  • Patent number: 11106283
    Abstract: Motion detection computing devices may have difficulty determining precise motions of a user who suffers from unintended movement, such as tremors, associated with a physical or medical condition. Aspects described herein relate to motion compensation for detected motion input, e.g., 3D motion, from such users. As described herein, a system may detect the presence of rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics within captured motion input from a user. The system may determine one or more filters to apply to the captured motion input based on the rhythmic motion, other input characteristics, and/or information in a user profile. The one or more filters may be applied to the captured motion input in order to suppress or minimize the effects of the rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics thereby resulting in an enhanced user experience in an interactive system, such as a 3D, virtual and/or augmented reality environment.

  • Publication number: 20210194795
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing alternate content are disclosed. An example method can comprise determining a failure condition of a content stream. A channel identifier can be determined for the content stream, and alternate content streams associated with the channel identifier can be determined. The alternate content streams can be accessible via a different protocol, frequency, or network path than the content stream. For example, the alternate content streams can be accessible via a packet-switched network path instead a non-packet-switched network path used to access the content stream.

  • Publication number: 20210128869
    Abstract: Briefly summarized, embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for removing an occlusion from an indwelling catheter. The system can include a pressurized fluid conduit for delivering pressurized fluid to an occlusion site, and ablating the occlusion. A negative pressure source in fluid communication with the catheter lumen can then aspirate the occlusion. The positive pressure source can provide a pulsed pressurized fluid to facilitate ablation. The system can also include tip tracking and tip location systems to ensure the pressurized fluid conduit does not extend beyond the catheter lumen, causing damage to the vasculature. The system can further include an ultrasound transducer, coupled with one of the catheter and the pressurized fluid conduit to provide ultrasonic wave energy to the occlusion to further facilitate ablation thereof.

  • Patent number: 10997123
    Abstract: A highly programmable device, referred to generally as a data processing unit, having multiple processing units for processing streams of information, such as network packets or storage packets, is described. The data processing unit includes one or more specialized hardware accelerators configured to perform acceleration for various data-processing functions. This disclosure describes a hardware-based programmable data compression accelerator for the data processing unit including a pipeline for performing string substitution. The disclosed string substitution pipeline, referred to herein as a “search block,” is configured to perform string search and replacement functions to compress an input data stream. In some examples, the search block is a part of a compression process performed by the data compression accelerator. The search block may support single and multi-thread processing, and multiple levels of compression effort.

  • Publication number: 20210037207
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining an image resource allocation for displaying content within a display area. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to other objects in the space. The viewing distance between the user and the display area (e.g., the display device) may be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area. User movement, including eye movement, may also be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area.

  • Patent number: 10884314
    Abstract: A switchable reflective colour filter is provided for use in a display device. The switchable reflective colour filter includes a plurality of sub-pixel regions of at least two colour types, each including a layer of phase change material which is switchable between a first state and a second state, the first and second states being two solid but structurally distinct states having different optical properties. Each sub-pixel region further includes two electrode layers, a mirror layer, and a spacer layer or air gap. The phase change material layer in each sub-pixel region is positioned between the two electrode layers, and separated from the mirror layer by the spacer layer or air gap. The switchable reflective colour filter may be incorporated into a display device including a pixelated switchable absorber. A luminance of coloured light reflected from any of the sub-pixel regions is controllably attenuated by the pixelated switchable absorber.
