  • Publication number: 20240159165
    Abstract: A turbine shroud segment, e.g. for a gas turbine engine, which is coolable by a supply of cooling air, e.g. from a gas turbine engine compressor. The turbine shroud segment has a segment casing that has a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The segment casing houses a main plenum, a first layer of impingement chambers, a second layer of impingement chambers, and a plurality of effusion passages. The first layer of impingement chambers fluidly communicates with the main plenum via transfer passages that are formed in the segment casing. The second layer of impingement chambers fluidly communicates with the first layer of impingement chambers via impingement passages that are formed in the segment casing. The effusion passages run between impingement chamber core surface, which is a radially inner surface of an impingement chamber, and the radially inner surface of the segment casing.

  • Publication number: 20240152245
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

  • Publication number: 20240103803
    Abstract: A gaze virtual object is displayed that is selectable based on attention directed to the gaze virtual object to perform an operation associated with a selectable virtual object. An indication of attention of a user is displayed. An enlarged view of a region of a user interface is displayed. A value of a slider element is adjusted based on attention of a user. A user interface element is moved at a respective rate based on attention of a user. Text is entered into a text entry field in response to speech inputs. A value for a value selection user interface object is updated based on attention of a user. Movement of a virtual object is facilitated based on direct touch interactions. A user input is facilitated for displaying a selection refinement user interface object. A visual indicator is displayed indicating progress toward selecting a virtual object when criteria are met.

  • Patent number: 11941332
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to space model generation. A computing platform may receive space program data identifying parameters of a physical space. The computing platform may load a geometry model defining a plurality of design rules. The computing platform may generate space models for the physical space based on the space program data and the geometry model. Based on the geometry model, the computing platform may produce a score for each space model. Based on the scores, the computing platform may produce a ranked list of space models. The computing platform may generate user interface data comprising the ranked list of space models. The computing platform may send the user interface data comprising the ranked list of space models, which may cause a user computing device to display a user interface including a portion of the ranked list of space models.

  • Publication number: 20240087256
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system facilitates depth conflict mitigation for a virtual object that is in contact with one or more physical objects in a three-dimensional environment by changing visual properties of one or more portions of the virtual object. In some embodiments, a computer system facilitates depth conflict mitigation for a virtual object that is in contact with one or more physical objects in a three-dimensional environment by displaying the virtual object in a virtual environment within the three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system facilitates depth conflict mitigation for a virtual object that is in contact with one or more physical objects in a three-dimensional environment by variably changing visual properties of one or more portions of the virtual object and/or by variably displaying the virtual object in a virtual environment based on one or more characteristics of the depth conflict.

  • Patent number: 4864818
    Abstract: An augmentor liner 16 for a gas turbine engine is formed of thin perforated material and has pressurized cooling air surrounding it. A stiffner ring 42 is supporter from the liner with radially flexible straps 52, while relative radial displacement is limited by clips 50, 44. The liner is restrained from buckling while permitting thermal expansion.

  • Patent number: 4457401
    Abstract: An above-the-floor freestanding drive-through vehicular hydraulic lift in which a pair of laterally-spaced cylindrical columns enclose hydraulic elevating mechanisms and each column supports a vertically displaceable lifting assembly for engaging a vehicle in synchronization with an adjacent vertically displaceable lifting assembly on an adjacent column for supporting and elevating a vehicle to selected working locations. A lifting a lowering assembly is provided with an automatic locking and safety mechanism for sensing obstructions to which the supporting and elevating mechanism may be subjected in elevated and lower a vehicle supported on the hydraulic lift.
