Patent number: 11948536Abstract: A timing controller of a display set is integrated with an encoder for transport of analog signals between a display controller and source drivers of the display panel. The timing controller and integrated encoder are within an integrated circuit and are part of a chipset. The integrated circuit is located immediately after the SoC of a display set or is integrated within the SoC. A video signal sent to the timing controller chip is unpacked into sample values which are permuted into vectors of samples, one vector per encoder. Each vector is converted to analog, encoded and the analog levels are sent to the source drivers which decode into analog samples. Or, each digital vector is encoded and then converted to analog. A line buffer uses a memory to present a row of pixel information to the encoders. A mobile telephone has an integrated TCON with SSVT transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: HYPHY USA INC.Inventors: Eyal Friedman, Todd Rockoff

Patent number: 11914763Abstract: A system and method for conformal alignment of an aircraft-based head worn display (HWD) system defines far-field features in view of the HWD display, each far-field feature having a 3D truth position in a navigational reference frame. The aircraft GPS/IRS determines pointing vectors to each feature in the aircraft reference frame. The HWD user estimates a nominal head pose for orienting the far-field features in the HWD display, and the HWD system renders the far-field features based on the nominal head pose and pointing vectors. The rendered far-field features are aligned to their real-world 3D truth positions (either manually or with the assistance of witness cameras) and a latched pose of the HWD headtracker system determined based on a successful alignment within accuracy bounds. Based on the latched headtracker pose, the HWD headtracker alignment and the alignment of the HWD display reference frame to the aircraft reference frame are updated.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Rockwell Collins, Inc.Inventors: Christopher M.
