20090187389 | Immersive Collaborative Environment Using Motion Capture, Head Mounted Display, and Cave - A collaborative visualization system integrates motion capture and virtual reality, along with kinematics and computer-aided design (CAD), for the purpose, for example, of evaluating an engineering design. A virtual reality simulator creates a full-scale, three-dimensional virtual reality simulation responsive to computer-aided design (CAD) data. Motion capture data is obtained from users simultaneously interacting with the virtual reality simulation. The virtual reality simulator animates in real time avatars responsive to motion capture data from the users. The virtual reality simulation, including the interactions of the one or more avatars and also objects, is displayed as a three-dimensional image in a common immersive environment using one or more head mounted displays so that the users can evaluate the CAD design to thereby verify that tasks associated with a product built according to the CAD design can be performed by a predetermined range of user sizes. | 07-23-2009 |
20090213114 | Portable Immersive Environment Using Motion Capture and Head Mounted Display - Embodiments of the present invention provide a collaborative visualization system, which integrates motion capture and virtual reality, along with kinematics and computer-aided design (CAD), for the purpose of, for example, virtual training on a task. A portable motion capture system tracks the movements of one or more trainers and records full-body motion capture data for one or more trainers performing one or more tasks. A virtual reality simulator receives the recorded motion capture data and animates scaled avatars within a three-dimensional virtual reality simulation responsive to recorded motion capture data. An immersive observation system displays the virtual reality simulation, including the animated avatars, as a three-dimensional image that appears to surround one or more trainees using one or more head mounted displays so that the one or more trainees can analyze the one or more tasks performed. | 08-27-2009 |
20090278917 | Providing A Collaborative Immersive Environment Using A Spherical Camera and Motion Capture - Embodiments of the present invention provide a collaborative visualization system, which integrates motion capture and virtual reality, along with kinematics and computer-aided design (CAD), for the purpose of, for example, validating a simulation with a real-world video. A spherical camera captures real-world video at a first location. At a second location, one or more head-mounted display devices display the captured real-world video and also display a simulation corresponding to the real-world video. A motion capture system captures head rotation information for one or more users to thereby to control a pan, tilt, and zoom of the real-world video so that when a position of a user's head changes, the portion of the real-world video displayed in the head-mounted display changes accordingly. Upon user input, a computer program product selects between displaying the real-world video and the simulation in the head-mounted display. | 11-12-2009 |

20120233401 | EMBEDDED MEMORY SYSTEM - An embedded memory system is disclosed. A main interface is configured to communicate with an electronic system via a main bus. A memory-sharing auxiliary interface is configured to communicate with the electronic system via a memory-sharing auxiliary bus. An arbiter is configured to arbitrate among the main interface, the memory-sharing auxiliary interface, a primary memory, and a secondary memory. Accordingly, the electronic system is capable of sharing either the primary memory or the secondary memory via the memory-sharing auxiliary interface and the memory-sharing auxiliary bus, and the embedded memory system is capable of sharing a system memory of the electronic system via the memory-sharing auxiliary interface and the memory-sharing auxiliary bus. | 09-13-2012 |

20080314732 | Methods and systems for generating and using plasma conduits - Systems are disclosed for providing a plasma conduit maintaining ionized particles within a perforation hole in a body, and a power source configured to provide electrical power through the plasma conduit. Methods are disclosed for detonating a plasma generator, the detonation forming a plasma conduit within a body perforation hole, and connecting a power source to the plasma conduit, the power source configured to provide electrical power through the plasma conduit. Systems are also disclosed for generating a plasma conduit. The system includes two or more explosive devices containing ionizable material, and the explosive devices are adapted to, upon detonation, form a plasma conduit in a body by generating intersecting perforation holes including plasma for conducting electrical energy from a power source. | 12-25-2008 |

20090033864 | MULTIFOCAL CONTACT LENSES AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING VISION AND FOR PRODUCING MULTIFOCAL CONTACT LENSES - Pairs of multifocal contact lenses are described. Each contact lens of the pair includes a central area that provides substantially all of the distance vision correction of the lens, and an annular area surrounding the central area and providing intermediate vision correction and near vision correction. A pair of contact lenses can be used to correct a person's vision, especially presbyopia of an emerging presbyopic patient. Methods of producing the present pairs of contact lenses are also described. | 02-05-2009 |
