Abstract: Some aspects discussed herein may provide for a dynamic and real-time analysis of a virtual environment around a player as the player traverses the virtual environment. The analysis may determine candidate hooks (interaction points) for player movement in the virtual environment, and a best hook may be selected for performing a movement action. The movement action may be selected based on the selected hook, providing fluid and natural movement through the virtual environment. The candidate hooks may be determined based on a plurality of three dimensional ray traces originating from points along a left side and a right side of the player and at a range of heights. Collision points from the ray traces may be analyzed to determine whether they may support movement interaction, and valid points may be used to create the candidate hooks.

Abstract: A wind turbine includes a turbine housing, a turbine wheel system housed in the turbine housing, and a wind power converting system for converting kinetic energy generated by the turbine wheel system into electrical energy. The turbine wheel system includes a turbine rotor being driven to rotate circumferentially around an interior of the turbine housing, and a rail frame guiding a rotational movement of a turbine rotor. The wind turbine not only allows airflow to move across and through the turbine wheel system but also allows airflow to be directed and exhausted to maximize and control energy generation. The wind turbine is able to efficiently convert wind power to electrical power via a turbine wheel system which allows for the load generated to be distributed across the circumference of the turbine wheel system instead of localized in the center as the traditional wind turbine.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer implemented verification method and corresponding system. An input device is configured to receive user identification information which is transmitted to a first remote device such as a server. The information may be biometric user information. The server verifies whether the user identified by the information is permitted to access a second remote device, which may be a portable computing device such as a tablet computer for example. If the user has been successfully verified, an output is sent from the first remote device to the input device to permit access to the second remote device. Preferably, the input device is paired with the portable computing device so that the input device serves as a key for unlocking the portable device. The input device may also need to be within proximity to the portable device in order for a wireless communication channel to be established.
