  • Publication number: 20220180612
    Abstract: Provided are various systems and methods that establish a self-service AR generation and publication platform. The platform is configured to allow novice users to build AR experiences for rendering to other users. The platform encodes the AR experiences under a universal data format that decouples generation functions from later visualization responsive to a recognizable visual trigger. Access to the file triggers request, retrieval, rendering and display of the user defined AR Media and associated options set for that specific AR Experience. Also provided is a AR universal browser which public and private users can execute to view, share, load, and experience user generated AR Media (e.g., generated on the platform). The browser can provide the connections, logic and security needed to initialize and load the specific aggregation of data for the AR experience.

  • Patent number: 4302209
    Abstract: The specification discloses lignite pellets which are relatively hard, dust resistant, of generally uniform size and free from spontaneous ignition and general degradation. Also disclosed are methods for making such pellets which involve crushing as mined lignite, mixing said lignite with a binder such as asphalt, forming the lignite binder mixture into pellets, and drying the pellets.
