Abstract: A device can include one or more sensors configured to output sensor data, and a trigger detection module configured to receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors and to determine whether a trigger event has occurred. The trigger detection module can be configured to output a trigger detection signal when the trigger event is detected. The trigger detection signal can be configured to be used by an augmented reality or virtual reality system to cause an augmented reality or virtual reality event.

Abstract: A short-range wireless device includes a short-range data transmission component transmitting data at a first signal strength. A movement detection device provides an indication that a work tool supporting the short-range wireless device is in a coupled configuration with a machine, or is intended to be coupled with the machine. A processor reduces the first signal strength to a second signal strength in response to the indication. The short-range data transmission component then transmits data at the second signal strength.

Abstract: A system and method to access a machine through a mobile device includes sending a machine key to a controller on-board the machine, and a mobile device key to the mobile device using a remote server. The mobile device sends a mobile device ID to the controller. The controller determines the mobile device key based on the mobile device ID and the machine key. The controller sends a random number to the mobile device. The mobile device processes the random number to derive a first processed random number, and sends the first processed random number to the controller. The controller processes the random number to derive a second processed random number. The controller enables a start button to send a request to start the machine, when the first processed random number matches the second processed random number. The controller starts the machine upon receiving the request to start the machine.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collaborative construction planning are provided herein. An example method includes establishing a milestone or completion event for a construction project plan, assembling the construction project plan by defining activities for the milestone or completion event. Each of the activities is associated with a team member which accomplishes a given activity, and arranging the activities in reverse chronological order starting with the milestone or completion event, according to an order of dependency of execution of activities. The method also includes displaying the construction project plan in such a way that the activities are illustrated to show the order of dependency between activities.

Abstract: Attachment of electrical junction box mounts to junction box by a single step or through a single motion. Mounts may be constructed as a single part. Electrical junction box ceiling mount includes a spanning element for traversing an acoustical ceiling tile and a support element connected to the spanning element. The support element includes a fastener adapted to engage a sidewall of an electrical junction box, including one or more faces of the sidewall. The support element may also include a bracket configured to support a portion of a rim of the front opening of the electrical junction box. The fastener may include a bracket configured for an interference fit with the sidewall of the electrical junction box. The fastener may also include a bracket adapted to engage an outside face of the sidewall on opposing sides of the electrical junction box.

Abstract: A device for accurately dispensing a volume of fluid that is predetermined by limiting the outward travel distance of a plunger within a fluid chamber. The plunger limit stop is attached to a scale post having raised indicia lines and is adjustable therealong by a detent engagement wherein the limit stop is selectively positioned to engage one of a plurality of notches formed on the scale post between its volume indicia raised lines.
