Abstract: A method of operation of a head mountable display (HMD) system, in which stereoscopic images are displayed with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position, is provided. The method includes setting a VDS position for a stereoscopic image for display in response to a depth parameter of a region of interest (ROI) in respect of the stereoscopic image for display. The method also includes generating the stereoscopic image for display having an image parallax appropriate to the VDS position set by the setting step.

Abstract: A collapsible and expandable stent extends in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The stent may include a plurality of first cells, each first cell having an open space defined by a first plurality of struts. The stent may further include a second cell nested in the open space of one of the first cells, the second cell being defined by a second plurality of struts. The stent may additionally include first and second connecting struts connecting the second cell to the one first cell. The second cell may be configured to pivot about the first and second connecting struts with respect to the one first cell. The pivoting may create a clearance space between the second cell and an outer perimeter of the stent in which portions of a native valve structure may be clamped.

Abstract: A processing system adapted for use in a gaming environment is configured to detect when a user might accidentally drop an input device, such as a handheld game controller. The processing system includes an input device, a processing unit and a warning unit. The input device has one or more pressure sensors operable to sense pressure inputs from a user. The processing unit is operable to identify an imminent dropping of the input device from measurements obtained by the pressure sensors. And the warning unit is operable to provide a warning to the user when the processing unit identifies an imminent drop of the input device.

Abstract: A position and rotation information acquisition unit 730 acquires information relating to a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit 100. A coordinate transformation unit 740 and a panorama image processing unit 750 generate an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit using the information relating to the position and the rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the position and rotation information acquisition unit 730. A correction processing unit 780 corrects the generated image using updated information relating to the position and the rotation at a different point of time.

Abstract: A head mountable display (HMD) system in which the size and/or distance from the viewer of a virtual screen for display of video material depends upon one or more of the following: whether the video material is in a 2-D or a 3-D format; the image resolution of the video material; the compression quality and/or data rate of the video material; the aspect ratio of the video material; the origin of the video material; and metadata associated with the video material.

Abstract: A collapsible and expandable stent (320) extends in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The stent may include a plurality of first cells (324), each first cell having an open space defined by a first plurality of struts (322). The stent may further include a second cell (330) nested in the open space of one of the first cells, the second cell being defined by a second plurality of struts (330a-d). The stent may additionally include first and second connecting struts (332, 334) connecting the second cell to the one first cell. The second cell may be configured to pivot about the first and second connecting struts with respect to the one first cell. The pivoting may create a clearance space between the second cell and an outer perimeter of the stent in which portions of a native valve structure may be clamped.

Abstract: A head mountable display (HMD) is provided that has a head motion detection function and one or more operations that depend upon detected head motion. Detected head motion is stored as motion data in memory. The way in which detected head motion is applied to a current operation depends upon the stored motion data. In one embodiment, the HMD includes a gaze detector configured to detect eye orientation of a user of the user so as to detect image regions at which the user is looking, and a detector configured to detect item data indicative of items represented by the detected image regions.

Abstract: A display method is provided using a display that is operable to display an image to a viewer. The display method includes detecting one or both of an initial position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and generating an image for display according to the detected position and/or orientation. A current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head are detected at a time at which the image is to be displayed. The method also includes re-projecting the generated image according to any differences between the initial position and/or orientation and the current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and displaying the re-projected image using the display.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing virtual workspaces are provided. Example embodiments provide a Application Workspace System “AWS,” which enables users to access remote server-based applications (e.g., thin client applications, terminal server applications, applications on hosted operating systems, etc.) using the same interface that they use to access local applications, without needing to know where the application is being accessed. The AWS automatically determines which applications the user is entitled to use, and then figures out automatically, based upon a variety of parameters, which applications are to be made available to the user (resolved to version, particular package etc.), and whether they are to be installed locally, or accessed remotely. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A technology is described for prioritizing DNS name resolutions requests received from DNS resolvers. An example method may include receiving a DNS name resolution request addressed to a DNS name server from a DNS resolver. The DNS resolver associated with the DNS name resolution request may be identified as a known DNS resolver or an unknown DNS resolver, where a known DNS resolver may have DNS resolver characteristics that correspond to a valid DNS resolver. The DNS name resolution request may be prioritized according to the identity of the DNS resolver as a known DNS resolver or an unknown DNS resolver. The DNS name resolution request may then be provided to the DNS name server according to the priority assigned to the DNS name resolution request.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes a collapsible stent extending from an inflow end to an outflow end, and a cuff having an inflow end an outflow end. The stent includes first and second circumferential rows of cells defined by first and second pluralities of struts, respectively. The second circumferential row is positioned closer to the outflow end of the stent than the first circumferential row. At least one cell in the second circumferential row includes by a first strut opposed to a fourth strut and a second strut opposed to a third strut. A bridging feature in at least one cell in the second circumferential row includes first and second supplemental struts extending across an intermediate portion of the cell. The outflow end of the cuff is coupled to the stent along the bridging feature.

Abstract: An image processing method includes capturing an image of the head of a user of a head mountable display device. The position of the head mountable display device is detected in the image captured by a camera. A region of the user's face that is occluded by the head mountable display device is identified. The portion of the captured image corresponding to the head mountable display device is at least partially replaced with a corresponding portion of a 3D facial model, to provide a modified version of the captured image.

Abstract: Technology is described for establishing and transferring transmission control protocol (TCP) connections. A connection may be established when an acknowledgement (ACK) packet is received from the client. A connection handoff packet may be generated that includes connection parameters that describe the connection with the client. The connection handoff packet may be sent to a destination host to enable the destination host to take over the connection with the client based on the connection parameters in the SYN cookie.
