Abstract: An electronic device (such as a transponder or an aircraft that includes the transponder) is described. This electronic device may include: two omnidirectional antennas; and one or more integrated circuits (such as one or more radios) that transmit and receive RF signals. During operation, the electronic device may receive, using the omnidirectional antennas, broadcast information associated with a second electronic device (such as a second transponder or a second aircraft that includes the second transponder), where the broadcast information is compatible with a regulation from a government aviation or aviation safety administration (such as the Federal Aviation Administration). Then, the electronic device may validate the broadcast information using one or more of: time difference of arrival at the omnidirectional antennas; Doppler shift; or Doppler spread. Next, the electronic device may determine a track of the second electronic device based at least in part on the broadcast information.

Abstract: An electronic device is described. This electronic device may include a communication circuit (such as an integrated circuit) that combines an interrogator and a transponder. Notably, the communication circuit may dynamically and temporally interleave an interrogator or the transponder transmission with a transponder response to a second interrogator or the second transponder transmission associated with a second electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may include or may be selectively electrically coupled to at least an omnidirectional antenna that is used for bidirectional communication, such as: transmitting the interrogator or the transponder transmission (or message), receiving the second interrogator or the second transponder transmission (or message), and/or transmitting the transponder response to the second interrogator or the second transponder transmission.

Abstract: A system and method for volume rendering a light field, wherein the light field data is subjected to a layering scheme introducing a partitioning of the hogels into subsets. Each subset corresponding to a sub-volume of the layer volume, corresponds to the sub-region of the layer. Novel partitioning of the data combined with an efficient local memory caching technique, plenoptic downsampling strategies to reduce memory bandwidth requirements and volume rendering algorithm to produce a rendered light field image. A reduction in the total number of samples required can be obtained while still maintaining the quality of the resulting image. A method is also provided to order memory accesses aligned with ray calculations in order to maximize access coherency. Real-time layered scene decomposition can be combined with surface rendering method to create a hybrid real-time rendering method that supports rendering of scenes containing superimposed volumes and surfaces.

Abstract: A system and methods for a CODEC driving a real-time light field display for multi-dimensional video streaming, interactive gaming and other light field display applications is provided applying a layered scene decomposition strategy. Multi-dimensional scene data is divided into a plurality of data layers of increasing depths as the distance between a given layer and the display surface increases. Data layers which are sampled using an effective resolution function to determine a suitable sampling rate and rendered using hybrid rendering, such as perspective and oblique rendering, to encode light fields corresponding to each data layer. The resulting compressed, (layered) core representation of the multi-dimensional scene data is produced at predictable rates, reconstructed and merged at the light field display in real-time by applying view synthesis protocols, including edge adaptive interpolation, to reconstruct pixel arrays in stages (e.g. columns then rows) from reference elemental images.

Abstract: An electronic device is described. This electronic device may include: a first type of memory that stores a collision avoidance and detection data structure having a predefined size, a second type of memory, and a processor. For example, the first type of memory may include a volatile memory (such as flash memory), and the second type of memory may include a non-volatile memory (such as dynamic random access memory or DRAM). During operation, the electronic device may access, in the first type of memory, a subset of the collision avoidance and detection data structure based at least in part on current conditions, where the subset is less than the predefined size, and the current conditions include a position and speed of the electronic device. Then, the electronic device may load the subset from the first type of memory to the second type of memory.
