Patent number: 11977230Abstract: A wearable display system includes one or more emissive micro-displays, e.g., micro-LED displays. The micro-displays may be monochrome micro-displays or full-color micro-displays. The micro-displays may include arrays of light emitters. Light collimators may be utilized to narrow the angular emission profile of light emitted by the light emitters. Where a plurality of emissive micro-displays is utilized, the micro-displays may be positioned at different sides of an optical combiner, e.g., an X-cube prism which receives light rays from different micro-displays and outputs the light rays from the same face of the cube. The optical combiner directs the light to projection optics, which outputs the light to an eyepiece that relays the light to a user's eye. The eyepiece may output the light to the user's eye with different amounts of wavefront divergence, to place virtual content on different depth planes.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Michael Anthony Klug, Evgeni Poliakov, Jahja I. Trisnadi, Hyunsun Chung, Lionel Ernest Edwin, Howard Russell Cohen, Robert Blake Taylor, Andrew Ian Russell, Kevin Richard Curtis, Clinton Carlisle

Publication number: 20240144177Abstract: A system, method, process, and mechanism for fulfilling multi-vendor orders within a drive-through complex with a vertical transport system that delivers the multi-vendor orders to pick-up stations located below the floors with the vendors. The system receives an order from a user device of a user, wherein the order includes at least two sub-orders. The sub-orders are processed based at least on the preparation times. The sub-orders are tracked and an available drive-through lane with an available pick-up station is determined for the order including the sub-orders. Notifications may be sent to a user or third party user for order pick-up. When the order is complete, it is consolidated and the order is transferred to the available pick-up station.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Pavilion Capital, LLCInventors: Richard M.

Patent number: 11914150Abstract: A wearable display system includes a light projection system having one or more emissive microdisplays, e.g., micro-LED displays. The light projection system projects time-multiplexed left-eye and right-eye images, which pass through an optical router having a polarizer and a switchable polarization rotator. The optical router is synchronized with the generation of images by the light projection system to impart a first polarization to left-eye images and a second different polarization to right-eye images. Light of the first polarization is incoupled into an eyepiece having one or more waveguides for outputting light to one of the left and right eyes, while light of the second polarization may be incoupled into another eyepiece having one or more waveguides for outputting light to the other of the left and right eyes. Each eyepiece may output incoupled light with variable amounts of wavefront divergence, to elicit different accommodation responses from the user's eyes.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Jahja I.

Patent number: 11768495Abstract: The invention provides a computer-implemented method of planning a path for a mobile robot such as an autonomous vehicle in the presence of K obstacles. The method uses, for each of the K obstacles, a shape Bk and a density function pk(x) representing the probabilistic position of the obstacle. The method repeats the following steps for at least two different paths A: —choosing a path A, where A is the swept area of the robot within a given time interval; and—calculating based on the density function of each obstacle and the swept path an upper bound on the total probability of at least one collision FD between the robot and the K obstacles. This allows a number of candidate paths to be ranked for safety. By precomputing factors of the computational steps over K obstacles, the computation per path is O(N), and not O(NK). A safety threshold can be used to filter out paths below that threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Five AI LimitedInventors: Andrew Blake, Subramanian Ramamoorthy, Svetlin-Valentinov Penkov, Majd Hawasly, Francisco Maria Girbal Eiras, Alejandro Bordallo Mico, Alexandre Oliveira E.
