  • Publication number: 20260133093
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to chain monitoring systems and methods. In particular, the chain monitoring system is configured to mount onto a portion of a chain and measure one or more parameters associated with one or more characteristics of the chain. The measured parameters are processed by the chain monitoring system and/or transmitted to a remote system for analysis. The analysis may be used to determine a characteristic and/or change in the characteristic of the chain. In some examples, the characteristic is an elongation value associated with the chain, which can be transmitted to a networked system for analysis, display, and/or control. In some examples, a sensor can be employed to measure one or more characteristics of the chain. The sensor may include, but is not limited to, a strain gauge, an accelerometer, an optical, a sonic, and/or a magnetic sensor.

  • Publication number: 20260061862
    Abstract: An industrial battery design for use in a material handling vehicle. The battery includes a controller and a charger connector port connectable to a charger device to charge the battery. The charger connector port includes a proximity sensor and a temperature sensor communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller includes circuitry configured to prevent movement of the material handling vehicle when the proximity sensor indicates that the charger device is connected to the charger connector port, provide an indication of an incomplete connection between the charger device and the charger connector port based on data received from the proximity sensor, and provide an indication indicating that the charger connector port has a change in condition based on temperature data received from the temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20260016905
    Abstract: A multi-System on Chip (SoC) hand-tracking platform is provided. The multi-SoC hand-tracking platform includes a computer vision SoC and one or more application SoCs. The computer vision SoC hosts a hand-tracking input pipeline. The one or more application SoCs host one or more applications that are consumers of input event data generated by the hand-tracking input pipeline. The applications communicate with some components of the hand-tracking input pipeline using a shared-memory buffer and with some of the components of the hand-tracking input pipeline using Inter-Process Communication (IPC) method calls.

  • Publication number: 20250355284
    Abstract: Eyewear providing a visual indicator to a hearing-impaired user indicating a direction of arrival of a sound relative to the eyewear to help the user obtain greater awareness of the surrounding environment. An eyewear optical assembly includes an image display displaying the visual indicator discernable by the user and corresponding to the direction of arrival of the sound, even when a sound source is not viewable through the optical assembly. The image display also displays an image indicative of the sound source. A front portion of an eyewear frame includes a light array, where one or more lights of the light array is illuminated to indicate the direction of arrival and intensity of the sound source. An array of vibrating devices may also be used to indicate the direction of arrival and intensity of the sound source.

  • Publication number: 20250203315
    Abstract: An electronic eyewear device includes a display and a speaker system adapted to present augment reality objects and associated sounds in a scene being viewed by the user. A processor receives one or more audio tracks respectively associated with one or more augmented reality objects, encodes the audio tracks into an aggregated audio track including the audio tracks, a header for each audio track that uniquely identifies each respective audio track, and an aggregate header that identifies the number of tracks in the aggregated audio track. The processor transfers the aggregated audio track to an audio processor that uses the header for each audio track and the aggregate header to separate the audio tracks from the aggregated audio track. The audio processor processes the audio tracks independently in parallel and provides the audio tracks to the speaker system for presentation with the augmented reality objects.
