Publication number: 20230230314Abstract: Virtual game worlds for computer games can be provided using machine learning. The use of machine learning enables the virtual game worlds to be generated at run time by standard consumer hardware devices. Machine learning agents are trained in advance to the characteristics of the particular game world. Then, these suitably trained machine learning agents can be used to generate a relevant portion of a virtual game world, such as a portion of the virtual game world that is proximate to a play's position. Advantageously, the virtual game world can be provided in high resolution and is able to cover a substantially larger region than conventional practical.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: PlayerUnknown Productions B.V.Inventors: David Lupien ST-PIERRE, Noel LOPEZ-GONZAGA, Serge VANKEULEN

Patent number: 11446575Abstract: Virtual game worlds for computer games can be provided using machine learning. The use of machine learning enables the virtual game worlds to be generated at run time by standard consumer hardware devices. Machine learning agents are trained in advance to the characteristics of the particular game world. In doing so, ground coverage of the virtual game world can be determined. In one implementation, the ground coverage is determined using at least one ground coverage agent, which is a trained machine learning agent to provide appropriate ground coverage for the terrain of the virtual game world. Advantageously, the virtual game world can be provided in high resolution and is able to cover a substantially larger region than conventional practical.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: PlayerUnknown Productions, B.V.Inventors: David Lupien St-Pierre, Noel Lopez-Gonzaga, Serge vanKeulen

Patent number: 10627850Abstract: A frequency synthesis system includes a memory to store first and second digital control word pairs that each include a first and second control word. A first DAC system generates an analog sampling signal having a first sampling frequency based on a fixed clock signal and the first control word of the first pair during a first time duration having a second sampling frequency based on the first control word of the second pair during a second time duration. A second DAC system generates an analog output signal based on the second control word of the first pair and the first sampling frequency at the first time duration and based on the second control word of the second pair and the second sampling frequency at the second time duration. The analog output signal has a same predetermined output frequency at both the first and second time durations.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: VIASAT, INC.Inventors: Noel A.

Patent number: 10005481Abstract: This device relates to devices that can be used to transport equipment, tools and goods and other items from one location to another. The device can haul equipment such as test or analysis equipment. The device has a pocket and compartment for holding a laptop securely during transport. Affixed to the pocket is a folding first shelf for taking notes or working surface. There is a folding second shelf having telescoping holders for securing equipment. The device has wheels that roll smoothly over uneven surfaces. There are collapsing legs that are used to keep the device stable on uneven surfaces. A collapsing base is used to haul equipment, boxes and other large bulky or heavy items. The device is adjustable in the vertical direction to allow the user to adjust the shelf surfaces to a height that is comfortable.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Inventors: Albert Manuel Lopez, Heather Noel Lopez

Patent number: 9426929Abstract: A MMIC package is disclosed comprising: a leadframe based overmolded package, a die positioned within the overmolded package; and a partial waveguide interface, wherein the partial waveguide interface is integral with the overmolded package facilitating low cost and reliable assembly. Also disclosed is an overmolded package where the die sits on a metal portion exposed on the bottom of the package and the package is configured for attachment to a chassis of a transceiver such that heat from the die is easily dissipated to the chassis with a direct thermal path. The disclosure facilitates parallel assembly of MMIC packages and use of pick and place/surface mounting technology for attaching the MMIC packages to the chassis of transceivers. This facilitates reliable and low cost transceivers.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: ViaSat, Inc.Inventors: David R. Laidig, Kenneth V. Buer, Michael R.
