Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving user experience in a video game. In some embodiments, the techniques utilize one or more snapshots of the video game over time to adjust a pose of a user's input device in the video game. For example, the user's input device may be a spatially tracked controller which has a tracked pose in the video game. A user input may indicate a button pressed on the spatially tracked controller (e.g., triggering firing of a shot in the video game). In some embodiments, the techniques use the snapshot(s) of the video game that capture instances prior to the user input to adjust a pose of the user input device in the video game to provide an improved user experience.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address improved systems and methods for rebuffering an integrated circuit (IC) design using a unified improvement scoring algorithm. A plurality of rebuffering candidates are generated based on an initial buffer tree in an integrated circuit (IC) design. A rebuffering candidate in the plurality of rebuffering candidates comprises a modified buffer tree based on the initial buffer tree. A buffering cost of each rebuffering candidate is determined. A reference buffer tree is selected from among the rebuffering candidates based on the buffering cost of each rebuffering candidate. An improvement score of each rebuffering candidate is determined based on the buffering cost of each rebuffering candidate relative to the reference buffer tree. A new buffer tree is selected from among the plurality of rebuffering candidates to replace the initial buffer tree based on the improvement score of each rebuffering candidate.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining the shortest RF path in a multi-path environment. In an aspect a signal is transmitted by a transmitter. Multiple copies of the signal are received by a multi-directional receiver based on antenna elements that have a unique antenna pattern for each copy of the signal and where the copies are phase correlated and time synchronized. The copies are deconstructed into components of the reflected and line-of-sight waves of the transmitted signal. The shortest path is selected from among the reflected and line-of-sight waves using the deconstruction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lead insertion tool for inserting a lead connector end of an implantable lead into a lead receptacle of a header of an implantable pulse generator, the implantable lead including a lead body extending distally from the lead connector end.
