Another embodiment has a display whose output rays that are within three degrees of normal are directed substantially through a centre of an eyebox of the HWD. A prism 115 is disposed proximate to the input surface to pre-compensate the display light for lateral chromatic aberrations resulting from the curved lightguide. A head wearable display includes the apparatus with a frame assembly. The curved eyepiece may further comprise a first and second lens body mated together at an interface that holds the optical combiner.

Title: Data communication system and method
Inventor: TUOMAS KARKKAINEN
IPC: H04L12/44
Filed: 2017-07-07
Abstract: A network node 102 provides a service to clients or bots executing on network devices 106 arranged around the node in a programmatic star configuration to create a local network 108. Communication data between clients/bots is relayed through the node. A client/bot encrypts communication data by employing a key store, the store being associated with an owner of the client/bot. Similar local star networks may be interconnected such that a client/bot on one local network can communicate data to another in the same or different local network through the corresponding service network nodes. Metadata indicative of a unique identifier (ID) of the key store and a key index of a key material to be derived from the key store for decryption of data may be transmitted with said data. The metadata may be encrypted or unencrypted, and may further comprise group information relating to clients/bots that form a receiving group. A given network node service may validate and authenticate local services provided by clients or bots within its own local network. These client/bot services may be registered with a registration service 104 as a private or public service.

Title: Low-power processor with support for multiple precision modes
Inventor: ANTHONY JAMES MAGRATH
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: Multiple data wordlengths may be supported by a processor through a single data path and/or a single set of registers. For example, the processor may support 16-bit wordlengths and 24-bit wordlengths through a single datapath. For supported data wordlengths that are less than the wordlength of the registers and datapath, the data may be left-aligned within the registers and datapath. The left alignment of data may allow saturation detection in the processor to be performed by examining the same saturation point regardless of the wordlength of the data being operated on. A special saturation mode of the processor may set the lower bits to zero when a configuration register or instruction-bit is set and saturation is detected
