  • Patent number: 11937929
    Abstract: Behavioral and mental health therapy systems in accordance with several embodiments of the invention include a wearable camera and/or a variety of sensors (accelerometer, microphone, among various other) connected to a computing system including a display, audio output, holographic output, and/or vibrotactile output to automatically recognize social cues from images captured by at least one camera and provide this information to the wearer via one or more outputs such as (but not limited to) displaying an image, displaying a holographic overlay, generating an audible signal, and/or generating a vibration.

  • Patent number: 4986071
    Abstract: A source of pressurized hydraulic fluid has a variable fluid output rate and a control system which varies the fluid output rate responsive to a load sense control signal, e.g., a variable displacement pump. The pressurized fluid is made available to a plurality of hydraulic actuators through a corresponding plurality of work control valves. A load sense line is utilized to sense the pressure of the fluid in each hydraulic actuator and to apply a total load sense signal to the control system. A conduit containing a pressure reducing valve provides fluid communication between the output of the source of fluid and the load sense line to pass fluid therethrough to the load sense line only when the pressure in the load sense line is less than a predetermined value. Maintaining at least this minimum pressure in the load sense line minimizes lag in the load sense signal which would otherwise occur as a result of the loss of fluid in the load sense line due to the bleeding of the load sense line.

  • Patent number: 4844217
    Abstract: A brake-transmission system (10) is provided for a vehicle having a transmission system (14) including a transmission (18) and a brake system (12) including brakes (64, 66, 68, 70). The system (10) includes a first fluid reservoir (18, 20) associated with the transmission system (14) for supplying fluid to the transmission system (14). A second fluid reservoir (16) is associated with the brake system (12) for supplying fluid to the brake system (12). Structure (24, 26, 32, 34, 54) is provided for establishing a fluid communication path from the transmission system (14) to the second fluid reservoir (16). Structure (86, 88) is also provided to establish a fluid communication path from the brakes (64, 66, 68, 70) to the first fluid reservoir (18, 20).
