20150185018 | Methods and Systems for Determining Estimation of Motion of a Device - Methods and systems for determining estimation of motion of a device are provided. An example method includes receiving data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of a device and receiving images from a camera of the device for a sliding time window. The method also includes determining an IMU estimation of motion of the device based on the data from the IMU, and a camera estimation of motion of the device based on feature tracking in the images. The method includes, based on the IMU estimation and the camera estimation having a difference more than a threshold amount, determining one or more of a position or a velocity of the device for the sliding time window, and determining an overall estimation of motion of the device as supported by the data from the IMU and the position or velocity of the device. | 07-02-2015 |
20150185054 | Methods and Systems for Synchronizing Data Received from Multiple Sensors of a Device - Example methods and systems for synchronizing data received from multiple sensors of a device are provided. A method may be performed by a device having an application processor configured to function based on an operating system and a co-processor configured to receive data from sensors of the device. The method may comprise determining an interrupt by a sensor of the device, and providing, by the co-processor, a timestamp of the interrupt that is indicative of a time that the sensor has data for output. The method also comprises receiving the data for output from the sensor, associating the timestamp of the interrupt by the sensor with the received data, associating together data received from multiple sensors into data structures based on timestamps of the data, and providing the data structures to the application processor in sequence based on the timestamps of the data. | 07-02-2015 |

20130323419 | METHODS FOR PREPARING POLYMER MEMBRANES ON POROUS SUPPORTS - Methods for preparing a polymer membrane on a porous support may include providing a porous support having an outer wall, a first end, a second end, and porous channel surfaces that define a plurality of channels through the porous support from the first end to the second end. The plurality of channels includes membrane channels. The channel surfaces that define the membrane channels are membrane-channel surfaces. The polymer membrane may be coated onto the porous support by first establishing a pressure differential between the outer wall and the plurality of channels. Then, a pre-polymer solution may be applied to the membrane-channel surfaces and, optionally, the first and second ends, by slip coating or emulsion coating while the pressure differential is maintained. This results in formation of a pre-polymer layer on at least the membrane-channel surfaces. Then, the pre-polymer layer may be cured to form the polymer membrane. | 12-05-2013 |

20110053270 | Patterning Hydrogels - A method for forming a pattern-coated substrate includes disposing a composition comprising a polysaccharide-based polymer on a substrate to generate a coated substrate. The polysaccharide-based polymer composition is substantially free of cross-linking monomers. The method further includes exposing a portion of the coated substrate to a first dose of UV radiation to induce crosslinking of the polysaccharide-based polymer, wherein a portion of the substrate is shielded from the ionizing radiation. The UV exposed coated substrate may be washed or hydrated to remove uncross-linked polysaccharide-based polymer. | 03-03-2011 |
