  • Patent number: 10444961
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and systems for enabling “hover-based” interaction with content that is rendered on a display of a viewing device. A process may include rendering content on a display, detecting an object hovering in front of a front surface of the display, and in response to detecting the object, determining a location on the front surface of the display corresponding to a position of the object. The determined location on the front surface of the display may then be used to determine a portion of the content that is rendered at the location or within a threshold distance from the location, and a magnified window of the portion of the content may then be displayed in a region of the display. The portion of the content within the magnified window may be actionable by responding to user input when the user input is provided within the magnified window.

  • Patent number: 10428842
    Abstract: A triplex pneumatic architecture system is disclosed having first, second, and third pneumatic subsystems where triplex redundancy may be accomplished by measuring only one particular node in each system, such as a measured current of the servo valve. Each of the first, second, and third pneumatic subsystems are configured to control a separate redundant pneumatic actuation assembly. Each subsystem may comprise a current sensor to measure a control current from a servo driver to a servo valve that controls the pneumatic actuation assembly to output a measured current value, and a dump valve coupled to a relay. Each processor is configured to generate a termination signal to actuate the first relay to open the first dump valve. The triplex pneumatic architecture system further includes a communication bus to communicatively couple each of the first, second, and third pneumatic subsystems.
