  • Publication number: 20250148207
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each widely-known word of a query to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the query. The method further includes determining another set of identigens for a remaining word to produce an alternate set of identigens. The method further includes selecting an identigen for each set of identigens to produce a query entigen group. The method further includes matching the query entigen group to a set of response entigens to produce a response entigen group as a query response.

  • Patent number: 12290729
    Abstract: A tracking system includes a host station and a sensor station. The sensor station includes transmitters transmitting an IR synchronous signal and IR laser signal. The system includes a head-mounted display and a tracked object, which has a plurality of object sensors. The tracked object determines its location and orientation relative to the sensor station based on the IR signals. The tracked object transmits the location and orientation to the host station. The host station determines an actual flight path of the tracked object during an object tracking event; generates a predicted flight path of the tracked object; and renders an image of a virtual object on a display of the head-mounted display. The image includes a virtual object corresponding to the tracked object, wherein the image is rendered in a VR environment such that the virtual object moves along the actual flight path and the predicted flight path.
