  • Patent number: 10572133
    Abstract: Technologies described herein provide a mixed environment display of attached control elements. The techniques disclosed herein enable users of a first computing device to interact with a remote computing device configured to control an object, such as a light, appliance, or any other suitable object. Configurations disclosed herein enable the first computing device to cause one or more actions, such as a selection of the object or the display of a user interface, by capturing and analyzing input data defining the performance of one or more gestures, such as a user looking at the object controlled by the second computing device. Rendered graphical elements configured to enable the control of the object can be displayed with a real-world view of the object.

  • Patent number: 5379748
    Abstract: A bow sight is adapted to be mounted to a bow string and includes a base portion adapted to engage the bow string. A tab is mounted to a top edge of the base portion such that a large, open viewing area is provided above a top edge of the tab. A rear surface of the tab can be of a relatively bright color for providing targeting accuracy in relatively low light intensity environments. Alternatively, the rear surface of the tab can include an illuminating device such as a light emitting diode (LED) for illuminating the tab.
