  • Patent number: 11012665
    Abstract: A bridging video conference room system and method provides for using a client device to leverage the conference room infrastructure to hold a video conference with remote users. A user may indicate an intent to host a video conference to a room-host device, which may then detect and parse a calendar invitation to cause the video conference software to launch on the user's client device as a host of the meeting. Other client devices may share content to the video conference by sharing to the bridging video conference room system without joining the video conference separately.

  • Patent number: 10983608
    Abstract: Systems and methods use a mobile device to position an annotation of displayed content on a shared display coupled with a host device. Sensor data, such as gyroscope and accelerometer data, from the mobile device may be transmitted to the host device and used to generate the annotation. The sensor data may be preprocessed to smooth and fit the data to a parametric curve or shape prior to or after display on the shared display. The user of the mobile device may interact with the mobile device to further start and stop the annotation, as well as denote to animate the annotation.

  • Publication number: 20210103203
    Abstract: This invention concerns a method of filming a subject to be projected as a Pepper's Ghost image. The method may comprise filming a subject under a lighting arrangement having one or more front lights for illuminating a front of a subject and one or more backlights. The lights may be controlled such that the total brightness of the one or more front lights, as measured of the subject, is less than or approximately the same as the total brightness of the one or more backlights, as measured at the subject. The subject may be located directly above one or more floor lights such the subject is illuminated from below by the one or more floor lights.

  • Publication number: 20210069574
    Abstract: Virtual and augmented reality sports training environments are disclosed. A user interacts with virtual players in a simulated environment of a virtual reality sporting event. In some embodiments, the user's actions and decisions are monitored by the simulated environment. The environment evaluates the user's performance, and provides performance feedback based on the user's decisions and timing. In one application, real life pitchers and their pitching data are tracked and replicated in a simulated pitching environment. A team of users may practice against a simulation of a pitcher they are about to compete against, swinging at pitches that they would see in a real game. Such environments may maximize effective practice time for users, and help develop better players with improved decision-making skills. Some embodiments include various pitch recognition training, which may be against replicated real-life pitchers.

  • Patent number: 10918500
    Abstract: A prosthetic arm apparatus including a plurality of segments that provide a user of the prosthetic arm apparatus with substantially the same movement capability and function as a human arm. The segments are connectable to one another and connectable to a prosthetic support apparatus that may be adorned by the user. A prosthetic limb segment includes a housing having an input interface and an output interface, the output interface and the input interface being moveable with respect to one another, a motorized drive disposed within the housing, the motorized drive effecting movement of at least one of the output interface or the input interface, and a controller disposed within the housing for controlling actuation of the motorized drive. The controller may be configured to communicate with at least a second motorized drive of at least a second prosthetic limb segment to control actuation thereof.

  • Patent number: 10867003
    Abstract: Forward-looking sales activities are poorly served by existing Customer Relationship Managements systems, as the customer information those systems maintain by definition does not include the speculatively interested “leads” pursued in initial sales contacts. An Enrichment database, asynchronously loaded with corporate and optionally individual contact information in anticipation of use, provides real-time access to information in support of such first customer contacts. The Enrichment information may also be used to expedite creation and revision of CRM records.

  • Patent number: 10812262
    Abstract: An initiator device and a target device may be configured to communicate with each other based on an anonymous key agreement procedure and an associated key agreement procedure. The anonymous key agreement procedure is performed for an initial communication session between the devices based on bonding identifiers (BIs) received in an attribute request/response. The BIs may be maintained by the devices to forego the anonymous key agreement procedure for subsequent communication sessions, where the devices may instead communicate based on an associated key agreement procedure. In cases where BIs are changed or lost by one of the devices, the associated key agreement procedure may not be performed and the anonymous key agreement procedure may be again attempted by the device. The other device is configured to determine that the anonymous key agreement procedure is being attempted and complete the anonymous key agreement procedure in an anonymous mode.
