Abstract:
Two-dimensional or three-dimensional augmented reality (AR) markers are provided for alignment with a target object in calibrating an optical see-through display, such as a head-mounted display (HMD), in an AR system. A calibrated projection matrix for calibration of the optical see-through display is computed based upon a user's repeated alignments of the AR markers with the target object.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes inter-digital transducers in a silicon die, where the inter-digital transducers are driven to excite phonons in the silicon die to modulate its thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity may be increased by exciting acoustic phonons in the silicon die, so that heat dissipation is improved, or the thermal conductivity may be decreased by exciting optical phonons so that heat dissipation is reduced. In conjunction with power management, the thermal conductivity is increased or decreased depending upon the power states of various functional units in the silicon die and depending upon various temperature sensors.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for providing thermal solution are provided. The apparatus includes an electronic component that emits heat during the operation of the apparatus. A single-piece component covers the electronic component and is configured to shield the electronic component from an electromagnetic field surrounding the electronic component. The single-piece component is also configured to transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted by the electronic component to a cooling region of the apparatus. In another aspect, a method and an apparatus for providing thermal solution are provided. The apparatus shields an electronic component of the apparatus from an electromagnetic field surrounding the electronic component. The apparatus transfers at least a portion of heat emitted by the electronic component to a cooling region of the mobile device. The shielding and the transferring are performed by the same single-piece component of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A heat transfer component of a smart watch captures at least a portion of heat emitted by one or more electronic components located within an enclosure of the smart watch. The heat transfer component transfers at least a portion of the captured heat to a wrist band outside the enclosure of the smart watch. The wrist band allows for dissipation of at least a portion of the transferred heat through at least one surface of the wrist band.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for implementing a synthetic jet to cool a device are provided. Examples of the techniques keep a device case cool enough to be hand-held, while allowing a higher temperature of a circuit component located in the case, to maximize circuit performance. In an example, provided is a mobile device including a synthetic jet configured to transfer heat within the mobile device. The synthetic jet can be embedded in a circuit board inside the mobile device such that the circuit board defines at least a portion of a chamber of the synthetic jet and defines an orifice of the synthetic jet. The device case can define at least one fluid channel inside the mobile device. Also, the circuit board can define a synthetic jet outlet configured to direct a fluid at the at least one fluid channel. Also provided are methods for controlling a synthetic jet.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for selecting an Augmented Reality (AR) object on a head mounted device (HMD) are presented. In some embodiments, an HMD may define a Region-of-Interest (ROI) based on a gesture formed by at least one hand of a user. Subsequently the HMD may display to the user a shape on the HMD. In at least one arrangement, the shape outlines the ROI. Additionally, the HMD may display to the user a plurality of AR objects, each of the plurality of AR objects being associated with a target inside the ROI. Furthermore, the HMD may reduce the size of the ROI based on a first movement of the at least one hand of the user to form a reduced-sized ROI. In at least one arrangement, the reduced-sized ROI is used to select a specific AR object from the plurality of AR objects.
