  • Head-mounted display for public use

    Issued US11686946B2 PCT/US2017/052272

    Some embodiments described herein relate to head-mounted displays having an optical assembly and a support structure. The optical assembly can include the display, lenses, sensors, electronics and similar components. In this way, fragile and/or expensive components can be concentrated in the optical assembly. The support structure can include a faceplate and straps configured to hold the head-mounted display to the user's head. The optical assembly can be removeably coupled to the support…

    Some embodiments described herein relate to head-mounted displays having an optical assembly and a support structure. The optical assembly can include the display, lenses, sensors, electronics and similar components. In this way, fragile and/or expensive components can be concentrated in the optical assembly. The support structure can include a faceplate and straps configured to hold the head-mounted display to the user's head. The optical assembly can be removeably coupled to the support structure. Support structures can be interchangeable with optical assemblies such that one support structure can be configured to be removeably coupled to all, most, or several optical assemblies.

    The Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority (ERCA) will begin installing a Global Positioning System (GPS) on trucks travelling from and to Djibouti.
    Global Computing Solution (GCS) is the sole provider approved by the Ethiopian Information Network Security Agency (INSA) to install the technology.
    GCS partnered with HI-G-Tek, a leading Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) maker based in the United States in January 2011 to install the devices.
    INSA tested the efficiency of the GPS systems and awarded the project to Hi-G-Tek, one of the leading developers and RFID providers in the world with its Ethiopian partner GCS at a cost of USD 2.5 million.
    Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses communication via radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

  • Tanker Truck Monitoring Solution (TTMS), Cargo Tracking and Monitoring Solution (CTMS) and Military Logistics

    Hi-G-Tek’s ESP, which is installed at client sites, controls and manages the entire solution. The ESP receives, analyzes, and stores all the information collected by the sensors, filtering events by applying the client’s business rules to incoming data. Hi-G-Tek’s software platform is highly flexible: easily adaptable to a client’s operational processes; easily integrated with existing ERPs; and easily expanded as the client’s application grows.
