Patent number: 11960488Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to performing a join operation with bitmap indexes of virtual data sources (VDSs). A distributed compute cluster having a set of compute nodes may maintain a plurality of VDSs based on a set of corresponding origins. A given VDS of the plurality of VDSs may include a bitmap index representative of a portion of data stored at the set of origins. The distributed compute cluster may receive a request for data stored across at least first and second bitmap indexes of the plurality of VDSs. The distributed compute cluster may perform a join operation to generate a join result having data from the first and second bitmap indexes. The distributed compute cluster may return a response that includes the join result.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Molecula Corp.Inventors: Peter Seebach, Matthew Jaffee, Travis Turner

Patent number: 11947739Abstract: Method, apparatus, and systems for roll angle estimation for an input/gesture device (IGD) are disclosed. The method includes estimating a first axis vector of the input/gesture device (IGD) relative to the surface of the mobile device (MD), as a first frame of reference, using readings from a first type of sensor; and estimating the first axis vector of the IDG relative to a different, second frame of reference using a gyroscope integration of readings from the 3-axis gyroscope. The method further includes aligning the first axis vector of the IDG in the first frame of reference with the first axis vector of the IDG in the second frame of reference; minimizing a change in the alignment of the first axis vectors between the first frame of reference and the second frame of reference; and determining the roll angle of the IDG relative to the surface of the MD.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CEVA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Seth Sternberg, Steven Francz, Stephen Scheirey, Chad Lucien, Friedrich Geck, Peter Christopher Wood, Bryan A.

Patent number: 11497995Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a shared augmented reality environment are provided. In particular, the latency of communication is reduced by using a peer-to-peer protocol to determine where to send datagrams. Datagrams describe actions that occur within the shared augmented reality environment, and the processing of datagrams is split between an intermediary node of a communications network (e.g., a cell tower) and a server. As a result, the intermediary node may provide updates to a local state of a client device when a datagram is labelled peer-to-peer, and otherwise provides updates to the master state on the server. This may reduce the latency of communication and allow users of the location-based parallel reality game to see actions occur more quickly in the shared augmented reality environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Niantic, Inc.Inventors: Peter Turner, Jaime Ivan Cervantes, Si ying Diana Hu
