Publication number: 20180096531Abstract: A system for displaying augmented reality content includes an intelligent tool and a wearable-computing device. The intelligent tool is configured to obtain at least one measurement of an object using at least one sensor mounted to the intelligent tool, and communicate the at least one measurement to a device in communication with the intelligent tool. The intelligent tool may further include a camera, and the at least one measurement includes an image acquired with the at least one camera. The intelligent tool may also include a biometric module configured to obtain a biometric measurement from a user of the intelligent tool. One or more modules of the intelligent tool may be powered based on the biometric measurement. The wearable-computing device includes a display affixed to the wearable-computing device, such that augmented reality content based on the obtained at least one measurement is displayed on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2016Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Philip Andrew Greenhalgh, Adrian Stannard, Bradley Hayes, Colm Murphy

Publication number: 20180096530Abstract: An intelligent tool is configured to communicate with a wearable computing device to provide information that the wearable computing device uses to generate and/or display augmented reality content to a user of the wearable computing device. The intelligent tool includes a handle for a user to grip an intelligent tool, an engagement portion coupled to the handle, the engagement portion being configured to engage with an object, at least one sensor mounted to the engagement portion, the sensor configured to obtain information associated with the object, and one or more hardware processors in communication with the at least one sensor configured to store the obtained information. The intelligent tool may also include a power source configured to provide electrical power to the at least one sensor and the one or more hardware processors. The intelligent tool may also include a light source that emits a light to illuminate an object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2016Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Philip Andrew Greenhalgh, Adrian Stannard, Bradley Hayes, Colm Murphy

Publication number: 20140349154Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at a cell carrier, a stack that includes multiple cell carriers, and a method for assembling the stack. The cell carrier has a rigid backing and bus bar supports that are rigidly mounted to the rigid backing. The bus bar supports have sockets positioned to receive fasteners for securing bus bars to the bus bar supports. A battery cell that has electrodes in the form of pliable tabs can be secured to the cell carrier by, for example, adhering the cell body to the rigid backing. The cell tabs are secured between the bus bars and the bus bar supports when bus bars are fastened to the bus bar supports, and the rigidly mounted supports help prevent relative motion between the cell body and tabs. This helps prevent the cell tabs from ripping or tearing when the battery cell is subjected to vibrations during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Hoang Phu NGUYEN, Johannes Christian KRUGER, Brent Anthony PERRY, Colm MURPHY

Patent number: 6164497Abstract: A paint colorant dispenser has a notched gauge rod on a stop member. The notched gauge rod can be easily replaced to change the units of measure for the paint colorant dispenser and is also inexpensive to manufacture. A double notch at an extreme end of the gauge rod facilitates accurate metering of small quantities of paint colorant. The dispenser has a spool valve which includes a resilient sealing member which is biased against an inner surface of a valve bore by a strong spring. The sealing member provides a good seal and accommodates wear without leakage. With the exception of the spring, the valve may be made of plastic. The valve does not need to be manufactured to extremely precise tolerances. The paint colorant dispenser has a wiper assembly coupled to operate with the valve. The wiper assembly includes a resiliently mounted wiper which closes off a lower end of the nozzle except when the valve is set to dispense paint colorant through the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1999Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: H.E.R.O. Industries, a division of Middlefield Bancorp LimitedInventors: Julian Chia, Colm Murphy

Patent number: 5991542Abstract: Disk images, and the like, are used to emulate storage volumes for the distribution of computer software. An image of a data storage volume, such as a hard disk drive, is stored in a file having a format that enables it to exhibit a behavior which is the same as the storage volume itself. The image files are accessed by means of an associated driver which can support a variety of different file system protocols, thereby permitting the files themselves to be independent of the format requirements of particular file systems. The data in the image file can be compressed in a manner such that a storage volume being emulated appears to be of a specified size, while actually requiring less space to store its contents. With these properties, the image files can be mounted in the manner of a hardware storage device, and large files can be readily transmitted and downloaded in an electronic format.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1996Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Byron B. Han, James F. Kateley, Colm Murphy, Kenneth Fitzgerald-Smith
