  • Publication number: 20180018792
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying augmented reality (AR) content are disclosed. The AR device may include a display configured to display real-world content overlaid with AR content and at least one sensor configured to provide an output indicative of an orientation, location, or motion of the AR device. The system may also include a processor device configured to: cause the AR content to be shown on the display at an initial location on the display; determine a change in orientation of the AR device based on the output of the at least one sensor; and change a position of the AR content on the display to a second location on the display, wherein the change in position of the AR content from the initial location to the second location is related to the determined change in orientation of the AR device.

  • Patent number: 9542261
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for a multi-packet CRC engine are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for a multi-packet CRC engine. The system includes an input module for receiving set of bits associated with at least one data packet and identifying packet boundaries within the plurality of bits, multiple CRC pre-calculation blocks (CPBs) that receive from the input module subsets of the set of bits, each subset containing a portion of a packet less than all of a packet, and calculate a CRC value for its respective subset of bits, and an output module for receiving the calculated CRC values from the CPBs and using the calculated CRC values to produce packet-specific CRC values, where the output module is dynamically configurable to combine the calculated CRC values according to the identified packet boundaries to produce packet-specific CRC values.

  • Patent number: 9186256
    Abstract: Wrists implants and methods are disclosed. A wrist implant can advantageously allow motion with respect to a reconstructed wrist to more closely resemble natural motion. For example, in one aspect, motion can include movement in more than one direction to allow for flexion/extension, rotational, and translational movement. The wrist implant can include a radial implant component and/or a carpal implant component with a bearing component or member disposed therebetween. The radial implant can have a radial articulation surface having at least one variable radius of curvature and/or a tray having a variable width.
