Publication number: 20240029301Abstract: A method of efficiently and accurately computing a pose of an image with respect to other image information. The image may be acquired with a camera on a portable device and the other information may be a map, such that the computation of pose localizes the device relative to the map. Such a technique may be applied in a cross reality system to enable devices to efficiently and accurately access previously persisted maps. Localizing with respect to a map may enable multiple cross reality devices to render virtual content at locations specified in relation to those maps, providing an enhanced experience for uses of the system. The method may be used in other devices and for other purposes, such as for navigation of autonomous vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Lipu Zhou, Ashwin Swaminathan, Frank Thomas Steinbruecker, Daniel Esteban Koppel

Publication number: 20210358173Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a representation of an environment, for example, in an XR system, and any suitable computer vision and robotics applications. A representation of an environment may include one or more planar features. The representation of the environment may be provided by jointly optimizing plane parameters of the planar features and sensor poses that the planar features are observed at. The joint optimization may be based on a reduced matrix and a reduced residual vector in lieu of the Jacobian matrix and the original residual vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Lipu Zhou, Frank Thomas Steinbruecker, Ashwin Swaminathan, Hui Ju, Daniel Esteban Koppel, Konstantinos Zampogiannis, Pooja Piyush Mehta, Vinayram Balakumar

Patent number: 6467450Abstract: A radial Combustion motor is provided that includes a compression section, or a combustion section, or both. Each of the combustion section and the compression section includes a cylindrical rotor that rotates in a cylindrical chamber. An inner wall of each chamber includes multiple ridges such that a rotor, when positioned in the rotor's respective chamber, divides the chamber into multiple sub-chambers in conjunction with each of the multiple ridges. Each rotor includes multiple sealing blade slots that each extend the length of the rotor and that each slidably receive one of multiple sealing blades. Rotation of each rotor causes the sealing blades disposed in the sealing blades slots of the rotor to slide outward until an outer edge of each sealing blade slidably engages the inner wall of the associated chamber and to remain engaged with the inner wall for so long as the rotor rotates.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Paguer, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Esteban Arce

Patent number: 5043989Abstract: A terminal adapter for a telecommunication network having a receiver for multiple HDLC communication channels. The receiver includes a BCC calculator for computing and checking the validity of a received HDLC CNM frame. The terminal adapter further includes a device for detecting the reception of a specific CNM header included in a CNM frame on any of the HDLC communication channels and responsive to the detection for setting the BCC calculator to a predefined state. The latter state corresponds to the state of the BCC calculator after a computation of BCC for the specific CNM header. Therefore the BCC calculator can proceed with computation of said BCC for the CNM frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1989Date of Patent: August 27, 1991Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Philippe Dalmas, Daniel Esteban, Jean-Francois Le Pennec, Patrick Michel, Philippe Therias

Patent number: 4142071Abstract: A coding process, given a total number of available bits per unit time, allocates to each of a plurality of signal channels a number of bits proportional to information in the channel. The process is useful for transcoding BCPCM (Block Coded PCM) voice signals for lower bit rate and conserving transmission channel bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1978Date of Patent: February 27, 1979Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alain Croisier, Daniel Esteban, Claude Galand
