  • Patent number: 11954811
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) platform supports concurrent operation of multiple AR applications developed by third-party software developers. The AR platform may include an application programming interface (API) that third-party software developers can use to integrate features of the AR platform into the overall user experience of their AR applications. The AR platform includes a feature set having a variety of AR-specific features that interact with and are accessible to the AR applications or AR layers that define a collection of AR content.

  • Patent number: 4349827
    Abstract: A radio frequency antenna having a parabolic reflecting surface and an array of feeds disposed adjacent the focal point of the parabolic reflecting surface, such feeds providing a predetermined amplitude and phase distribution to radio frequency signals passing to such feeds, each one of such feeds passing such energy in the same propagation mode. The energy passing through each one of the feeds is reflected from the reflecting surface and combines at the radiating aperture to provide, in free space, an antenna pattern having relatively low sidelobes over a relatively wide band of frequencies. The array of feeds includes a waveguide section having opposing outer wall portions and a plurality of conductive members disposed between the opposing outer wall portions to provide, with the outer wall portions, a plurality of channels.

  • Patent number: 4348678
    Abstract: A radio frequency energy antenna system for directing a collimated beam of radio frequency energy in free space over relatively wide scan angles. The antenna system includes a plurality of antenna elements disposed along a curved path for producing a directed, noncollimated beam of radio frequency energy and a radio frequency lens disposed between the antenna elements and free space for collimating the radio frequency energy in the directed, noncollimated beam to produce the collimated beam of radio frequency energy in free space. The arrangement of the antenna elements along a curved path produces an amplitude distribution across the collimated beam wavefront which is substantially uniform. A second radio frequency lens has a plurality of array ports coupled to the plurality of antenna elements and a plurality of feed ports, each one being associated with a corresponding collimated beam of radio frequency energy in free space. With such lens the antenna has a relatively wide operating bandwidth.
