  • Publication number: 20180150931
    Abstract: A computing device has a CPU and a digital camera configured to capture a digital image of a portion of a machine and send the digital image to the CPU for processing. An interactive display of the computing device renders the digital image. An augmented reality processing module detects a target point located on the machine and appearing within the digital image, generates an augmented reality image including information relevant to the portion of the machine included in the digital image, determines a position and orientation of the augmented reality image relative to the target point, and overlays the augmented reality image on the digital image relative to the target point in a relationship based on the determined position and orientation.

  • Patent number: 9652709
    Abstract: Protocols, systems, and methods are disclosed for two or more RFID tags to communicate with each other and a device using direct connections. A disclosed system includes a first RFID tag, a second RFID tag, and a device. The first and second RFID tags are configured to mate to each other and directly exchange information. The second RFID tag is further configured to directly exchange information with the device such that information received directly at the second RFID tag from the first RFID tag may then be directly exchanged with the device. The first RFID tag may send a first tag identification directly from the first RFID tag to the second RFID tag. The second RFID tag may then send a first acknowledgement to the first RFID tag if the first tag identification was correctly received by the second RFID tag.

  • Patent number: 9594223
    Abstract: Opto-electrical connection systems including opto-electrical cables providing configurable connectivity between electrical devices having electrical interfaces are disclosed. Related assemblies and methods are also disclosed. By using configurable connection assemblies having at least one configurable connection device adapted to accept optical connectors of optical fibers of opto-electrical cables, many electrical devices having electrical interfaces may be configurably connected. For example, the configurable opto-electrical connection system may be configured to provide more bandwidth and/or connect electrical devices with less power consumption than would be associated with conventional copper cabling solutions. In this manner, the high bandwidth, lower power consumption, and long distance signal capability of optical fibers may be provided to connect electronic devices which were originally designed with electrical interfaces meant to be connected with copper cables.

  • Patent number: 9567724
    Abstract: A lifting arrangement for a construction machine is provided which includes a main arm (3) which is provided with a pivot connector (4). The pivot connector (4) is pivotably supported on a main arm support means (6). The main arm support means (6) is moveable in a direction which includes at least a component in the front-rear direction with respect to a frame arrangement of a construction machine to which the lifting arrangement can be applied. Based on a control of a main arm actuating element (11) and an auxiliary actuating element (21), a path of an equipment connector (5) upon moving said main arm (3) between a lowered position and a lifted position can be achieved which follows a predetermined path.

  • Patent number: 9563832
    Abstract: Excess radio-frequency (RF) power storage and power sharing RF Identification (RFID) tags, and related RFID tag connection systems and methods are disclosed. The excess RF power storage and power sharing RFID tags and related RFID tag connection systems and methods in embodiments disclosed herein allow connected RFID tags to store excess energy derived from excess received RF power in a shared energy storage device. In this manner, an individual RFID tag or a group of connected RFID tags in the RFID tag connection system can continue operation during temporary times when sufficient RF power is not being received from a RFID reader. Sharing stored energy derived from excess received RF power in a shared energy storage device among connected RFID tags in a RFID tag connection system can significantly mitigate problems of RF power interruption.

  • Patent number: 9159012
    Abstract: A passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) system has an RFID reader that communicates with and provides power to an RFID tag. The RFID tag has an RFID integrated circuit chip that contains a memory device for storing information to be transmitted to the RFID reader, and energy storage device that stores energy for powering the integrated circuit chip. In the event that the RFID tag is activated during periods when the RFID integrated circuit chip is not receiving sufficient energy from the RFID reader, then either an energy storage device is provided to allow the activation event to be recorded at the RFID integrated circuit chip, or a memory device is provided that senses and records the activation event and communicates this activation event once power has been restored.
