  • Patent number: 12026420
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving the utilization of an extended display system. Some aspects relate to an extended display generator having an input stream module to generate or receive input streams. Input streams may be generated locally (e.g., by a game engine) or remotely (e.g., from the internet). A function module of the generator provides functions that modify or extract information from the input streams. Then extended display generator applies a template to the input streams and function outputs, defining how such display content is presented to a user. A graphical user interface is used to specify which input streams, functions, and visual template should be used. The extended display shows the selected input stream(s) and the functional output(s) in a format defined by the visual template.

  • Patent number: 12020580
    Abstract: A system and method of storing and recovering a flight plan includes loading flight plan data into working memory of an aircraft flight management system (FMS). When the FMS determines that a storage triggering event has occurred, a copy of at least a portion of the flight plan data is transmitted from the working memory to a non-volatile storage medium. A display command is supplied to a display device, at least following recovery of the FMS from a severe reset, that causes the display device to render a retrieval prompt. A retrieval command is received at the FMS, via a user input device, that causes the FMS to retrieve the at least a portion of the flight plan data from the non-volatile memory and store it in the working memory.

  • Patent number: 11988901
    Abstract: A system includes a pair of electronic contact lenses that obtain respective motion sensor measurements in response to eye movements. A tracking module derives estimated orientations for both eyes based on the sensor measurements and a set of correlations and constraints that describe human eye movement. The model describes the limited number of ways that an individual eye can move and relationships between relative movement of the left and right eye. The tracking module performs filtering based on the measurements and the eye model to suppress noise and generate orientation estimates for both eyes.
