  • Patent number: 11967021
    Abstract: Various techniques pertaining to methods, systems, and computer program products a spatial persistence process that places a virtual object relative to a physical object for an extended-reality display device based at least in part upon a persistent coordinate frame (PCF). A determination is made to decide whether a drift is detected for the virtual object relative to the physical object. upon or after detection of the drift or deviation, the drift or deviation is corrected at least by updating a tracking map into an updated tracking map and further at least by updating the persistent coordinate frame (PCF) based at least in part upon the updated tracking map, wherein the persistent coordinate frame (PCF) comprises six degrees of freedom relative to the map coordinate system.

  • Publication number: 20240106163
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing including a plug opening and a cable opening. A cable extends through the cable opening away from the housing. An electronic plug is connected to the cable within the housing and extends through the plug opening away from the housing. The electronic plug is selectively moveable relative to the housing between an extended position and a retracted position when a pulling force is applied to the cable. A bias mechanism biases the electronic plug to the extended position.

  • Patent number: 11924899
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) with mesh access. A multi Radio Access Technology (RAT) base station gateway having a MPTCP proxy, proxies an initial MPTCP connection from a User Equipment (UE). The multi-RAT base station gateway determines if the UE is capable of MPTCP to provide MPTCP. When the UE is capable of MPTCP, then the multi-Rat base station provides a Wi-Fi connection and an LTE connection. When the UE is not capable of MPTCP, then the multi-RAT base station provides an LTE connection.
