  • Patent number: 12634291
    Abstract: A computing platform may generate a schema to prompt for user access information, wherein the user access information includes: 1) a set of authorized users and 2) one or more portions of an information source to which the set of authorized users have access. The computing platform may send, to a first user device, the schema. The computing platform may receive, from the first user device, the user access information. The computing platform may translate the user access information to structured user information, which may include translating the user access information from a first format into a second format. The computing platform may send, to a second user device corresponding to one of the set of authorized users, the structured user information.

  • Patent number: 11633664
    Abstract: A game system includes a mode switching unit switching a play mode between a one-player play mode and a two-player play mode, on the basis of at least one of first operation data from a left controller and second operation data from a right controller, and a control unit controlling a player character and a sub-player character in a virtual space. In the one-player play mode, the control unit switches an operation target between the player character and the sub-player character is set as an operation target, on the basis of the first operation data and the second operation data, and in the two-player play mode, the control unit controls the player character on the basis of the first operation data and controls the sub-player character on the basis of the second operation data.

  • Publication number: 20230100182
    Abstract: A radar measurement method includes aligning a radar antenna with a test target by comparing a pre-defined reference image of the test target with an image capture device image of the test target and moving a radar antenna that illuminates the test target to a radar antenna position relative to the test target based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20220383764
    Abstract: A system and method provide improved remote turbulence measurement. The system includes an image capturing device that captures time-lapse images of a distant target anywhere from a km to more than a 100 km away. A processor of the system tracks relative motion due to atmospheric turbulence of some number of patches of definite size on each of these images using a subpixel accurate correlation technique. The processor computes differential tilt variances between every pair of patches from the image collection and evaluates the theoretical weighting functions between turbulence along the path and differential tilt variances. The processor determines weights to linearly combine the weighting functions such that the combined weighting function closely resembles the weighting function corresponding to a turbulence parameter of interest. The processor then combines the differential tilt variances using the determined weights to obtain the desired turbulence parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210125348
    Abstract: A system and method provide improved remote turbulence measurement. The system includes an image capturing device that captures frames of images of a target. A controller of the system tracks motion of one or more features of the images between frames using a pattern recognition algorithm. The controller computes subpixel motion based on results of the pattern recognition algorithm and computes differential motion or tilts between pairs of features. The controller computes differential tilt variances from every set of frames. The controller computes theoretical weighting functions for differential tilt variances. The controller determines weights to linearly combine weighting functions such that the combined weighting function closely resembles a desired weighting function that corresponds to the turbulence parameter of interest. The controller linearly combines the differential tilt variances using the determined weights to obtain the turbulence parameter of interest.

  • Patent number: 10924256
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for enabling improved cancellation of self-interference in full-duplex communications, or the transmitting and receiving of communications in a single frequency band without requiring time, frequency, or code divisions. The system estimates the signal strength and phase of a self-interference signal, generates a cancellation signal based on this estimate, then uses the cancellation signal to suppress the self-interference before sampling received analog signal. After applying the cancellation signal, the system samples and digitizes the remaining analog signal. The digitized signal is then subjected to additional digital cancellation, allowing for extraction of the desired signal.

  • Patent number: 9519065
    Abstract: A method for determining geolocation of a mobile device, and a system for performing the method. The mobile device includes a location component, a local positioning component, and a reference positioning component. The method includes determining a local-positioning period based on an identified factor, and obtaining a location fix for the device from the reference positioning component. The method further includes commencing the period and measuring movement using the location component. The method also includes determining a present location of the device, using the location component, based on the location fix and the movement data and, during the period, repeating the measuring and determining steps. The method further includes, after the period expires, updating the location fix with a new location fix from the reference positioning component, resetting the local-positioning period; and repeating the steps for determining location during the reset period using the new location fix.
