Title: Sunlight sensors
Inventor: JOHN GRAHAM WOOD
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 2021-07-28
Abstract: A measurement is taken using a sunshine sensor comprising at least two light-sensitive detectors 13a-13g and a masking element having a pattern of opaque areas 17 so that at any time at least one detector is exposed to direct sunlight through a translucent area and at least one detector is shaded from direct sunlight by an opaque area. Corrected direct normal irradiance of sunlight is determined, based upon the difference between a corrected diffuse intensity and a corrected global intensity. These in turn are determined by applying a correction function to an initial global and initial diffuse intensity, being respectively: a sum of maximum and minimum intensities; and a scaling of the minimum intensity. The method may mirror the gold standard pyranometer more accurately than prior art methods. The method may correct for the spectral response and field of view of sunlight sensors in differing atmospheric e.g. cloud conditions.

Title: Proactively selecting virtual reality content contexts
Inventor: Subha Kiran Patnaikuni
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2021-09-17
Abstract: A method for selecting VR content according to available bandwidth comprising: receiving positional metadata from a VR device, receiving time-indexed bandwidth availability information for said location, receiving a plurality of VR content bandwidth thresholds, receiving a request for VR content at a future time, and selecting VR content having a threshold below the available bandwidth at the location at the future time.

The process may be repeated for multiple further locations and times. The metadata may comprise speed, direction, or velocity. When the bandwidth drops below the threshold a corrective action may be taken such as selecting content with a reduced threshold or guiding the user to arrive at the location at a different time. The content may be substituted with promotional material during periods of reduced bandwidth.
