  • Patent number: 11963762
    Abstract: Applicators for applying an on-skin assembly to skin of a host and methods of their use and/or manufacture are provided. An applicator includes an insertion assembly configured to insert at least a portion of the on-skin assembly into the skin of the host, a housing configured to house the insertion assembly, the housing comprising an aperture through which the on-skin assembly can pass, an actuation member configured to, upon activation, cause the insertion assembly to insert at least the portion of the on-skin assembly into the skin of the host, and a sealing element configured to provide a sterile barrier and a vapor barrier between an internal environment of the housing and an external environment of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10157545
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for flight guidance of an aircraft or other aerial vehicle using one or more lenticular arrays. An aircraft control application may be employed to determine whether a location of an aircraft is within a predefined distance of a lenticular array that defines an optimal flight corridor. If the aircraft is at a location within the predefined distance, the aircraft control application may attempt to visually locate the lenticular array using an imaging device. A position of the aircraft relative to the optimal flight corridor may be determined based at least in part on a visual identifier identified in a digital image of the lenticular array. A flight of the aircraft may be controlled to follow a flight path falling within the optimal flight corridor based at least in part on the visual identifier.

  • Publication number: 20140340427
    Abstract: An image projection method for generating a panoramic image, the method including the steps of accessing images that were captured by a camera located at a source location, and each of the images being captured from a different angle of view, the source location being variable as a function of time, calibrating the images collectively to create a camera model that encodes orientation, optical distortion, and variable defects of the camera; matching overlapping areas of the images to generate calibrated image data, accessing a three-dimensional map, first projecting pixel coordinates of the calibrated image data into a three-dimensional space using the three-dimensional map to generate three-dimensional pixel data, and second projecting the three-dimensional pixel data to an azimuth-elevation coordinate system that is referenced from a fixed virtual to generate the panoramic image.
