  • Patent number: 12286015
    Abstract: Powertrain, including an inverter unit, inverter housing, electric motor, electric motor housing, and a reducing gear. The inverter unit having an inverter configured for converting direct current to alternating current. The inverter housing defining an inverter housing interior volume accommodating the inverter. The reducing gear unit has a reducing gear and a reducing gear cover surrounding the reducing gear. The reducing gear defines an output reducing gear axis that is parallel to the motor axis. The reducing gear cover and the inverter housing are arranged at opposite ends of the electric motor with respect to the motor axis. The inverter housing includes a cut-out that defines a cut-out region fully contained within a convex hull of the inverter housing, wherein the cut-out region is disjoint from the inverter housing interior volume. The output reducing gear axis passes through the cut-out region without passing through the inverter housing interior volume.

  • Publication number: 20250095203
    Abstract: Method for creating marker-based shared augmented reality (AR) session starts with initializing a shared AR session by a first device and by a second device. The first device displays on a display a marker. The second device detects the marker using a camera included in the second device and captures an image of the marker using the camera. The second device determines a transformation between the first device and the second device using the image of the marker. A common coordinate frame is then determined using the transformation, the shared AR session is generated using the common coordinate frame, and the shared AR session is caused to be displayed by the first device and by the second device. Other embodiments are described herein.
