Patent number: 11720173Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a multi-sensor don/doff detection system for an artificial reality device headset. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can use a combination of a proximity sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and an eye tracking/face tracking (ET/FT) unit to make these determinations. However, when both the ET/FT system and proximity sensor system are active, they can have system coexistence issues. Thus, only one of these systems can be used simultaneously. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can more accurately identify don events by using input from the proximity sensor and the IMU. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can also more accurately identify doff events by using input from the IMU and either A) the proximity sensor when the ET/FT system is disabled or B) the ET/FT system when the ET/FT system is enabled.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Dong Yang, Qiang Zhang, Wen Song, Theresa Loney Casarez

Patent number: 10691001Abstract: A gimbal mount system is configured to a couple to a gimbal coupled to and securing a camera. The gimbal mount system includes a handle, a power source, a user interface, a mounting interface, a communication interface, and a communication bus. The mounting interface is located within an end of the gimbal mount system and includes an opening configured to receive a reciprocal mounting protrusion of the gimbal. A locking mechanism removably couples the gimbal to the gimbal mount system. The communication interface is located within the mounting interface and is configured to couple to a reciprocal communication interface of the gimbal. The communication bus is coupled to the power source, user interface, and communication interface and is configured to provide power from the power source to the gimbal. The communication bus may provide instructions to the gimbal based on user input received via the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Theresa Loney Casarez, John George Muhlenkamp, IV, Stephen Yui, Ryan Harrison

Patent number: 5913174Abstract: A removable connectorized flexible, planar antenna and a removable tethered antenna which attach to a card radio for use in a wireless local area network is disclosed. The planar antenna has a latching mechanism with a pair of release levers which latch to slots in the frame of the card radio to provide an attachment strong enough to be used as an extraction handle for the card radio. The flexible antenna has a flexible sheet with a conductive material applied in a shape specified and connected to the card radio via a RF connection port. A removable tethered antenna is disclosed having at the base of the tethered antenna a dovetailed connector which releasably rotates within a mounting plate affixed to the back of the monitor on a mobile computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1996Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: Proxim, Inc.Inventors: Theresa Loney Casarez, James Alfred Stubstad, Jr., Robin Chu, Mark Edwards
