Abstract: A cloud-based extended reality (XR) system includes a server configured to encode a set of frames each associated with an XR scene to be displayed. To encode the set of frames, the server estimates a total number of encoded output bits for the set of frames based on a set of quantization parameters (QPs).

Abstract: A VTOL-type air vehicle is transitioned from forward speed mode to hover mode via a transient path in transition mode. The air vehicle includes first and second propulsion systems, and high lift, mild stall fixed wings. The first propulsion system can provide a first thrust (sufficient for enabling powered aerodynamic flight) at a first thrust vector.

The transient path includes, during transitioning, manipulating a first magnitude of angle of attack and a second magnitude of forward speed to provide a corresponding aerodynamic lift component, and concurrently manipulating a third magnitude of the second thrust to provide a vertical vectored thrust component corresponding to the first magnitude of angle of attack.

Abstract: Use of a muzzle velocity detector with a display allows for a rapid calculation of a second shot firing solution based on a first shot analysis. A doppler radar emitter and detector is located in a housing. The housing has a mount that allows it to be coupled to a hand guard on a rifle. This allows for the muzzle velocity to be detected very close to the end of the barrel. Information about the bullet can be preloaded into a ballistics calculator. The ballistics calculator can be integrated with the muzzle velocity detector or coupled wirelessly to it. The impact location of the first shot is identified and that “drift” is used with muzzle velocity and many other factors to quickly provide a compensation to be used with the sight to ensure the second shot is more accurate.
