  • Publication number: 20240112429
    Abstract: A method of providing an interactive personal mobility system, performed by one or more processors, comprises determining an initial pose by visual-inertial odometry performed on images and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data generated by a wearable augmented reality device. Sensor data transmitted from a personal mobility system is received, and sensor fusion is performed on the data received from the personal mobility system to provide an updated pose. Augmented reality effects are displayed on the wearable augmented reality device based on the updated pose.

  • Publication number: 20240114318
    Abstract: Techniques for adjusting the strengths of signals received from a transmitter based on the transmitter's likely location are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving, by one or more processors, location information corresponding to one or more respective areas expected to be visited by an individual; receiving, by the one or more processors, measurements indicative of signal strengths of one or more signals transmitted by a transmitter associated with the individual and received by one or more receivers configured to receive one or more signals transmitted by the transmitter, the one or more receivers being positioned at respective receiver locations corresponding to one or more respective areas; and adjusting, by the one or more processors, the received measurements indicative of the signal strengths of the one or more signals transmitted by the transmitter based on the one or more respective areas expected to be visited by the individual.

  • Patent number: 11942217
    Abstract: A system including a range of motion, quality of sleep, overall, and control modules. The range of motion module, prior to a procedure being performed on a patient, determines a first range of motion score of the patient based on a first signal generated by a sensor. The quality of sleep module, prior to the procedure being performed on the patient, determines a first quality of sleep score or a first pain score based on the first signal. The overall module determines a combined score based on the first range of motion score and the first quality of sleep score or the first pain score. The control module compares the combined score to a predetermined threshold and predicts an outcome of the procedure based on the comparison. The control module, based on the combined score, determines whether to perform the procedure, adjust the procedure or refrain from performing the procedure.

  • Patent number: 11911611
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for measuring an impedance of one or more target cells before and after an electroporation protocol has been applied to the one or more target cells. The result of the impedance measurement provides a feedback control that can be implemented during and/or after the electroporation protocol to customize the electrical treatment for a particular target cell or cellular tissue.

  • Patent number: 6006465
    Abstract: A soft-bodied crank-bait lure comprising a rigid interior skeleton and a rubbery body molded or formed thereover, where the skeleton includes: a first channel extending downward and rearward from the anterior end of the lure; and a second channel extending downward and forward from the posterior end of the lure. The rearward opening of the first channel is spaced from and substantially faces the forward opening of the second channel, and the first channel and the second channel are angled with respect to each other. Fishing line or leader line is threaded through the first channel and then through second channel, and the hooks are coupled to the line rather than to the skeleton or to the rubbery body. Therefore, the lure will "free-flow" on the line, so that when a fish strikes the lure and becomes hooked, the lure will slide away from the fish.

  • Patent number: PP9888
    Abstract: A hybrid bermudagrass cultivar, named Champion Dwarf, is distinguished by high rate and density of lateral stem development, low vertical growth characteristic, high density, fine leaf width, and lack of seedhead development. The cultivar is especially suited to golf greens.
