Patent number: 11200892Abstract: A speech interface device is configured to display an Augmented Reality (AR) user interface that displays information specific to a vehicle or other object. For example, the device may capture images of the vehicle and may displaying the AR user interface with labels, graphical elements, visual effects, and/or additional information superimposed above corresponding portions of the vehicle represented in the images. Using a remote system to perform speech processing, the device may respond to a voice command, enabling the AR user interface to display specific information about the vehicle and/or features of the vehicle in response to the voice command. The device may also send position data indicating information about what is displayed on the AR user interface, enabling the remote system to provide information about specific features or components based on where the device is pointed.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brock Christopher Stoops, Sheng Bi, Jay Reynolds, Benjamin King

Patent number: 10124968Abstract: A simplified submerged chain conveyor system for handling ash produced by large-scale coal fired boilers. The system incorporates an endless chain conveyor system moving a coal/ash aqueous mixture within a conveyor segment having a hydraulically closed duct. The system is adapted for retrofit applications of existing coal-fired boiler installations. In each embodiment the chain conveyor elevates the aqueous ash solution to dewater the ash. In several embodiments the boiler ash hopper is partially flooded with water and the system moves the ash mixture through a water column to the dewatering section. In one embodiment the ash mixture is not submersed but is subjected to water sprays before reaching the dewatering section. Great flexibility is provided in locating and positioning the conveyor system. One unit may be implemented to provide ash handling for multiple boilers. Embodiments are described operable in continuous or batch mode processes.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignees: THE BABCOCK & WILCOX COMPANY, BABCOCK & WILCOX LOIBL GMBHInventors: Loius A Zotti, Randy Jay Reynolds, Manfred Reinsch, Karl Josef Zeitler, Austin Tyler Little
