  • Publication number: 20240193888
    Abstract: Systems and methods include transforming a digital file into a three-dimensional object that is spatially positioned in a three-dimensional virtual environment to visually organize the digital file relative to the three-dimensional virtual environment. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to receiving the digital file that includes digital file parameters and is in a file format. The digital file is transforming into the three-dimensional object based on the digital file parameters associated with the digital file. The three-dimensional object is representative of the presentation of the digital file when executed by the computing device. The three-dimensional object is spatially positioned at a spatial location in the three-dimensional environment based on the digital file parameters of the digital file.

  • Patent number: 5691780
    Abstract: A motor control unit (15c) for synchronizing a color wheel (15) to an incoming video signal and for re-synchronizing the color wheel after a channel change. The motor control unit (15c) has an error control unit (31), which detects an out-of-phase condition, and derives a color wheel sync signal from the pixel sample clock adjusted by any phase error. A drive unit (33) phase locks this sync signal to an index signal provided by the color wheel. The result is a tightly controlled re-synchronization that minimizes perceived effects.
