Abstract: A computing system captures markerless motion data of a user via a camera of the computing system. The computing system retargets the first plurality of points and the second plurality of points to a three-dimensional model of an avatar associated with the user, wherein the avatar is associated with an identity non-fungible token that uniquely represents the user across Web2 environments and Web3 environments, and wherein retargeting the first plurality of points and the second plurality of points animates the three-dimensional model of the avatar. The computing system renders a video local to the computing system, wherein the video comprises the markerless motion data of the user retargeted to the three-dimensional model of the avatar causing hands, face, and body of the avatar to be animated in real-time. The computing system causes a non-fungible token to be generated, the non-fungible token uniquely identifying ownership of the video.

Abstract: An attitude control system for a satellite is presented that can determine on time values for attitude control thrusters without use of attitude rate sensors, such as those based on gyros. The attitude control systems uses the attitude values from a star tracker to determine both attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values directly from the star tracker values, where the processing is performed using quaternions. From the attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values, a set of thruster on time values are determined.

Abstract: A cover for a driver's side airbag module is provided, the cover having a central body portion with an opening disposed therein, the central body portion having a predetermined tear seam for defining a pair of deployable doors, the predetermined tear seam extending through the opening. The cover also includes a horn switch assembly inserted into the opening; and a tether secured to the horn switch assembly, the tether retaining the horn switch assembly with the cover after deployment of the pair of deployable doors along the predetermined tear seam, wherein the horn switch assembly is dislodged from the opening when the pair of deployable doors deploy along the predetermined tear seam.

Abstract: A novel process of visual calibration of a computer display or the like in volves adjusting the appearance and relative appearance of targets and su targets displayed on the display. An objective method is provided for determining the precisely optimal brightness setting for CRT displays, which method is also applicable to the setting of the “Black Level” control on some FPDs. A precise method is provided to visually determine conformity of a display's tonality to a given standard tone curve, for example a gamma 1.8 curve, which is embodied in one of the preferred calibration target sets. The need to sense and therefore be able to control and to verify the correct gray balance of the entire tone scale of the display is met. The problem of verifying the similarity of the tone curve in the display profile and that of the actual calibration is solved.

Abstract: A small-gamut colorant set is a new system and mechanism for reproducing monochrome images on a wide range of color printing devices with an unprecedented combination of flexibility and quality. It is fundamentally unlike, and yet in certain ways similar to, both existing colorant systems for printing color images and existing colorant systems for printing monochrome images. It combines many advantages from both of these families of traditional colorant systems into a kind of system that is superior in many ways for printing monochrome images. It uses a set of at least three tinted gray colorants to create a color space within which a small amount of chroma adjustment and the full range of hue adjustment is possible. These three tinted grays may be accompanied by a black colorant, and/or other shades of gray, or a second set of three tinted grays, depending on the opportunities presented by the nature of the printing device.

Abstract: A mounting mechanism for an inflatable restraint system includes a spring housing having a spring cavity and a plurality of first apertures extending therethrough. The spring housing is adapted to be disposed adjacent and connected to a support structure and aligned with a plurality of second apertures extending through the support structure. The mounting mechanism also includes a spring disposed in the spring cavity and extending across the first apertures and adapted to retain a plurality of mounting members of an inflatable restraint module extending through the first apertures and the second apertures to the support structure. The spring includes at least one torsion coil to reduce a bending moment of the spring when deflected by the mounting members of the inflatable restraint module.

Abstract: A driver air bag module is provided that is attachable to the steering wheel of an automotive vehicle and includes dual cylindrical inflators mounted to a base plate to which an air cushion enclosing cover is attached. The inflators are retained in recesses defined between an inflator retainer and the base plate which provide means for directing gas from the inflators into the air cushion. The assembly utilizes relatively inexpensive cylindrical inflators which may be operated together for maximum pressure inflation of the air cushion or singly for a lesser pressure inflation where operation of the air cushion at a lower pressure is desired.

Abstract: An air bag module and steering wheel assembly includes an air bag module and a steering wheel. The air bag module includes a base plate and an air bag. At least one mounting member extends from the base plate and through the air bag to attach the air bag to the base plate. A cover has at least one vertically extending side wall including at least one cover slot in which the air bag and base plate are loosely seated therein while leaving the cover free for manual removal from the base plate. The air bag is trapped in the cover slot between side wall and the base plate. The steering wheel has a receiving area for receiving the module therein for attachment to the steering wheel. An upstanding capture plate forms a vertically extending wall generally surrounding the receiving area.

Abstract: An onboard star tracking system is used to provide continuous attitude data based on a fixed star catalog. An orbital position reference for the sensed star data is estimated from uploaded data. The attitude is calculated based solely on the star sensor data referenced to the estimated orbital position and compared to mission attitude to generate an attitude adjustment.

Abstract: An onboard star tracking system is used to provide continuous attitude and orbital position data independent of the image generating instruments. Such data is instantaneously and continually supplied to the onboard computer which translates such information into mirror position coordinates which is added to the mirror position set based on estimated data from the ground control. An error signal is generated which is used to further adjust the position of the mirror.

The need to sense and therefore be able to control and to verify the correct gray balance of the entire tone scale of the display is met. The problem of verifying the similarity of the tone curve in the display profile and that of the actual calibration is solved. By converting a preferred RGB gamma target into CIE Lab image data through an ideal display profile of the correct gamma, a new kind of target is taught.
