Abstract: Many attempts at translating real-time events (e.g., sporting events) to augmented reality (AR)-based, extended or Data Processing Service and Technology Environment cross reality (XR)-based, or virtual reality (VR)-based experiences and environments rely upon mapping captured surface image data (such as video, pictures, etc.) of objects (e.g., balls, players, etc.) onto computer-modeled environments. This surface mapping results in imperfect and unsatisfactory virtual reality experiences for the viewer because the images and sounds do not perfectly correlate to the motion and states of the real-time objects and players. To solve this problem, and create an improved experience fo the virtual spectator, a more accurate and immersive virtual, extended, or aumented reality environment can be created by relying on data from a network system of sensors embedded throughout the real-time environment during the event in question.

Abstract: A portable navigation module and its method of operation are disclosed for seamlessly providing navigation and positioning information to a user. The module comprises: means, such as a GPS receiver, for receiving a first set of navigational information from an external source, such as satellites; and an inertial sensor unit for generating a second set of navigational information at the module. The navigational information is used by a processor programmed with a core algorithm, to identify the mode of conveyance algorithm and an orientation or misalignment algorithm. The algorithm utilizes the navigational information, aided by the mode of conveyance information and the orientation information, to produce a filtered navigation solution (which comprises position, velocity and attitude). The solution is suitably displayed, preferably on a detachable display unit.

Abstract: The proposed invention is a human powered cycle/vehicle which utilizes a reciprocating arcuate linear handlebar motion to operate a double acting asynchronous propulsion mechanism which imparts constantly proportional input versus output motion to its' surface engaging propulsion wheel(s). The propulsion mechanism contains a complex mechanism which causes both backward and forward motions of a set of handlebars to propel the machine forward. A drive-train clutch (52) may be included which enables the propulsion mechanism to be disengaged thus allowing the cycle/vehicle to be reversed and or moved (pushed) in either direction via its' surface engaging wheel(s) in isolation to the propulsion mechanism. A steering mechanism may also be attached to the handlebars (1) which are rotated clockwise to steer the machine to the right and anti-clockwise to steer the machine to the left.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a radionuclide includes a target chamber, a particle beam source operatively aligned with the target chamber, and a regenerative turbine pump for circulating a target fluid through the target chamber via first and second liquid transports. During bombardment of the target liquid in the target chamber by the particle beam source, the target liquid is prevented from reaching vaporization due to the elevated pressure within the target chamber and/or the rapid flow rate through the target chamber. A cooling system can be provided to circulate coolant to the first and second liquid transport conduits, the target chamber and the pump to ensure that the target liquid is cooled upon recirculation back into the target chamber.
