  • Publication number: 20240151965
    Abstract: Head-mounted display systems with power saving functionality are disclosed. The systems can include a frame configured to be supported on the head of the user. The systems can also include a head-mounted display disposed on the frame, one or more sensors, and processing electronics in communication with the display and the one or more sensors. In some implementations, the processing electronics can be configured to cause the system to reduce power of one or more components in response to at least in part on a determination that the frame is in a certain position (e.g., upside-down or on top of the head of the user). In some implementations, the processing electronics can be configured to cause the system to reduce power of one or more components in response to at least in part on a determination that the frame has been stationary for at least a threshold period of time.

  • Patent number: 6377604
    Abstract: A current-conducting arm for conducting a current from at least one cable supports to an electrode in an electric arc furnace comprising an arm housing having a U-shaped base channel member and a U-shaped top channel member. Both channel members have a first and second wall, with the top channel member being inverted such that the first wall of the top channel member can be joined with the first wall of the base channel member, and the second wall of the top channel member can be joined with the second wall of the base channel member. The arm housing therefore has four annular corners to improve the conduction of current through the arm housing to the electrode. The invention further includes a spring assembly used to provide to aid an electrode holder in clamping the electrode. Moreover, a laser pointer is included for guiding the positioning of the arm housing in the electric arc furnace.
