  • Publication number: 20240257430
    Abstract: A method includes: presenting a posture summary interface including: a representation of the user, a visualization of a current accumulated strain value for the user, and a first affordance for initiating an animated posture summary associated with the accumulated strain value for the user over a respective time window; and in response to detecting a user input directed to the first affordance within the posture summary interface, presenting an animation of the representation of the user over the respective time window that corresponds to one or more instances in which head pose information changes associated with the user caused an increase or a decrease to the accumulated strain value greater than a significance threshold, wherein an appearance of the visualization of the current accumulated strain value for the user changes to represent the accumulated strain value for the user over the respective time window.

  • Patent number: 8085493
    Abstract: A tape library is provided with a fixed coupling mechanism so that the tape library includes discrete locations via which power and communication are provided to an accessor. The use of such a coupling mechanism in a vertical tape library allows for the use of gravity to ensure that the accessor can couple with the fixed coupling mechanism even when no power is present in the accessor.

  • Patent number: 7626895
    Abstract: A removable media battery pack for supplying power to a media accessor of an automated data storage library. A media shell of the removable media battery pack has a structural configuration operable to be physically engaged by a media shell gripper of the media accessor. A rechargeable battery of the removable media battery pack is disposed within the media shell. A media shell interface of the removable media battery pack is integrated with the media shell and coupled to the rechargeable battery to provide power to the media accessor.

  • Patent number: 7012394
    Abstract: The invention is a battery powered source for an air handling system that provides subsurface aeration services when an available power source provides insufficient power. The system comprises a subsurface aeration duct, a motor, an air pump, a storage battery, a battery charger, and a control circuit responsive to commands. The control circuit is operatively coupled to the storage battery to control a connection of the storage battery to provide power to the motor. In response to a command, the control circuit connects the storage battery to provide power to the motor, and the storage battery provides sufficient power to operate the motor and air pump satisfactorily for operation of an air handling system used for subsurface aeration. The system further comprises a reversing valve to provide air under pressure with air flow in a first direction, and partial vacuum with air flow in a second direction.

  • Patent number: 4955575
    Abstract: A pedestal-type mounting assembly for a vehicle seat having a floor plate structure adapted for fixed attachment to the vehicle floor, and a pedestal assembly adapted for hinged or fixed connection to the floor plate structure. The pedestal assembly has a bottom plate which is normally supportably engaged directly on the floor plate structure, and a pedestal projects upwardly from the bottom plate and has a top structure adapted for connection in a conventional manner to a vehicle seat. A hinge structure releasably connects the floor and bottom plates adjacent one edge thereof for defining a horizontal hinge axis to permit tilting of the seat when desired. The hinged structure involves cantilevered hinge pins engaged within hinge support tubes. A manually-releasable lock structure cooperates between the bottom and floor plates adjacent the other edge to fixedly lock the pedestal assembly to the floor plate. When this lock is released, then the seat can be tilted about the hinged axis.
