Abstract: Real-world users of an event simulation system can playback a digital representation of an event that is mapped onto a virtual model of a real-world venue to simulate the event being presented at a real-world venue. As the real-world users are viewing this virtual event, these users can virtually interact with the virtual event, for example, move around the virtual event to view the virtual event at various locations and/or modify parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the virtual event. Thereafter, the event simulation system can propagate these modifications across multiple real-world users of the event simulation system to allow these real-world users to collaboratively interact with the virtual event.

Abstract: Modular air cooling and distribution systems include a fan and heat exchanger cooling assembly and a controller which controls the fan speed based on temperature and velocity measurements. The cooling assembly includes a fluid-to-air heat exchanger and a variable speed fan. The fluid in the fluid-to-air heat exchanger may be propylene glycol or water. The heat exchanger minimizes pressure drop and maximizes heat transfer. The quantity of cooling assemblies is selected to match the indoor cooling requirements. The cooling assemblies are easily assembled together, stacked vertically, and/or connected horizontally, to match the cooling load. If additional cooling capacity is needed in the future, more cooling assemblies can easily be added, and the cooling assemblies may be expanded vertically and/or horizontally. The speed of the fans of the fan and heat exchanger assemblies are controlled based on fluid temperature and fluid velocity measurements, which may be obtained by an anemometer.

Abstract: This invention is a smart ring with spectroscopic sensors. Changes in the spectrum of light which are caused by interaction with (e.g. reflection by or transmission through) matter are analyzed to get information about the composition of that matter. In an example, light emitters can direct light outward toward an environmental object to get information concerning the molecular composition of the object. In an example, light emitters can direct light inward toward the surface of a person's finger to measure one or more biometric parameters.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods disclosed herein provide an optimal viewpoint from which a virtual camera views a scene in an environment surrounding an ego vehicle. A first value is determined indicating an extent to which a first view from a default viewpoint of the virtual camera satisfies first and second view observation objectives. A second value is determined indicating an extent to which a second view from an alternative viewpoint of the virtual camera satisfies the first and second view observation objectives. If the second value exceeds the first value by an amount greater than a specified criterion value, the alternative viewpoint is selected for the virtual camera. If the second value does not exceed the first value by an amount greater than the specified criterion value, the default viewpoint is selected for the virtual camera.

Abstract: Presented are vehicle charging systems and control logic provisioning smart vehicle charging using encrypted wireless connectivity, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles interoperable with such systems. A method of controlling a charging operation of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller retrieving a unique ID assigned to the vehicle from a memory device. When approaching an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS), the controller responsively embeds the unique ID in a wireless message, including encrypting and inserting the unique ID into a dedicated extension frame within the wireless message. The vehicle then broadcasts the wireless message with the embedded and encrypted unique ID. An EVCS controller parses the encrypted unique ID from the wireless message and transmits the encrypted unique ID to a back-office (BO) vehicle services provider.
