Abstract: Methods for generating and displaying images associated with one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment at a frame rate that is greater than a rendering frame rate are described. The rendering frame rate may correspond with the minimum time to render images associated with a pose of a head-mounted display device (HMD). In some embodiments, the HMD may determine a predicted pose associated with a future position and orientation of the HMD, generate a pre-rendered image based on the predicted pose, determine an updated pose associated with the HMD subsequent to generating the pre-rendered image, generate an updated image based on the updated pose and the pre-rendered image, and display the updated image on the HMD. The updated image may be generated via a homographic transformation and/or a pixel offset adjustment of the pre-rendered image.

Abstract: A system and related methods for near-eye display of an image are provided. In one example, a near-eye display system includes a light source comprising a surface and a plurality of pixels having a pixel pitch of 5 microns or less. An aperture array is located between 2 mm and 5 mm from the surface of the light source. The aperture array comprises non-overlapping apertures that are each centered on a vertex of an equilateral triangle within a grid of equilateral triangles. The center of each aperture is spaced from the center of each adjacent aperture by an aperture spacing of between 1 mm and 9 mm. The aperture array selectively passes the light emitted from the pixels to display the image without a double image condition.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for fusing virtual content with real content to provide a mixed reality experience for one or more users. The system includes a mobile display device communicating with a hub computing system. In examples, the mobile display device includes a color sequential display for displaying an image over a number of color channels. Image data on respective color channels may be adjusted based on a predicted position of the mobile display device at a time the sequential color display projects the image.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for interacting with virtual objects in a virtual environment using an accessory such as a hand held object. The virtual object may be viewed using a display device. The display device and hand held object may cooperate to determine a scene map of the virtual environment, the display device and hand held object being registered in the scene map.

Abstract: A method and system that enhances a user's experience when using a near eye display device, such as a see-through display device or a head mounted display device is provided. An optimized image for display relative to the a field of view of a user in a scene is created. The user's head and eye position and movement are tracked to determine a focal region for the user. A portion of the optimized image is coupled to the user's focal region in the current position of the eyes, a next position of the head and eyes predicted, and a portion of the optimized image coupled to the user's focal region in the next position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods as well as to nucleotide sequences used in these methods for prognosis and/or diagnosis of diseases associated with at least one of the polymorphisms Nod2-SNP8, Nod2-SNP12, Nod2-SNP13 in the NOD2/CARD15 gene.

Abstract: In a method for testing the thermally induced unbalance of a rotating machine part, in particular the rotor of a turbogenerator, the rotating machine part or the rotor balanced at normal temperature is brought in the demounted state first to nominal rotational speed and held at this, while its temperature is varied and, at the same time, the transient variations in oscillations of the rotating machine part or rotor which are caused are measured. During the test, the rotating machine part or the rotor is surrounded at least partially by a closed heating cell, a cooling medium flows around and/or flows through the rotating machine part or the rotor in the heating cell, and the heating of the rotating machine part or of the rotor takes place essentially due to the flow-dynamic losses arising from the interaction of the rotating machine part or of the rotor with the circulating cooling medium.

Abstract: A rotor for a generator, in particular a high-power turbogenerator, has slots, which run axially in a rotor body and have conductor bars inserted in them, which are supported radially in the slots by means of wedges and are in each case electrically connected to one another at the ends of the rotor body in a rotor end winding. The rotor end windings are each covered by a rotor cap which is pushed over the end of the rotor body, and an electrically insulating covering channel is arranged in each of the slots between the uppermost conductor bar and the wedge and is connected outside the rotor body to a cap insulation, which is arranged between the rotor end winding and the rotor cap. The covering channels are formed with axially stepped ends at the ends of the rotor body.

Abstract: A method for production of a breathable roofing underlayment comprising a sheetlike carrier (1), for example a base nonwoven, which by a membrane (2) applied to the carrier (1) is airflow—and water—tight yet pervious to water vapour, wherein the membrane is a hotmelt adhesive film (2) applied hot directly to the carrier (1), the method comprising the steps of applying continuously to a carrier structure, for example a base nonwoven (1), a membrane (2), wherein the carrier (1) has directly applied thereto a slot-extruded film (2) of a hotmelt adhesive.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing a large-caliber ammunition unit including a combustible or partially combustible propelling charge casing and compacted or partially compacted propelling charge powder, to increase internal ballistic performance. It is known to partially or completely compact or compress the propelling charge powder in a cartridge casing. However, such methods generally cannot be employed for ammunition including a combustible or at least partially combustible propelling charge casing because of the lower strength of the relatively thin-walled combustible casing material, as this would lead to deformation and/or to reduced loadability of such cartridges.

Abstract: A propellant charge and method of manufacture thereof by which the increase in maximum gas pressure within the upper use temperature range which occurs upon firing can be influenced until eliminated. The propellant charge is manufactured by compacting a first portion of the propellant charge which corresponds to between 50-80% of the total mass of the propellant charge, and then adding the balance of the propellant charge as loose powder on top of the first portion.
