  • Publication number: 20240157940
    Abstract: As part of a start-up sequence, a controller of a machine causes one or more activation components of a battery of the machine to be enabled, then causes one or more electrical components associated with the battery to be enabled, then causes one or more non-accumulator components of a hydraulic system to be enabled, then causes one or more accumulator components of the hydraulic system to charge, and then causes one or more propulsion components to be enabled. As part of a shut-down sequence, the controller causes the one or more propulsion components to be disabled, then causes the one or more accumulator components of the hydraulic system to bleed, then causes the one or more non-accumulator components of the hydraulic system to be disabled, and then causes the one or more electrical components associated with the battery to be disabled.

  • Publication number: 20240157798
    Abstract: A controller of a machine identifies that a battery of the machine is connected to an electrical power connector component. The controller then causes one or more charging components of the battery of the machine to be enabled, then cause one or more electrical components associated with the battery of the machine to be enabled, then causes one or more cooling components of the machine to be enabled, then causes one or more propulsion components of the machine to be disabled, then causes one or more accumulator components of a hydraulic system of the machine to bleed, and then causes one or more non-accumulator components of the hydraulic system of the machine to be enabled. In this way, the controller causes the battery of the machine to enter into a charging state.

  • Publication number: 20240127811
    Abstract: A method for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in an extended reality application may include multiple steps, including: receiving a stream of words as a first utterance; processing the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; based on the processing, determining a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; determining occurrence of a pause after the first utterance; and receiving a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause.

  • Publication number: 20240115936
    Abstract: A gaming controller includes a series of button assemblages corresponding to various game input functions. The assemblages are angled such that an operator's fingers are aligned with buttons resulting minimal tilting of the wrist. The gaming controller includes modifier buttons that change the strength of corresponding button input. A controller operating system includes a controller circuit with a processor configured to perform various functionalities. The operating system further includes a plurality of settings and sub-settings, at least some of which being related to user profiles, modifier button settings, and/or override systems. A method includes connecting the gaming controller to a video monitor and changing at least one setting associated with at least one of a user profile, a modifier button, and an override system that is saved on a local memory.

  • Patent number: 11956701
    Abstract: An example system and method for selectively conveying content via User Interface (UI) display screen sections of Business Intelligence (BI) software and for facilitating user interaction therewith, e.g., so as to impart usefulness or preference ratings thereto, which can then affect subsequently displayed content. An example method includes providing one or more UI controls enabling a user to provide an input query and to interact with resulting content (i.e., query results, also called search results), where the user interaction with the content provides information (e.g., context information) indicative of a usefulness or preference rating pertaining to the content; thereby enabling modifications to subsequently retrieved content in accordance with the usefulness or preference rating(s). Such rating(s) may be aggregated from plural users of an associated software application.

  • Patent number: 11861300
    Abstract: A system for maintaining links and revisions for documents is described. The system comprises a productivity server configured to provide a document collaboration service and having processors and a memory storing program data. The program data configures the processors to: receive requests indicating revisions on the documents, including a first request that indicates a first revision to a first document, and a second request that indicates a second revision to a second document. For each request, a workspace revision counter shared by, and indicating a revision state of, the documents is incremented. The workspace revision counter is incremented a first time for the first request and a second time for the second request. Revisions corresponding to the each request are queued in a workspace revision queue shared by the documents. The revisions are caused to be performed on the documents that correspond to the each request.

  • Patent number: 11544451
    Abstract: A method for maintaining links and revisions for a plurality of documents is described. The method is carried out by one or more computing devices. Requests that indicate revisions to be carried out on the plurality of documents are received, at least one of the requests corresponding to revisions for different documents of the plurality of documents. For each request: a workspace revision counter that is shared by the plurality of documents is incremented, the workspace revision counter indicating a revision state of the plurality of documents, the revision is queued in a workspace revision queue that is shared by the plurality of documents, and the revision indicated by the request is caused to be performed on one or more documents of the plurality of documents that correspond to the request.

  • Publication number: 20220249905
    Abstract: An item of exercise equipment with a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the cycle and base, to provide movement of the cycle in the axial direction and in a tilt direction relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and provide a gravity bias of the platform toward an axial neutral position. The cycle and base include a tilt biasing arrangement for biasing the cycle toward a tilt neutral position relative to the base.
