  • Patent number: 11936453
    Abstract: Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data transmissions are provided with a forward-predictive precoding matrix to mitigate the effects of a change in a state of a communication channel. First and second soundings are performed, at first and second times, to a receive antenna over a channel and, responsive to each of the soundings, first and second Channel State Information (CSI) are received. Based on the first and second CSI, a change in a state of the channel over a time period between the first and second time is determined. Based on the change in the state of the channel, a forward-predictive channel state matrix and/or a forward-predictive precoding matrix are determined that reflect a state of the channel at a future time and that are consistent with the determined change in the state over the time period. The forward-predictive precoding matrix is applied to a data transmission.

  • Patent number: 10216382
    Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting a translation of a message and a gesture to a sender of the message. A selection of the translation from multiple translations of the message in a language of a recipient of the message is received from the sender. The gesture, which is part of a culture of the recipient, is found in a data repository. The gesture communicates at least a part of, adds a meaning to, removes an ambiguity in, or adds a granular qualification to the translation. The selected translation and an indicator of the gesture are presented to the sender. A selection of the indicator of the gesture is received from the sender. The gesture is presented to the sender. Presenting the gesture increases the knowledge of the sender about the culture of the recipient. The selected translation and the gesture are presented to the recipient.

The gesture, which is part of a culture of the recipient, is found in a data repository. The selected translation and an indicator of the gesture are presented to the sender. A selection of the indicator of the gesture is received from the sender. The gesture and notes indicating how the gesture provides an interpretation of the translation are presented to the sender. The interpretation is specific to the culture of the recipient. Presenting the gesture and the notes increases the knowledge of the sender about the culture of the recipient. The selected translation and the gesture are presented to the recipient.

  • Patent number: 8875019
    Abstract: A method and system for presenting choices of different translations of a message and corresponding interpretations of the different translations. The message that is input by a sender to be sent to an intended recipient is received. Choices of the different translations of the message and different corresponding interpretations of the different translations are retrieved and presented. The different translations are in a language understood by the recipient. The different interpretations are specific to a culture of the recipient. A selection of a translation of the different translations is received. The selection of the translation is based on a review of the different interpretations by the sender. The selected translation is presented to the recipient.

  • Patent number: 8398486
    Abstract: Embodiments of this invention create a mechanism for visual and other communication between two or more separate/distinct 3-dimensional virtual universes (VUs) akin to a “wormhole” or “tunnel”. Additionally, embodiments of the present invention allow a mechanism for a player to walk through such a tunnel, logging out from a first VU and logging into a second VU. Embodiments of the present invention utilize streaming video abilities in both virtual universes and the capability to capture output in a useable format and convert to a d streaming video standard.
