Abstract: Systems, methods, client devices, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing an augmented reality (AR) data channel to enable shared augmented reality video calls which facilitate the sharing of and interaction with AR elements during video calls. For example, the disclosed systems can establish a video call between client devices that include a video (and audio) data channel and an AR data channel. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems enable one of the client devices to transmit AR data (e.g., AR element identifiers, AR elements, object vectors, participant identifiers) through an AR data channel to cause the other client device to render an AR element on a video captured by the other client device during a video call. Indeed, the disclosed systems can enable AR environments, AR effects, AR-based activities, and/or individual AR elements during a video call utilizing an AR data channel.

Abstract: A system for estimating both thickness and wear state of refractory material (1) of a metallurgical furnace (12), including at least on processor including a database of simulated frequency domain data named simulated spectra representing simulated shock waves reflected in simulated refractory materials of known state and thickness, each simulated spectrum being correlated with both known state and thickness data of the considered simulated refractory material, wherein the at least one processor is configured to record a reflected shock wave as a time domain signal, and to convert it into frequency domain data named experimental spectrum, and are further configured to compare the experimental spectrum with at least a plurality of simulated spectra from the database, to determine the best fitting simulated spectrum with the experimental spectrum and to estimate thickness and state of the refractory material (1) of the furnace (12) using known state and thickness data correlated with the best fitting simulated

It additionally comprises: a base (3) located in the upper portion of the central body (1) to support at least one wind turbine (4); and at least four legs (2) located in the lower portion of the central body (1) and provided with: a) a first end, by which they are integrally attached to the central body (1); b) a second end, opposite to the first end, and more distant from the central body (1); and c) at least a porch (6) located in the second end of each leg (2), said porch (6) comprising a first drilling (12) in longitudinal direction to anchor the floating platform to the sea bed (5).

Abstract: A motor-driven concrete cutting saw and method in which the motor has an idler gear, a top slider gear slidably engageable and disengageable with the idler gear; and a bottom slider gear slidably engageable and disengageable with the idler gear. Both the top and bottom slider gears have two toothed disks, and the idler gear has two toothed disks, a main gap, and a third toothed disk. The toothed disks are sized to produce, when engaged with one another, multiple speeds including a neutral setting that would allow the motor to disengage from the saw blade while running.
