  • Publication number: 20240123362
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for replacing a drive assembly. A system includes a bogie assembly comprising a wheel and a drive assembly configured to drive the wheel to roll on a top surface of a structure. The system further includes a translating cartridge movably mounted to a side surface of the structure. The translating cartridge pivots from a first orientation to a second orientation to couple with the drive assembly and decouple the drive assembly coupled to the translating cartridge from the bogie assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240124950
    Abstract: A method for heat treating a steel component includes heating the component to a temperature at or above the austenitizing temperature and holding the component at or above the austenitizing temperature for a time sufficient to at least partially austenitize the steel, cooling the component to a first temperature in a temperature range of 200° C. to 270° C. and holding the component in the temperature range for at most 6 hours, thereby transforming at least a portion of the austenite into bainite, cooling the component to a temperature of from ?30° C. to 30° C., thereby forming martensite; and reheating the component to a second temperature in the temperature range, holding the component in the temperature range for at most 6 hours and then cooling the component to a temperature of from ?30° C. to 30° C., thereby transforming a further portion of the austenite into bainite and forming tempered martensite.

  • Publication number: 20240070972
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for rendering a new image that depicts a scene from a perspective of a camera at a new camera location. In one aspect, a method comprises: receiving a plurality of observations characterizing the scene; generating a latent variable representing the scene from the plurality of observations characterizing the scene; conditioning a scene representation neural network on the latent variable representing the scene, wherein the scene representation neural network conditioned on the latent variable representing the scene defines a geometric model of the scene as a three-dimensional (3D) radiance field; and rendering the new image that depicts the scene from the perspective of the camera at the new camera location using the scene representation neural network conditioned on the latent variable representing the scene.

  • Patent number: 11857886
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for replacing a drive assembly of a turntable load station. A system includes a structural pier, a track formed on a top surface of the structural pier, a turntable, a bogie assembly detachably coupled to an underside of the turntable, the bogie assembly including a wheeled drive assembly, a swap rail mounted to a radial side surface of the structural pier, and a translating cartridge movably mounted to the swap rail in a serviceable orientation. The translating cartridge is configured to move along the radial side surface of the structural pier via the swap rail while in the serviceable orientation to an unloading position underneath the bogie assembly, pivot from the serviceable orientation to an upright functional orientation to couple with the wheeled drive assembly, and decouple the wheeled drive assembly from the bogie assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230019970
    Abstract: An oral care system with coaching features. The oral care system may include indicator units to indicate to a user when plaque is present on the oral surfaces and to indicate to a user when it is time to move to a different area of the oral cavity for cleaning. The oral care system may include a feature whereby a user can silence the indicator function so as not to be alerted of the detection of plaque or other oral maladies during a cleaning session. The oral care system may include a light ring which surrounds a button on the handle to inform a user about the amount of time elapsed during a cleaning session.

  • Patent number: 11484253
    Abstract: An oral care implement including a handle and an oral care refill head. The handle has a gripping portion, an engagement component coupled to a distal end of the gripping portion, and a stem. The engagement component includes a plate portion and a first engagement feature. The stem extends through an opening in the engagement component and protrudes from the plate portion. The oral care refill head includes an oral care treatment portion and a sleeve portion. The sleeve portion has an inner surface that defines a sleeve cavity having a cavity axis and a second engagement feature. When the oral care refill head is detachably coupled to the handle, the first and second engagement features mate with one another to at least one of: (1) position the oral care refill head and the handle in an operational alignment; and (2) lock the oral care refill head to the handle.

  • Publication number: 20220327754
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an animated figure display system includes an animated figure having a body and a first tracker coupled to the body. The animated figure display system includes a projection surface having a second tracker coupled to the projection surface. The projection surface moves between a first position and a second position and the projection surface is at least partially concealed behind the animated figure in the first position. The animated figure display system includes a tracking camera that detects the first tracker and the second tracker and generates location data. A controller receives the location data and generates a control signal based on the location data. A projector receives the control signal indicative of image content from the controller and projects the image content onto the body of the animated figure and the external surface of the projection surface.

  • Patent number: 10936447
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for performing a failover between a first storage system and a second storage system. Data is synchronized between the first storage system and the second storage system. A failover is performed from the first storage system to the second storage system in response to a failover event at the first storage system while synchronizing the data. A determination is made that a first storage unit of the first storage system is inoperable and that that a second storage unit of the first storage system is operable in response to the failover event. In response to determining that the second storage unit is operable, a resynchronization is initiated to copy updates to a second storage unit of the second storage system mirroring the second storage unit of the first storage system to the second storage unit of the first storage system.
