Abstract: A system for monitoring and optimizing an automation system with virtual objects presented on a display device having an at least partially transparent display. Statistics are calculated related to the motion of an automation system. Limitations to the motion of an automation system are calculated. The statistics or limitations are represented by virtual objects. The virtual objects are presented on the display in the user's field of view anchored in an extended reality environment near the real-world automation system.

Abstract: An independent cart system, including a track having multiple track segments and multiple movers operative to travel along the track, has a support system with a thermal transfer member and a support member for each track segment. The thermal transfer member transfers heat generated by switching devices mounted on a first surface to a second surface remote from the first surface. The switching devices selectively deliver current to coils spaced along each of the track segments. The support member has a base operative to engage a fixed location and a support extending away from the base. The support includes an inner surface, an outer surface, opposite the inner surface, and an upper surface proximate the second surface of the thermal transfer member. The upper surface is configured to engage a complementary surface, and the continuous surface and the complementary surface each have a smooth finish to provide contact therebetween.

Abstract: A method of making a polarizer can include applying a liquid with solid inorganic nanoparticles dispersed throughout a continuous phase, then forming this into a different phase including a solid, interconnecting network of the inorganic nanoparticles. This method can improve manufacturability and reducing manufacturing cost. This method can be used to provide an antireflective coating, to provide a protective coating on polarization structures, to provide thin films for optical properties, or to form the polarization structures themselves.

Abstract: An electronics housing assembly includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion removably connected to the first housing portion to define an interior space that contains electronics components. A first group of the electronics components is connected to the first housing portion and a second group of the electronics components is connected to the second housing portion. A connector alignment and retention panel is connected to the first housing portion. The connector alignment and retention panel includes a connector support platform with a first connector mounting location. A first electrical connector that is part of the first group of the electronics components is operatively engaged with the first connector mounting location of the panel such that the first electrical connector is mounted on the panel and located in a select position relative to the first housing portion.

Abstract: An optical device can comprise a subassembly with at least two different optical components in a stack. Each optical component can be a wavelength filter, a polarizer, or a waveplate. This stack can be a subassembly which can be manufactured separately from other components like CCD, CMOS, liquid crystal layer, electronic components, and electrodes. Consequently, this subassembly can be manufactured relatively inexpensively and with large variety of configurations. After first manufacturing the subassembly, it can then be attached to other components (e.g. CCD, CMOS, liquid crystal layer, electronic components, electrodes, etc.) to form the completed device (e.g. optical display, radiation detection, radiation measurement, imaging, etc.).

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to evaluate and select networks for transmission of messages from aircraft. An example apparatus includes a message analyzer to determine, based on a message type, an allowable delay associated with a first message to be transmitted during a flight. The apparatus includes a mapping data analyzer to generate, based on network map data collected during a prior flight, a forecast of network availability associated with a transmission of the first message, and a target network determiner to determine, based on the forecast of network availability, a target network for transmission of the first message, where the target network has a predicted availability at a time during the current flight within the allowable delay. The apparatus includes a message outputter to output, prior to the allowable delay, in response to the target network being available, the first message via the target network.
