Abstract: A method for delivering sports telemetry for a curling game provides players, coaches, and viewers with the detailed dynamics of a curling stone. The method is generalized to at least one computerized sports equipment in communication with at least one remote server. A sensing module of the sports equipment captures and sends an angular-motion measurement and a linear-motion measurement to the remote server. Further, a tracking module of the sports equipment sends a precise location reading to the remote server. The angular-motion measurement, the linear-motion measurement, and the precise location reading are compiled into a sports telemetry data. Subsequently, the sports telemetry data assess a plurality of summarization metrics which promotes game awareness and interest. Further, the sports telemetry data also generates at least one equipment motion animation of play-by-play breakdown of the game. Finally, an online view platform allows the general public to access the sports telemetry data.

Abstract: Disclosed are onboard network systems for passenger aircrafts and methods of operating thereof. Specifically, an onboard network system is configured to handle various requests (e.g., communication, entertainment) from passenger devices during aircraft operation. Each request is first received at a cabin virtual router, which determines the security threat associated with this request and, if the security threat exceeds a security threshold, performs a corresponding security operation. In some examples, the cabin virtual router is configured to disable its operation entirely, e.g., if the security threat is high. In other examples, the cabin virtual router switches to a new operating system and/or throttles its operation. The cabin virtual router effectively isolates other components of the onboard network system (e.g., a flight deck) from potential threats associated with the passenger devices using this system.

Abstract: Improved switching techniques for controlling three-level current steering DAC cells are disclosed. The techniques include decoupling two current sources, implemented as field-effect transistors (FETs), of a DAC cell both from their respective bias sources and from a load for converting a zero digital input, where the decoupling is performed in a certain order. The techniques also include coupling the current sources to their respective bias sources and to the load for converting a non-zero digital input, where the coupling is also performed in a certain order. The certain order of decoupling and coupling the bias sources and the load to the current sources of a DAC cell are based on the phenomenon of current memory in FETs. Utilizing current memory when operating a DAC cell may allow reducing power consumption while preserving the high performance properties of a three-level current steering DAC.
