  • Patent number: 11790649
    Abstract: A mobile device is fitted with an extended reality (XR) software application program executing on a processor within an XR system, and optionally a camera. Via the XR software application program, various techniques are performed for interacting with a physical object via the XR environment. In particular, the XR software application program generates and displays visual representations of real-time metric data received from a data intake and query system along with auxiliary data received from an asset management system. In addition, the XR software application program detects user interactions with the XR environment. In response, the XR software application generates messages directed to the asset management system. The messages include commands to update the auxiliary data associated with the physical object.

  • Patent number: 11727643
    Abstract: Various implementations of the present application set forth a method comprising receiving, by a remote device from a host device, geometry data representing a physical space that is remote to a location of the remote device, where the geometry data comprises a set of vertices, a set of faces comprising edges between pairs of vertices, and texture data, constructing, based on the geometry data, an adaptable three-dimensional (3D) representation of the physical space for display at the location of the remote device, receiving, by the remote device, an input representing an interaction with at least one portion of the adaptable 3D representation, and transmitting, to the host device, data corresponding to the interaction.

  • Patent number: 11714980
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using tag placement to determine 3D object orientation. An extended reality (XR) system detects, in a two-dimensional image, a data marker associated with an object viewable in an XR environment. The XR system applies a first function to the data marker to generate a rectilinear data marker by transforming a quadrilateral that circumscribes the data marker into a rectangle. The XR system determines a three-dimensional orientation of the object based on transformation of the data marker to the rectilinear data marker. The XR system determines an XR object associated with the data marker. The XR system applies a second function to the XR object, where the second function uses the three-dimensional orientation of the data marker to modify an orientation of the XR object to generate a transformed XR object. The XR system causes the transformed XR object to be displayed within the two-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 11676345
    Abstract: A device is fitted with a camera and an extended reality (XR) software application program executing on a processor. Via the XR software application program, a technique is performed for automating adaptive workflows in the XR environment. In the technique, the XR software application program determines an identifier of an asset in the XR environment. The XR software application program sends to a data intake and query system a request associated with a playbook having one or more execution tasks associated with the asset. The XR software application program receives the playbook and generates an XR object associated with an execution task in the playbook. The XR software application program causes the XR object to be displayed at a location in the XR environment corresponding to a determined location, relative to the asset, of a portion of the asset with which the execution task is associated.

  • Patent number: 11670062
    Abstract: One or more disclosed techniques comprise generating an extended reality (XR) template at a first location, where the XR template represents a virtual space in an XR environment that is associated with a real-world object at a second location, and generating a template object that represents the real-world object, wherein the template object is included in the XR template.

  • Patent number: 10344392
    Abstract: A method is provided for electrodepositing a coating a conductive workpiece. The method provides for individually switching on or off electrodes both interior to and exterior to the workpiece so as to control the deposition of the coating material on the interior surface and the exterior surface of the workpiece. Further, an electrode having insulating positioners can be utilized to provide for better centering of the electrode in the interior of the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 9851199
    Abstract: The invention embodies methods and apparatuses to monitor and control the characteristics of a creping process. The method involves measuring optical properties of various points along a creped paper sheet and converting those measurements into characteristic defining data. The invention allows for determining the magnitude and distribution of crepe structures and their frequency and distribution. This allows for the generation of information that is accurate and is much more reliable than the coarse guessing that is currently used in the industry. Feeding this information to papermaking process equipment can result in increases in both quality and efficiency in papermaking.

  • Patent number: 9721177
    Abstract: During an information-extraction technique, visual suitability indicators may be displayed to a user of the electronic device to assist the user in acquiring an image of a document that is suitable for subsequent extraction of textual information. For example, an imaging application executed by the electronic device may display, in a window associated with the imaging application, a visual suitability indicator of a tilt orientation of the electronic device relative to a plane of the document. When the tilt orientation falls within a predefined range, the electronic device may modify the visual suitability indicators to provide visual feedback to the user. Then, the electronic device may acquire the image of the document using an imaging device, which is integrated into the electronic device. Next, the electronic device may extract the textual information from the image of the document using optical character recognition.
