  • Publication number: 20240086502
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of operating a device is provided. The method comprises operating a sensor to capture a data input, individuating an element of the data input, tagging an individuated element with metadata, matching the metadata with an associated permission set, and applying a restricting function defined in the associated permission set to the individuated element during a process flow to produce augmented reality output data restricted as required by the associated permission set. A device is also provided, comprising a sensor, an individuating component to individuate an element of sensor data from the sensor, a tagging component to tag the individuated element, a matching component to match a tag of the individuated element with a permission of a permission set, and a restricting function component to restrict an application's interaction with the individuated element.

  • Publication number: 20230223236
    Abstract: A method for pulsing is described. The method includes generating a first radio frequency (RF) signal, and pulsing a parameter of the first RF signal between a first parameter level and a second parameter level at a pulsing frequency during a cycle of a digital pulsed signal. The method further includes generating a second RF signal, and pulsing a parameter of the second RF signal at a higher pulsing frequency than the pulsing frequency of the parameter of the first RF signal during the cycle. During the cycle, a start time of pulsing the parameter of the first RF signal is synchronized with a start time of pulsing the parameter of the second RF signal and an end time of pulsing the parameter of the first RF signal is synchronized with an end time of pulsing the parameter of the second RF signal.
