  • Publication number: 20220303588
    Abstract: The present invention provides for systems and methods of transmitting and converting a landscape image to a portrait image for use in a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environment at a very high speed with negligible latency thus providing a seamless video feed to enhance the VR or AR environment to meet the demands of VR and AR head mounted displays. The present invention further provides for systems and methods for compositing and communicating video, audio, user data, and commands for VR and AR applications with stationary and moving participants. The present invention overcomes the unmet needs of the art by providing a wireless video processing which includes equipment that has a low power consumption, while providing a reliable and seamless virtual or simulated environment. The present invention further overcomes the unmet need by providing systems and methods to reduce the latency caused by image rotation.

  • Patent number: 10253529
    Abstract: A safe comprises a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing defining an interior compartment for storage of items, the second housing portion being pivotal with respect to the first housing portion between closed and open positions. A latching mechanism cooperates with spaced apart first and second strikers to maintain the second housing portion in the closed position. The latching mechanism includes movable first and second locking elements that engage respective of the first and second strikers when the second housing portion is being maintained in the closed position. The first and second locking elements are retracted away from the first and second strikers to release the second housing portion into the open position. A motor having a rotatable output shaft carries a drive dog. A rotating plate rotatable about an axis is also provided, the rotating plate having an engaging element that is driven by the drive dog.
