  • Publication number: 20240126086
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating a head-mounted display system based on user perceptibility. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes by presenting the content with different amounts of wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include obtaining an image captured by an imaging device of the display system. Whether a threshold measure or more of motion blur is determined to be exhibited in one or more regions of the image. Based on a determination that the threshold measure or more of motion blur is exhibited in one or more regions of the image, one or more operating parameters of the wearable display are adjusted. Example operating parameter adjustments comprise adjusting the depth plane on which content is presented (e.g., by switching from a first depth plane to a second depth plane), adjusting a rendering quality, and adjusting power characteristics of the system.

  • Publication number: 20230267062
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for recommending a set of actions to be performed to improve a target performance metric of a client application. An action recommendation system receives the target performance metric from a user associated with the client application. The action recommendation system determines features of the client application describing characteristics and performance history of the client application. The features of the client application and the target performance metric is provided as input to a machine learning model that outputs sets of target features that are likely to result in improvement for the target performance metric. The action recommendation system ranks the sets of target features and selects one of the sets based on the ranking. The action recommendation system determines a set of recommended actions based on the selected set of target features and presents the set of recommended actions to the user.

  • Patent number: 11608781
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake comprising an inner wall facing the axis X and an outer wall for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the inner cavity, the ventilation orifice comprising an upstream edge, the circumferential profile of which is discontinuous in order to generate turbulences, and a downstream edge, the radial profile of which is aerodynamic in order to limit the formation of pressure fluctuations.

  • Patent number: 11591960
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake extending circumferentially around the axis X and comprising an inner wall, which faces the axis X in order to guide an inner air flow, and an outer wall, which is opposite the inner wall, for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall in order to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the internal cavity, the air intake comprising at least one disruption member of the external air flow, positioned upstream of the ventilation orifice, which extends outwardly from the outer wall.

  • Publication number: 20220311834
    Abstract: An analytics system determines the number of downloads for a content item during a first time interval. The system receives engagement data from a plurality of client devices in a panel of client devices. Based on the engagement data, a partial install base for the content item during the first time interval is determined. Based on the determined partial install base for the content item and historical data for other content items, a preliminary install base for the content item during the first time interval is determined. Responsive to determining that the engagement for the content item is greater than a threshold value, an estimated number of downloads for the content item during the first time interval is determined. The estimated number of downloads for the content item during the first time interval is determined based on the preliminary install base for the content item for the first time interval.
