  • Patent number: 12176833
    Abstract: The present invention is directed at a method for operating rotating machinery, such as an electric motor, by means of a variable speed drive (VSD). The variable speed drive is provided for identifying mechanical resonance points by means of a sensor and corresponding speeds of the machinery; storing the speeds at which the identified mechanical resonance points occur; and bypassing the speeds at which the identified mechanical resonance points occur during operation of the rotating machinery. The invention is also directed at a variable speed drive for performing said method.

  • Publication number: 20240144431
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a computing system may capture a first image of a scene using a first camera of an artificial reality device. The system may capture a second image of the scene using a second camera and one or more optical elements of the artificial reality device. The second image may include an overlapping portion of multiple shifted copies of the scene. The system may generate an upsampled first image by applying a particular sampling technique to the first image. The system may generate a tiled image comprising a plurality of repeated second images by applying a tiling process to the second image. The system may generate an initial output image by processing the upsampled first image and the tiled image using a machine learning model. The system may generate a final output image by normalizing the initial output image using the upsampled first image.

  • Publication number: 20240119609
    Abstract: A distributed imaging system for augmented reality devices is disclosed. The system includes a computing module in communication with a plurality of spatially distributed sensing devices. The computing module is configured to process input images from the sensing devices based on performing a local feature matching computation to generate corresponding first output images. The computing module is further configured to process the input images based on performing an optical flow correspondence computation to generate corresponding second output images. The computing module is further configured to computationally combine first and second output images to generate third output images.

  • Patent number: 11918006
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioactive sweet whey protein concentrate or composition for increasing e.g. cognitive functions particularly in young mammals such as pre-term or term infants, toddlers, children or young adults. The present invention further disclose a new concept for large-scale industrial production method of bioactive whey protein concentrates or compositions by use of mild heat treatment and pressure driven membrane separation.

  • Publication number: 20210406529
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a near eye display (NED) system for displaying artificial reality content to a user and to manipulate displayed content items based upon gestures performed by users of the NED system. A user of the NED system may perform a gesture simulating the throwing of an object to “cast” a content item to a target location in an artificial reality (AR) environment displayed by the NED system. The gesture may comprise a first portion in which the user's hand “grabs” or “pinches” a virtual object corresponding to the content item and moves backwards relative to their body, and a second portion in which the user's hand moves forwards relative to their body and releases the virtual object. The target location may be identified based upon a trajectory associated with the backwards motion of the first portion of the gesture.

  • Patent number: 10712901
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a near eye display (NED) system for displaying artificial reality content to a user. In some embodiments, multiple users may be in a local area, each using a different NED. A first user of a first NED may view virtual content using a first NED. The first NED may comprise an imaging device capable of capturing images of the local area, allowing the first NED to identify gestures performed by the first user and/or by other users in the local area. In some embodiments, the first NED may, in response to detecting one or more predetermined gestures performed by the first user, share virtual content displayed to the first user with a second user using a second NED, allowing the second user to view the virtual content through the second NED.
