Patent number: 8861327Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating are disclosed. A method includes obtaining input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols, converting input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and transmitting transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another method includes receiving transmittable waveforms constructed using non-periodic functions and transmitted over a communication channel, and demodulating transmittable waveforms. A system includes a modulator adapted to obtain input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols and adapted to convert input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and a transmitter or transceiver adapted to transmit transmittable waveforms over a communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Astrapi CorporationInventors: Jerrold D.

Patent number: 6497649Abstract: Display of an independent visual background provides a visual reference corresponding to the perceptions of a person's vestibular system, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating motion sickness that otherwise occur due to a mismatch between the visual perception of motion or non-motion and the sensations of the vestibular system. If the person is wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), is in motion, or is in a moving environment, a motion tracking system or other motion sensors are employed to produce signals indicative of the motion of the environment and/or of the person. The signals produced are then processed using a vestibular model, producing a modified signal corresponding to the perception of motion by the person's vestibular system. Using this modified signal, the independent visual background is displayed to the user, providing a visual reference that corresponds to the perception of the vestibular system.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2001Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: University of WashingtonInventors: Donald E. Parker, Been-Lirn Henry Duh, Thomas A. Furness, Jerrold D. Prothero, Eric J. Seibel
