  • Patent number: 9992517
    Abstract: Some of the various features described herein include providing an enhanced view of content. Some content may be cropped or edited for general transmission, and a primary- or second-screen device may be used to receive and view additional views or portions of content that may otherwise be unavailable. For example, if a cropped portion of content is delivered to a device, a different device may be used to view at least a portion of the content that was removed during the cropping process. Another aspect may include providing a higher-resolution version of content to a second-screen device.

  • Publication number: 20180121225
    Abstract: Pooled virtual machine load balancers are described. A system determines whether a number of virtual machine load balancers that are in a pool is less than a specified number. The system creates a calculated number of virtual machine load balancers for the pool if the number of virtual machine load balancers that are in the pool is less than the specified number, the calculated number being equal to the specified number minus the number of virtual machine load balancers that are in the pool. The system receives a request to create a virtual machine environment that requires at least one virtual machine load balancer. The system allocates a virtual machine load balancer from the pool to the virtual machine environment.

  • Patent number: 9958947
    Abstract: A position within displayed digital content that a user is ocularly focused on (e.g., where within displayed content the user is looking) may be determined. Digital content comprising a visual indication of the position may be rendered. The visual indication of the position may be displayed on the same display that the user is looking at and/or a different display. In some embodiments, the position may be determined based on data generated by a sensor physically attached to the user. Additionally or alternatively, the position may be determined based on data generated by a stationary computing device comprising a sensor configured to track changes in ocular position of the user. In some embodiments the digital content may comprise digital images and/or video (e.g., broadcast content, on-demand content, images and/or video associated with a computer application, or the like).

  • Publication number: 20180113047
    Abstract: An online real time steam or gas turbine engine rotor balancing system is incorporated in a rotor balance plane. A selectively displaceable balancing weight is coupled to the rotor and is selectively displaced by a motor that is coupled to the balancing weight. The motor selectively displaces the balancing weight along a displacement path that is in the balance plane. A turbine engine rotor vibration monitoring system monitors rotor vibration in real-time. A control system is coupled to rotor vibration monitoring system and the motor, for determining in real time a desired balance weight displacement position to counteract the monitored rotor vibration. The controller selectively causes the motor to displace the balancing weight to the desired displacement position. The motor power source is an inductive power source or a permanent magnet generator.

  • Publication number: 20180114505
    Abstract: A method of processing image data for display by a display panel of a display device comprises receiving image pixel data representing an image. In a first mode, the method performs a first mapping of the image pixel data to drive signals, each drive signal for driving a respective pixel or group of pixels of the display panel. The first mapping is arranged to produce an on-axis luminance pattern which is dependent mainly on the image pixel data and an off-axis luminance pattern which is wholly or substantially independent of the image pixel data.

  • Patent number: 9910093
    Abstract: A device and method for detecting and analyzing faults in a generator stator are disclosed. The device and method include measuring a direct current component of a neutral ground current in a generator stator grounding conductor, analyzing the direct current flow and comparing it with other ground fault indicators, and providing diagnosis and recommended actions based on the analysis. The direct current flow is measured by a sensitive direct current sensor that may also measure AC components via oscillations in the current measurement, such as a Hall Effect sensor, placed on the generator stator grounding conductor. The analysis of the direct current signal includes consideration of the generator operating conditions and environmental conditions, and also includes comparison to historical data representing both normal and abnormal operation of the generator. Alarms and advisories are provided when generator faults are detected or predicted.

  • Publication number: 20180026498
    Abstract: A shaft grounding system and a method for ground a shaft are presented. The shaft grounding system includes a shaft grounding assembly. An insulation layer may be arranged in the shaft grounding assembly that splits the shaft grounding assembly to a first part and a second part. The first part includes a measurement circuit having high impedance such that virtually all current of the shaft travels through the second part. The shaft grounding system with the split shaft grounding assembly provides an accurate shaft voltage measurement due to the high impedance of the measuring circuit. The shaft grounding system presented is very low cost, installs using the existing shaft ground mounting components, and allows condition based maintenance of the shaft grounding system.

  • Publication number: 20180017840
    Abstract: A switchable reflective colour filter is provided for use in a display device. The switchable reflective colour filter includes a plurality of sub-pixel regions of at least two colour types, each including a layer of phase change material which is switchable between a first state and a second state, the first and second states being two solid but structurally distinct states having different optical properties. Each sub-pixel region further includes two electrode layers, a mirror layer, and a spacer layer or air gap. The phase change material layer in each sub-pixel region is positioned between the two electrode layers, and separated from the mirror layer by the spacer layer or air gap. The switchable reflective colour filter may be incorporated into a display device including a pixelated switchable absorber.

  • Publication number: 20170285086
    Abstract: A system that applies a counteracting voltage or current to a rotating shaft to minimize a grounding voltage signal of the shaft, measures and analyzes the counteracting signal, and provides expert system logic that compares prior learned waveforms and models of baseline, fault, and degradation waveforms to operational waveforms to determine and predict faults and degradation events. Self-learning logic analyzes the operational waveforms to look for changes, and finds or predicts fault and degradation events in relation to archived characteristics of earlier waveforms. It then adds characteristics of predictive waveforms to the database of model waveforms, and updates rules and thresholds in the expert logic based on the found predictors. It may further calculate and continuously refine a counteracting signal waveform to minimize the shaft grounding waveform.
