Patent number: 11575744Abstract: A method of controlling and coordinating of processing steps in a distributed system can be implemented by an initiator node of a cyclically-ordered set of nodes participating in a blockchain network (e.g., Bitcoin blockchain). The method includes generating a private key and cryptographic shares thereof for the nodes of the set and distributing them. A locking value is determined based on the shares and a transaction is arranged to transmit control of a resource responsive to supply of a corresponding unlocking value. A circuit of transactions amongst the nodes each arranged to transmit control of a resource responsive to supply of an unlocking value corresponding to a locking value determined based on the share distributed to a first node of one of two adjacent nodes and a value received from another node immediately previous to it is prepared. The initiator node may belong to a cyclically-ordered set of initiator nodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: nChain Licensing AGInventor: Daniel Joseph

Publication number: 20230037046Abstract: A display system includes a head-mounted display configured to project light, having different amounts of wavefront divergence, to an eye of a user to display virtual image content appearing to be disposed at different depth planes. The wavefront divergence may be changed in discrete steps, with the change in steps being triggered based upon whether the user is fixating on a particular depth plane. The display system may be calibrated for switching depth planes for a main user. Upon determining that a guest user is utilizing the system, rather than undergoing a full calibration, the display system may be configured to switch depth planes based on a rough determination of the virtual content that the user is looking at. The virtual content has an associated depth plane and the display system may be configured to switch to the depth plane of that virtual content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Samuel A.

Publication number: 20230036431Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting and compensating for highly reflective targets such as retroreflectors in a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system. In some embodiments, a bloom event (response) is detected in a detector output in response to the transmission and reflection of emitted light pulses against a target. A beam width of the emitted light pulses on the target is determined. The beam width is used to compensate at least a portion of the bloom response to obtain range information associated with the target. In this way, bloom compensation is provided without shutting down the capabilities of the LiDAR system in detecting the target causing the bloom, as well as in detecting other targets in the field of view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Daniel Joseph Klemme, Eric James Dahlberg

Patent number: 11565644Abstract: A passenger restraint system of a vehicle includes a passenger restraint article with an interface, and a locking device that secures the interface. In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a vertical channel that enables the locking device to travel up and down. The locking device may include a camera that enables the locking device to align with the interface, and once aligned, the locking device secures the interface. In additional or alternative embodiments, the locking device includes two C-bars and a biasing element that urges the locking device into an open position. When the passenger sits or leans against the opened C-bars, the force caused by the interface on the C-bars overcomes the force applied by the biasing element, urging the C-bars into a closed position. The locking device is then secured by engaging a locking bar that pushes against a surface of the C-bars.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Universal City Studios LLCInventors: Daniel Matthew Freedman, Ji Hyun Han, William Travis Faircloth, Michael Joseph Troise, Julia Ann Javorsky, Hannah Amelia Brush, Morgan Elizabeth Dickinson, Robert Henry Cybulski, III

Publication number: 20230021530Abstract: A timeline generation and solving tool is provided to parameterize a project at an application lifecycle management (“ALM”) tool, and generate and solve a timeline of features according to the parameterized project. The Scrum master may re-parameterize the project, causing a new timeline to be generated, solved, and visualized. In this fashion, the Scrum master may rapidly prototype many project parameterizations, resulting in many possible timelines. Without the use of a timeline generation and solving tool which interfaces with an ALM tool, retrieves project features, and converts project features to a common format suitable for computations based on working speeds, a Scrum master would need to generate and check a timeline by hand, and work indirectly by manually copying data out of the ALM tool, leading to a slow and potentially error-prone project roadmapping process which does not permit rapid prototyping of possible timelines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Wesley Mao, Stephen Richard Jones, Daniel Joseph Sanders, Milo Harper Skalicky, Ronald Patrick Allen, Sarah Lynn Richards, Kevin Michael Arnold

Publication number: 20230021576Abstract: Method and apparatus for enhancing resolution in a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system. In some embodiments, an emitter emits light in the form of multiplexed beams of randomized, multiple wavelengths across a field of view (FoV). A detector uses one or more detection channels to detect the multiplexed beams reflected from a target within the FoV to decode range information associated with the target. The multiplexed beams may be generated by multiple light sources such as laser diodes, or a single source such as a frequency comb device. Randomization may be applied via a pseudorandom bit sequence modulator, and multiplexing/demultiplexing may be performed using waveguides and micro-resonance rings (MRRs). The multiplexed beam may be emitted using an optical phase array (OPA) integrated circuit device to scan the FoV simultaneously using the different wavelengths. The range information can be used to adaptively adjust the wavelengths in a subsequent scan.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Daniel Joseph Klemme, Aditya Jain
