20150193949 | CALIBRATION OF MULTIPLE RIGID BODIES IN A VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM - A virtual reality (VR) console receives slow calibration data from an imaging device and fast calibration data from an inertial measurement unit on a VR headset including a front and a rear rigid body. The slow calibration data includes an image where only the locators on the rear rigid body are visible. An observed position is determined from the slow calibration data and a predicted position is determined from the fast calibration data. If a difference between the observed position and the predicted position is greater than a threshold value, the predicted position is adjusted by a temporary offset until the difference is less than the threshold value. The temporary offset is removed by re-calibrating the rear rigid body to the front rigid body once locators on both the front and rear rigid body are visible in an image in the slow calibration data. | 07-09-2015 |

20150291174 | CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - In a control apparatus for a vehicle that changes over a range of an automatic transmission by operating an electric shift actuator and that starts up an engine by operating a starter motor, for example, when an occupant of a vehicle that has carried out idling stop operates a shift lever, the operation of the shift actuator corresponding thereto is started, and the operation of the starter motor is started after the lapse of a predetermined period therefrom. Thus, while the starting responsiveness of the vehicle is enhanced, a fall in battery voltage is restrained from adversely affecting the operation of the shift actuator, and the occurrence of a shock and a decrease in driveability are suppressed as well. | 10-15-2015 |
