  • Patent number: 11360184
    Abstract: Sensor receiver nulls and null steering. One example embodiment is method in which a direction from a sensor position to a noise source is determined. A coordinate rotation is applied to a first set of signal values, wherein each signal value of the first set of signal values is based on an output of a corresponding component of a three-component particle motion sensor at the sensor position. The applying generates a rotated set of signal values. The coordinate rotation comprises a coordinate rotation transforming a first set of coordinate axes to a second set of coordinate axes, wherein the first set of coordinate axes has each coordinate axis aligned with a corresponding component of the three-component particle motion sensor at the sensor position, and the second set of coordinate axes comprises a first axis pointed in a direction opposite the direction from the sensor position to the noise source.

  • Patent number: 9223395
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for viewing presentations in a condensed animation mode in which a presentation program condenses or accelerates animations or effects within the presentation while maintaining the animations and effects associated with the presentation. The presentation program is configured to enter into a condensed animation mode and to render a slide of the presentation. In some embodiments, the presentation program waits for user input before playing an accelerated or condensed version of the animations and/or effects. In other embodiments, the presentation program plays the condensed or accelerated version upon rendering the slide without requiring further user input. If user input is received, the presentation program can be configured to wait for the animation sequence to complete before proceeding to the next slide and/or can interrupt playback of the animation sequence and proceed to the next slide of the presentation immediately.

  • Publication number: 20140173442
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a presenter view in a presentation application. A determination is made, by a presentation application executing on a computer, as to whether a secondary display device is coupled to the computer. If a determination is made that the secondary display device is coupled to the computer, then the presentation application is transformed from a default configuration to a presenter configuration. If a determination has been made that the presentation is complete, then the presentation application is transformed from a presenter configuration to a default configuration.

  • Publication number: 20130097552
    Abstract: A presentation program provides an authoring tool allowing users to indicate animation sequences to be applied to an object in a document for purposes of creating or editing animation sequences. The user can directly manipulate the object on an editing pane, and the manipulations are interpreted as applying an animation class type. Different animation effects can be further associated with object for the particular animation class type. The user can select a particular animation effect and define the layout as a key frame that defines the animation sequence to be applied to the object at a given time during playback. The user can further manipulate the object and define subsequent key frames, and upon playback, the presentation program will interpolate the locations of the object between key frames as necessary. The user can further define the time period between key frames that is to be applied during playback.

  • Patent number: 5685407
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission device which is located between the crankshaft of an engine and a clutch and is designed with a flexible plate in contact with the crankshaft, and which can be connected to the flexible plate by means of connecting elements which are engaged from the crankshaft side via the flexible plate in a fastening element of the clutch and have a retaining part for the flexible plate, so that the installation of the fastening element and the flexible plate can be performed as quickly as possible and without causing any damage. For this purpose, the connecting elements with their retaining parts for the installation of the flexible plate project from the fastening element by a distance which exceeds the thickness of the flexible plate.

  • Patent number: 5634542
    Abstract: A friction clutch/flywheel assembly includes a flywheel with a predetermined diametral area designed to hold a preferably cylindrical wall of a basin-shaped clutch housing, so that the clutch housing does not rotate and is also secured against axial movement with respect to the flywheel. The assembly is designed so that there is a clamping device allocated to at least one of the flywheel or the clutch housing, which clamping device is designed to be located in the contact area between the cylindrical wall of the clutch housing and the predetermined diametral area of the flywheel. By means of this clamping device, the flywheel and clutch housing can be held in a non-positive connection with one another.
