Abstract: Methods for generating and displaying images associated with one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment at a frame rate that is greater than a rendering frame rate are described. The rendering frame rate may correspond with the minimum time to render images associated with a pose of a head-mounted display device (HMD). In some embodiments, the HMD may determine a predicted pose associated with a future position and orientation of the HMD, generate a pre-rendered image based on the predicted pose, determine an updated pose associated with the HMD subsequent to generating the pre-rendered image, generate an updated image based on the updated pose and the pre-rendered image, and display the updated image on the HMD. The updated image may be generated via a homographic transformation and/or a pixel offset adjustment of the pre-rendered image.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for fusing virtual content with real content to provide a mixed reality experience for one or more users. The system includes a mobile display device communicating with a hub computing system. In examples, the mobile display device includes a color sequential display for displaying an image over a number of color channels. Image data on respective color channels may be adjusted based on a predicted position of the mobile display device at a time the sequential color display projects the image.

Abstract: An apparatus in an example comprises an integrated circuit and one or more resistors. The integrated circuit comprises an internal current source and an external interface pin. The one or more resistors arc external to the integrated circuit and coupled with the external interface pin of the integrated circuit. Application of current from the internal current source of the integrated circuit to the one or more resistors through the external interface pin serves to generate a voltage that is employed to identify the integrated circuit.

Abstract: Embodiments for controlling fire signals are disclosed.

Abstract: A colorful rope light characterized by colored transparent cladding interposed between a lighted core and an extruded clear cover. The cladding can include selected lengths of tubing, including shrink tubing and longitudinally slit tubing, as well as wrapped strips of transparent colored material. The cladding can also be provided with various color patterns. One or more units of the rope light can each have multiply colored portions, facilitating a wide variety of effects.

Abstract: A colorful decorative light is disclosed. The colorful light includes a length of flexible core provided with mini-bulbs and wires electrically connecting to the mini-bulbs, and a substantially transparent outer covering encasing the core. In addition, a colorful and transparent cladding is arranged between the core and the outer covering, in order to provide a fancy decoration.

Abstract: A decorative optical fiber includes a flexible thread made of an optical medium, a substantially transparent cladding encasing the flexible thread of the optical medium, and a protective covering encasing the cladding. The cladding is made of a material having a lower index of refraction than that of the optical medium, and the protective covering is substantially transparent and has a rugged outer face.

Abstract: An optical fiber tube includes a core material having multiple nylon filaments twisted with each other in a helical manner, a plurality of single strand optical fibers mounted around the core material and twisted with the core material in a helical manner, a tubular protective film mounted around the plurality of single strand optical fibers, and a plastic sleeve mounted around the protective film.

Abstract: A lamp connector includes a terminal base connected between two opposed ends of adjacent lamps and an enclosure receiving the two opposed ends and the terminal base. The enclosure is composed of a first part and a second part opposed to each other. The first part of the enclosure has a cross section shaped as an "L" and the second part of the enclosure has a cross section shaped as an inverted "L" so as to define a cuboid space therein for receiving two adjacent lamps with rectangular cross sections. The first part and the second part further have a series of ribs extending from an inside wall thereof for fastening the two opposed ends of the lamps. Also, each lamp has two series of bulbs arranged in a manner that the bulbs of one series are staggered with those of the other series so that it provides a subdued light effect under the control of a control circuit.
