compressive or frictional force to secure the tee, releasing it when downward force is applied, leaving the tee in place as the tool is lifted. The tee housing is either removably coupled or integrated with[...]
Our summary: The invention is an ergonomic golf tool designed for setting and retrieving golf tees and balls without bending. It features a tee housing that securely holds a golf tee for easy insertion and a retrieval mechanism for lifting golf balls.

Towards the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy as an assessment tool in disorders of consciousness
Published on 2026-04-30 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a promising neuroimaging tool for assessing patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). While functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have advanced the detection of covert brain function, their use is often constrained by accessibility, medical and physical contraindications, and practical limitations. fNIRS offers a portable, safe, and cost-effective alternative capable of measuring he[...]
Our summary: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising tool for assessing disorders of consciousness (DoC). It provides a portable and cost-effective alternative to fMRI and EEG for measuring brain function. Future research should focus on validation, multimodal integration, and ethical access to enhance DoC care.
