  • Upsampling content for head-mounted displays
    Patent number: 11218691
    Abstract: A system for content upsampling comprises a console and a head-mounted display (HMD). The console can select content for presentation and provide the content at a first frame rate. The HMD outputs fast calibration data comprising one or more intermediate estimated positions of a reference point on the HMD. The HMD estimates future positions of the HMD using the fast calibration data, and generates synthetic frames using frames from the content and the future positions of the HMD. The HMD then upsamples the content from the first frame rate to a second frame using the synthetic frames to generate augmented content, wherein the second frame rate is faster than the first frame rate. The HMD presents the augmented content at the second frame rate via an electronic display.

  • Antenna combiner
    Patent number: 10128931
    Abstract: An antenna combiner with transmission arbitration and method for using the same are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a plurality of antennas to receive signals from a satellite, each antenna in the plurality of antennas having a transmit aperture and a receive aperture, and wherein the receive aperture is operable to receive one of the signals from the satellite; a plurality of signal analyzers coupled to the plurality of antennas, each signal analyzer operable to determine signal quality of a distinct one antenna of the plurality of antennas; an arbiter coupled to the plurality of signal analyzers and operable to select one antenna of the plurality of antennas to transmit to the satellite based on results of determining the signal quality; and a first selector coupled to the arbiter and the plurality of antennas to cause data to be sent to the one antenna selected for transmission to the satellite.
