  • Ownerls Manual
    RECON JET Owner’s Manual Assembled in USA SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ BEFORE USING RECON JET Jet is designed to enhance your sports and fitness experience. If used improperly (e.g. when cycling without paying attention to the road), Jet may cause you to get in an accident that could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Always pay attention to the road. Do not focus on Jet’s display and become distracted from your surroundings. Ride safe and have fun. Please read and understand these warnings before using Jet. If you have any questions about how to use Jet safely, contact Recon Customer Support at [email protected], or call us at 1.877.642.2486. Support hours are 6:00am to 5:30pm PST, 7 days a week. 1. Don’t get distracted. Keep your eyes on the road. Jet’s display sits just below your right eye, but that does not mean you can stare at it and still see everything on the road. Focusing on the display may cause you to miss cars, road debris, and other hazards, which may reduce or eliminate your ability to avoid an accident. Jet’s display and the information delivered on it are designed for quick access. Glance at Jet’s display quickly, in the same way you would glance at your car’s dashboard or rearview mirror, and do so only when you are sure that you are safe from traffic and other hazards. Jet displays different types of information than your cycling computer or other fitness tracking devices.

  • Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual Mimo Communication
    DESIGN, MODELING, AND ANALYSIS OF VISUAL MIMO COMMUNICATION By ASHWIN ASHOK A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School|New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering written under the direction of Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2014 c 2014 Ashwin Ashok ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual MIMO Communication By ASHWIN ASHOK Dissertation Director: Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana Today's pervasive devices are increasingly being integrated with light emitting diode (LED) arrays, that serve the dual purpose of illumination and signage, and photo- receptor arrays in the form of pixel elements in a camera. The ubiquitous use of light emitting arrays (LEA) and cameras in today's world calls for building novel systems and applications where such light emitting arrays can communicate information to cameras. This thesis presents the design, modeling and analysis of a novel concept called visual MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) where cameras are used for communication. In visual MIMO, information transmitted from light emitting arrays are received through the optical wireless channel and decoded by a camera receiver. The paradigm shift in visual MIMO is the use of digital image analysis and computer vision techniques to aid in the demodulation of information, contrary to the direct processing of electrical signals as in traditional radio-frequency (RF) communication.

  • Field Service Support with Google Glass and Webrtc
    Field Service Support with Google Glass and WebRTC Support av Fälttekniker med Google Glass och WebRTC PATRIK OLDSBERG Examensarbete inom Datorteknik, Grundnivå, 15 hp Handledare på KTH: Reine Bergström Examinator: Ibrahim Orhan TRITA-STH 2014:68 KTH Skolan för Teknik och Hälsa 136 40 Handen, Sverige Abstract The Internet is dramatically changing the way we com- municate, and it is becoming increasingly important for communication services to adapt to context in which they are used. The goal of this thesis was to research how Google Glass and WebRTC can be used to create a communi- cation system tailored for field service support. A prototype was created where an expert is able to provide guidance for a field technician who is wearing Google Glass. A live video feed is sent from Glass to the expert from which the expert can select individual images. When a still image is selected it is displayed to the technician through Glass, and the expert is able to provide instructions using real time annotations. An algorithm that divides the selected image into segments was implemented using WebGL. This made it possible for the expert to highlight objects in the image by clicking on them. The thesis also investigates different options for ac- cessing the hardware video encoder on Google Glass. Sammanfattning Internet har dramatiskt ändrat hur vi kommunicerar, och det blir allt viktigare för kommunikationssystem att kunna anpassa sig till kontexten som de används i. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka hur Google Glass och WebRTC kan användas för att skapa ett kommunikationssystem som är skräddarsytt för support av fälttekniker.

Pennington Submitted to the System Design and Management Program on August 7, 2020 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in System Design and Management ABSTRACT A major method of acquiring the rights to technology is through the procurement of intellectual property (IP), which allow companies to both extend their technological advantage while denying it to others. Public databases such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) track this exchange of technology rights. Thus, IP can be used as a public measure of value accumulation in the form of technology rights.

Motivated by the opportunities that next-generation wearable intelligence is expected to provide, the goal of this work is to build a comprehensive understanding around some of the user-centric security and trust aspects of the emerging wearable and close-to-body wireless systems operating in mass events and under heterogeneous conditions. The paper thus intends to bring the attention of the research community to this emerging paradigm and discuss the pressing security and connectivity challenges within a popular consumer context.
