Abstract: Realistic augmented reality (AR) augmentations are produced in reliance on a 3D virtual model modeled after a real world environment. Light and shadow parameters for the augmentations are produced not only from real world parameters such as, for example, a real present position of the actual sun, but also from virtual world parameters which characterize the virtual model or virtual objects within the virtual model.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating, modifying, and updating virtual models based on user instructions and a user's relationship with surroundings.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for providing augmented realities including trails or paths for navigating a real world space. Methods, devices, and systems are also disclosed for providing augmented realities for other forms of navigation guidance or tracking assistance.

Abstract: Images and/or videos have associated therewith information like location and orientation information for the camera used to captured the images/videos. The associated location and orientation (or pose) information facilitates subsequent processing for producing accurate and convincing augmented reality (AR) outputs. In addition, some embodiments associate user-specific information with images or videos for producing customized AR content on a user-to-user basis.

Abstract: AR engines modify a picture or video of the real world to include more than simply real world content. The modified image/frame content is passed along to one or multiple downstream AR engines which treat the content as original input. Modifications to images/frames may include the addition of virtual markers. Virtual markers may be visual content of virtual origin that is added to an image or frame. A virtual marker may trigger a predetermined reaction from a downstream AR engine when that downstream AR engine processes the modified content. For example, a virtual marker added to an image by an upstream AR engine may trigger a downstream AR engine to output a particular augmentation. The virtual marker may have a known meaning to both the upstream AR engine and the downstream AR engine. Accordingly, there may be “collaboration” among AR engines and a reduction in the processing requirements of downstream and overall image processing.

Abstract: Augmented reality systems and methods are disclosed which provide for representing imperceptible aspects of telecommunications networks as visual, auditory, tactile, or audiovisual stimuli. In some embodiments, the representation is a type of augmented reality from the perspective of a user on the ground, such as a technician deployed in the field.

Abstract: A cloud-based platform is provided offering large-scale and dynamic data analysis, processing, and exchange for telecommunications network design and deployment. It is configured to accommodate local, regional, and nationwide network planning and management needs. Information relevant to the network and individual design projects is organized with respect to a shared timeline that is shared with all project teams. All on-going and committed planned projects related to network performance are tracked on the shared timeline, with predicted network performance continually and automatically updated at regular intervals.

Abstract: A camera's field of view is determined using image data and motion sensor data. Accurate augmented reality representations are provided based on the determined field of view in an absence of a priori knowledge of the camera's field of view.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for providing alternate reality (e.g., virtual reality) representations to users. Exemplary methods employ data collections (e.g., stacks) which affect the virtual representations of baseline virtual models. Data collections contain layers which contain deltas. The deltas specify modifications to the baseline virtual reality world or model. The deltas may be geocoded, while the layers that contain them may not be geocoded. Separately selectable layers are used to temporarily modify or substitute baseline data or virtual elements (e.g., virtual objects) that are ultimately presented to a user on an output device. Conflict resolution algorithms harmonize conflicts between layers of a collection.

Abstract: Augmented reality augmentations are selected or modified based on accuracy or confidence information concerning locations and orientations.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed which provide modification, editing, or extension of augmented reality and virtual reality representations of real world spaces using elevation information obtained from image processing of real world images.

Abstract: A fuel cell assembly in which one or more dual cell modules is created by “sandwiching” a first reactant chamber between two electrolyte assemblies and enclosing the result within a surrounding vessel containing the second reactant. Each dual cell module thereby contains two operating electrolyte assemblies. In such a configuration separate electrical conductors must be provided to create the proper connections. In order to avoid the resistance losses inherent in the use of edge connections, the present invention preferably includes conductors that actually pass through the electrolytes. These conductors are contained within an assembly that electrically insulates the conductor where needed and provides a gas-tight seal where needed.

Abstract: A stadium and arena seating system is provided which preferably utilizes pre-cast concrete tread surfaces and metallic or other non-concrete vertical risers therebetween. The pre-cast concrete treads have non-concrete front embeds embedded within the front of the treads respectively, and an integrally formed upwardly extending concrete lip portion for shedding water from the upper adjacent riser that eliminates the need for a non-concrete rear embed. The front embeds may comprise a metallic or other non-concrete material similar to the vertical risers. The vertical risers are arranged in a shingled fashion overlapping the upwardly extending concrete lip portion of the treads to provide water and debris shedding. In a further aspect, the upwardly extending concrete lip portion may optionally be formed with a plurality of pre-formed mounting holes through which fasteners for fastening a lower portion of the riser may be received.

Abstract: A cooler having a unitary construction including a channel portion including a plurality of fins on a base, the plurality of fins defining a plurality of microchannels therebetween, a tapered opening formed in a set of the plurality of fins, a manifold portion disposed on an edge portion of the base, the manifold portion including an inlet port and an outlet port disposed above the tapered opening in the plurality of fins, and a separator sheet including at least two elongated openings disposed between the channel portion and the manifold portion.
