  • Patent number: 12603550
    Abstract: A land vehicle wheel mounted electricity generator comprises a non-rotating axle secured to the land vehicle, a wheel rotatably mounted to the axle and rotatable about an axle longitudinal axis, inboard and outboard magnets secured to the wheel and rotatable therewith about the axle longitudinal axis, and one or more conductors secured to the non-rotating axle. The inboard and outboard magnets define a magnetic field space therebetween and the one or more conductors extend in the magnetic field space. As the inboard and outboard magnets rotate about the axle longitudinal axis and past the one or more conductors, electric current is induced in the one or more conductors. Preferably, the generator further comprises an inboard housing half mounted to the wheel and an outboard housing half mounted to the inboard housing half. The magnets are mounted to the housing halves and magnetic flux travels between magnets through the housing halves.

  • Patent number: 10860345
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a video and audio sentiment analysis system. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can capture video and audio of workflows while a game developer is working on a game development tool. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can use speech-to-text transcription to log requests and suggest help for a game developer. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can capture the recordings for a time period before the error occurs to provide the support team with a recording of the steps that led to the concern. The video and audio sentiment analysis system can package the video stream, transcription of audio, and user interface recordings to the development team such that the support system can replay the scenario of the user to get a full picture of the user's actions and concerns.

  • Patent number: 9440482
    Abstract: A drawing tool is provided for assisting artists in transcribing images onto a blank medium. The device is a drawing frame of geometrical shape and has a plurality of notches disposed along the outer perimeter length. These notches are channels cut out of the edge, forming protruding segments between any two notches. Protruding segments are used as anchor sites for a series of elastic threads. A portion of the threads is wound around protruding segments disposed on opposing dies of the frame body, thereby stretching the elastic thread across the front surface of the frame body. A first grouping of the threads is secured in parallel lateral alignment, while a second group is secured in a parallel longitudinal alignment. This configuration presents a grid pattern that can be laid over an image or blank piece of paper to serve as a guide for transcription.

  • Publication number: 20070010151
    Abstract: A ballistic composite comprises multiple layers of a fabric having unidirectional ballistic resistant yarns in at least two layers and a resin layer between each pair of such multiple layers adhered to the ballistic resistant yarns but not encapsulation the same and not penetrating the layer of fabric. The ballistic yarn layers are at 90°±5° with respect to each other and the ballistic resistant yarns are stabilized by being woven in a second fabric. The second fabric is formed of yarns having a substantially lower tenacity and tensile modulus than the ballistic resistant yarn. The ballistic resistant yarns have a tenacity of at least about 15 grams per denier and a modulus of at least about 40 grams per denier. The resin in the resin layer has a modulus of at least about 7000 psi.
