  • Patent number: 11995228
    Abstract: A system and method for head tracking for a head worn display (HWD) includes head-frame and platform-frame IMUs providing high-rate pose data of the wearer's head and a mobile platform. An optical tracker estimates an optical pose of a camera oriented at fiducials based on a comparison of 2D image data captured by the camera (and portraying the fiducials within the image) and the known location of each fiducial in a 3D marker frame. The pIMU also provides low-rate, high-integrity georeferenced pose data of the mobile platform (e.g., in an earth frame). The head tracker provides low-rate, high-integrity absolute head pose solutions (e.g., user head pose in the earth frame) based on the georeferenced pose data and current high-rate head/platform pose data, updating the absolute pose solutions with high-rate updates based on combined extended Kalman filter propagation of the high-rate head and platform pose data with refined optical pose data.

  • Publication number: 20160055317
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling transfer of a drug from a first drug container to a second drug container including a drug identification component that recognizes a first drug container to retrieve drug identifying data for the drug, a storage medium that stores a site-specific database comprising attributes and associated values for a set of drugs including the drug in the first drug container, a processor that obtains the drug identifying data and the attributes and associated values for the drug and produces information about the drug using the drug identifying data and the attributes and associated values, a rules engine that applies one or more rules to the information about the drug to generate drug handling information, and an output unit that outputs markings comprising the drug handling information in human-readable or machine-readable form, or both, to be associated with the second container.
