Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for synchronizing a frame rate of pass-through content from a camera and a display refresh rate. An example method can include obtaining first and second frames captured by an image capture device (which may be part of a device, such as an extended reality (XR) device). A display refresh rate of a display is greater than a camera frame rate of the image capture device. The method may determine motion between the first frame and the second frame. The method can include predicting, based on the second frame and the determined motion, a third frame corresponding to a time after the second frame. The method can include displaying content (e.g., mixed reality content) including the predicted third frame and virtual content rendered for the XR device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for motion estimation which may include a GPU. In one aspect, the GPU may generate at least one first motion vector in a first subset of a frame, the first motion vector providing a first motion estimation for image data in the first subset of the frame. The GPU may also perturb the image data. Also, the GPU may generate at least one second motion vector based on the perturbed image data, the second motion vector providing a second motion estimation for the image data. Moreover, the GPU may compare the first motion vector and the second motion vector. Further, the GPU may determine at least one third motion vector for the motion estimation of the image data based on the comparison between the first motion vector and the second motion vector.

Abstract: A deep vein intravenous introducer has a wheel located toward the front end of the device that can be rotated by the index finger of the user. After placement of the needle in the lumen of the vessel, the user rotates the wheel, which advances the wire guide through the center of the needle and into the patient. Once the guide wire is advanced into the vessel lumen the catheter can be advanced over the guide wire with a hub or finger tab on the catheter close to the index finger. The operation can be performed by one hand without moving the hand from its initial position. The user can then simultaneously use the other hand to operate an ultrasound detection device during insertion without the assistance of another person.
