  • Publication number: 20240166379
    Abstract: Movable platforms for use with a vehicle capture assembly of a capture vehicle and related devices, systems, and methods include floors with rotatable legs extending between the floors. The rotation of the legs relative to one or more of the floors enables the movable platform to move from an initial position to a displaced position as one or more of the floors move relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11980724
    Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a multilayer circuit, a first magnetic field sensor, and a second magnetic field sensor. The multilayer circuit extends between a proximal end and a distal end along a longitudinal axis. The multilayer circuit includes a plurality of electrical pads positioned at the proximal end. The first magnetic field sensor is coupled to the multilayer circuit and has a primary sensing direction aligned with the longitudinal axis. The second magnetic field sensor is coupled to the multilayer circuit and oriented with respect to the first magnetic field sensor such that the second magnetic field sensor has a primary sensing direction aligned with an axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 6256048
    Abstract: A method of producing a frame sequence file from a two-dimensional virtual canvas includes receiving control instructions from a user and thereafter, producing frame sequence file frames by repeatedly mapping a virtual camera frame upon the virtual canvas in accordance with the control instructions, processing virtual canvas information within the mapped virtual camera frame in accordance with the control instructions, and saving the processed virtual canvas information as one frame in the frame sequence file. Additionally, the canvas artwork may be animated during frame sequence file generation.

  • Patent number: 5870091
    Abstract: A computer-implemented graphical user interface method receives a select command to select a first window from a group of three or more separate and distinct windows. A dock command is received to combine the selected first window and a distinct second window from the group of windows. The first window is docked to the second window to form a single composite window having its own content and its own decoration. The composite window includes a first pane containing the first window content and a second pane containing the second window content. A collapse command is received to collapse a selected one of the first and second panes in the composite window, and an uncollapse command is received to uncollapse the previously collapsed first or second pane in the composite window. A stack command is received to stack a third window with the second pane of the composite window.
