  • Patent number: 9189145
    Abstract: In a method to unlock a touch screen of an electronic device, a press operation is received from the touch screen pressed by a user. The touch screen includes an unlocking interface. The method determines whether the press operation is within a press area of the unlocking interface. When the press operation is within the press area, the method further controls an indicator of the unlocking interface to move at a default speed, and locates a stop position of the indicator on the touch screen when the indicator stops moving. The method unlocks the touch screen when the stop position is within a predefined area of the unlocking interface.

  • Publication number: 20150314447
    Abstract: A machine has at least one actuated mechanism is remotely located from a control station. A two way real-time communication link connects the machine location with the control station. A controller at the machine location has program code that is configured to determine from data from one or more sensors at the machine location if an actual fault has occurred in the machine when the machine is performing its predetermined function and to determine for an actual fault one or more types for the fault and transmit the one or more fault types to the control station for analysis. The code in the controller is configured to be a preprogrammed trap routine specific to the machine function that is automatically executed when an error in machine operation is detected at the machine location. The controller also has a default trap routine that is executed when specific routine does not exist.

  • Publication number: 20150314448
    Abstract: A machine remotely located from a control station has at least one actuated mechanism. A two way real-time communication link connects the machine location with the control station. A controller at the machine location has program code that includes an instruction which when executed transfers control of the machine from the controller to the control station. The program code can have a task frame associated with the predetermined function performed by the machine with the task frame divided into a first set controlled by the controller and a second set controlled from the control station. The system can also have two or more remotely located control stations only one of which can control the machine at a given time.

  • Publication number: 20150298318
    Abstract: A machine that has at least one actuated mechanism is remotely located from a control station. A two way real-time communication link connects the machine location with the control station. An interface at the control station allows an operator to select one or more virtual constraints on operation of the machine when the machine is performing a predetermined function. The virtual constraints are transmitted over the two way real-time communication link to the machine location. The machine has predetermined safety limits that are stored in a controlling device at the machine location. The stored predetermined safety limits are extracted and automatically mapped to the control station using the two way real-time communication link. The controlling device maps the predetermined safety limits to the virtual constraints.

  • Patent number: 9132551
    Abstract: A teleoperated robot system has a watchdog to determine if the rate of data transmission from a computing device such as a robot controller located in the station used by the operator of the teleoperated robot to the remotely located industrial robot has fallen below a minimum data rate or the time for transmission of data has exceeded a maximum time. Upon the occurrence of either or both of the foregoing, one or more types of corrective action are undertaken to bring the teleoperated robot and the processes performed by the robot.

  • Publication number: 20150003058
    Abstract: An improved LED light bulb apparatus mounted within existing incandescent bulb socket including at least two LED strip elements located inside an outer bulb shell and connected to a PCB made of glass fiber located inside an optional connecting piece. Each LED strip element extend upward and into the interior space formed in the outer bulb shell. Each LED strip element includes a straight or curved elongated body covered with colloidal silica with at least LED bulb mounted on its distal end. Two wire electrodes extend longitudinally on the body and connect at one end to the LED bulb and at an opposite end to the PCB or to an intermediate adapter that connects to the PCB. When more than one LED strip element is used, each element diverges into the interior space so the LED bulbs are at the same elevation and on opposite sides of the bulb's longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20140308983
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a called recovery method, including: receiving, by a target mobile switching center MSC, a provide roaming number PRN message sent by a backup MSC corresponding to a faulty MSC, where the PRN message carries an instruction for initiating paging to a called terminal through a mobility management entity MME; and performing international mobile subscriber identity IMSI paging according to the instruction, so that an MME to which a called terminal is attached controls the called terminal to perform circuit switched fallback CSFB to complete a called connection. Correspondingly, the embodiments of the present invention further provide a mobile switching center and a called recovery system. This solves a problem that in an MSC pool architecture, called paging in a CS domain cannot be performed when a terminal corresponding to a faulty MSC is attached to an E-UTRAN, and improves paging reliability.
