  • Patent number: 11836940
    Abstract: A computing device includes: a three-dimensional (3D) sensor configured to capture point cloud data from a field of view (FOV); an auxiliary sensor configured to capture reference depth measurements corresponding to a surface within the FOV; a controller connected with the 3D sensor and the auxiliary sensor, the controller configured to: detect a reference depth capture condition; when the reference depth capture condition satisfies a quality criterion, control the auxiliary sensor to capture a reference depth corresponding to the surface within the FOV; and initiate, based on the captured reference depth, generation of corrective data for use at the 3D sensor to capture the point cloud data.

  • Publication number: 20230334274
    Abstract: Example wearable devices having multiple distributed radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas are disclosed. A disclosed example wearable device includes a first RFID antenna; a second RFID antenna; a processor configured to activate one of the first RFID antenna or the second RFID antenna based upon at least one of an a or a type of an RFID object external to the wearable device; and a body, wherein the RFID radio, the first RFID antenna, and the second RFID antenna are disposed at respective positions along the body. The wearable device may include an RFID radio, wherein, when the wearable device is worn, the RFID radio and the processor are disposed at one or more fingers of a user's hand, the first RFID antenna is disposed at an upper side of the user's hand, and the second RFID antenna is disposed at a user's wrist.

  • Patent number: 11640066
    Abstract: A wearable computing device includes: a wearable housing; a display assembly supported by the housing and switchable between (i) an active configuration to occlude an optical path between an operator field of view and an exterior of the wearable computing device, and (ii) a fail-safe configuration to clear the optical path; and a mitigation subsystem including an actuator controllable to switch the display assembly from the active configuration to the fail-safe configuration in response to detection of a display failure condition.

  • Patent number: 7650522
    Abstract: A mobile computing device that dynamically and automatically manages all network adapters on the device to obtain the best and most effective balance of network connectivity and power consumption without requiring operator or user application intervention. Performance is increased by lowering power consumption (longer battery life) and decreasing transaction latencies, providing a device that has flexibility and ease of use. According to one aspect is a system that includes a data analysis component that monitors parameters associated with a device and a mobility policy manager component that provides balance of network connectivity and power consumption based at least in part upon the monitored stimuli.
