Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosed subject matter, a multi-view framework (MVF) is presented. Advantageously and according to aspects of the disclosed subject matter, an MVF operates as an executable service and provides a single user experience (UX) and application programming interface (API) for concurrent viewing and interaction with two or more digital twins, each digital twin being generated by a third-party content display generator unrelated to the MVF and other content display generators providing display content to the MVF for concurrent display. Still further, an MVF may be advantageously incorporated into a consumer software package and/or packaged as a consumer software package or provided as an online service.

Abstract: A projector includes a first light modulator having first pixels, a second light modulator having second pixels, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to determine whether to control the spatial light modulators in a high-end mode or a low-end mode based on a video demand indicating greyscale levels. In high-end mode, at least one first pixel is driven in an ON state for at least a fraction of a frame time that a corresponding second pixel is in the ON state, the fraction determined based on the greyscale level. In the low-end mode, the at least one first pixel is driven in an OFF state while the corresponding second pixel is driven between ON and OFF states. The fraction that the second pixel is in the ON state is increased to compensate for driving the at least one first pixel in the OFF state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically integrating disparate computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems are disclosed. The systems and methods provide bi-directional interoperability between disparate CAD systems and maintain stateful ongoing interactions between interconnected CAD systems. Information objects in one CAD system are associated and bound to related objects in other CAD systems through a centralized information hub that transforms data items intelligently to facilitate communication and interaction between the CAD systems connected to the hub. The described systems and methods maintain complete and current perspectives of all relevant information for each CAD system connected to the information hub, thereby eliminating the need for point-to-point intelligence maintained by the CAD systems about the other interconnected CAD systems.

Abstract: An intelligent electronic device (100) for metering a characteristic of electricity that has a rear opening (214) and a side opening (216) in a housing of the device for accepting a connector of an expansion module through one or the other opening. The device can be configured with an integrated display module (120) that protrudes through a panel of an enclosure, and in this configuration, the expansion module connects to the device through the rear opening of the housing. The device can also be configured to be mounted on a DIN rail, and in this configuration, the expansion module connects through the side opening of the housing. The same module can be used in either configuration, without requiring that different versions of the module be made for the different configurations and without having to mount the device in an awkward orientation that makes it difficult to access external connections around the housing.

Abstract: Methods and devices for mounting a sensor are presented herein. A temperature sensor assembly for a capacitor bank is disclosed that includes two opposing substrates, and a plurality of contact temperature sensors attached to each substrate. Each temperature sensor is configured to directly contact a surface of one of the capacitor cans in the capacitor bank and therefrom generate a signal indicative of the temperature of the capacitor can. A biasing member attaches the two substrates together. The biasing member is configured to selectively contract, such that the width of the sensor assembly is less than the gap distance between adjacent sets of tandem capacitor cans and the sensor assembly can insert between the sets of capacitor cans, and expand, such that the width of the sensor assembly is greater than the gap distance and the sensor assembly is tensioned against and thereby secured between the sets of capacitor cans.

Abstract: A braking system for an electric vehicle has a first wheel having a first friction brake and an electric motor and a second having a second friction brake. A first user-actuated brake lever is coupled to the first friction brake. The first brake lever has a first sensor indicating actuation of the first brake lever. A second user-actuated brake lever is coupled to the second friction brake. The second brake lever has a second sensor indicating actuation of the second brake lever. An electronic control unit electronically coupled to the first and second sensors and the electric motor commands the electric motor to operate as a generator when at least one of the brake levers is actuated.

Abstract: A method for providing a query-based diagrammatic presentation of data includes generating a filter element that defines a set of groups and includes a set of declarative queries that define information to be included in the set of groups. The filter element is applied to a data source, which includes performing the set of declarative queries on the data source, thereby generating a set of query results for each of the groups. A diagram is generated that includes a set of shapes representing the set of groups, and a set of nodes nested within each of the shapes, wherein the nodes for each group are determined based on the query results for that group.
