Abstract: The self-adaptive self-locking clamping apparatus comprises a pair of arms pivotally interconnected to each other via a fulcrum either in the middle or on one end of the pair of arms, forming a pair of jaws with at least a variable gap for load, a fulcrum and a pair of handles for effort. The pair of handles engage with each other via a pawl and ratchet mechanism to achieve directional self-locking function, so that the clamping force applied to the pair of handles are maintained after such clamping force is removed. The self-locking pawl and ratchet engagement is self-adaptive to the geometric deformation of the pair of arms resulted from the elastic deformation caused by the clamping force, creating a firm locking grip so that a user does not have to keep maintaining the clamping force while in operation.

Abstract: The self-locking and adjustable dual ratchet clamping apparatus comprises a frame which is either a single rail or a dual rail structure having an integral ratchet rack on a side, a fixed jaw at one end of the frame, a movable jaw mounted on the frame and moves along the rail structure relative to the fixed jaw, a first ratchet system including a rotatable ratchet trigger pivotally connected to the movable jaw and is engaged with a locking pawl supported by the movable jaw to form a directional self-locking mechanism, a second ratchet system including a driving pawl engaged with the ratchet rack to form another directional self-locking mechanism, and a cascading mechanism connecting the first and second ratchet systems whereby the rotation of the rotatable ratchet trigger drives the movement of the driving pawl thereby translated into the movable jaw movement relative to the fixed jaw.

Abstract: A scalable and portable popup worksite system for work that requires indoor or outdoor workspace isolation from the surrounding elements. In the preferred embodiments, the invention comprises a foldable frame structure, a cover retaining system, and a ventilation system. The frame structure comprises a plurality of foldable wall trusses connecting a plurality of upright telescopic posts transversely forming a wall frame structure and a closed loop geometric footprint, a plurality of foldable roof trusses connecting a centrally disposed roof connector assembly to either the telescopic posts or the wall trusses transversely forming the roof. The cover retaining system comprises a plurality of cover retaining assemblies, spring clips and spring clamps to secure roof and wall cover to the frame structure. The ventilation system comprises an enclosure that can utilize standard furnace air filters and existing air circulation devices. Multiple frame structures can be linked together to scale up workspace.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for real-time object placement guidance in augmented reality experience. An example method may include receiving, by a device having a sensor, an indication of an object to be viewed in an physical environment of the device. The example method may also include determining a 3D model of the physical environment using data of the physical environment captured by the sensor. The example method may also include determining that a first surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first floor space, and a second surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first wall space. The example method may also include determining that a portion of the first surface is unoccupied and sized to fit the object.

Abstract: The invention comprises a scalable and foldable multipurpose frame structure configured with a generally flat-roof as a worksite and a peaked-roof as a recreational canopy, a cover retaining system and a ventilation system. The frame structure comprises a plurality of foldable wall trusses connecting a plurality of upright telescopic posts transversely forming a wall frame structure and a closed loop geometric footprint, a plurality of foldable roof trusses connecting a centrally disposed roof assembly to either the telescopic posts or the wall trusses transversely forming the roof. The cover retaining system comprises various spring clips for known-size frame members, and various clamps for unknown-size frame members, to secure roof and wall cover to the frame structure. The ventilation system comprises an enclosure that can utilize standard furnace air filters and existing air circulation devices. Multiple frame structures can be linked together to scale up space.

Abstract: A virtual vertical surface in a three-dimensional space that represents a physical room may be detected. Responsive to a first user input gesture, movement of a virtual object within the three-dimensional space may be displayed. The movement may be to a first location in which a portion of the virtual object intersects a portion of the virtual vertical surface. A virtual vertical surface designator may be displayed corresponding to the virtual vertical surface based at least in part on the portion of the virtual object intersecting the portion of the virtual vertical surface. Upon determining that a second user input gesture meets or exceeds a movement threshold, movement of the three-dimensional object from the first location to a second location within the three-dimensional space may be displayed. The second location may appear beyond the virtual vertical surface.
