Abstract: An aircraft skin alignment system includes a support structure to support one or more aircraft skins, a puller tool, and a clamp tool; the puller tool having a base, the base supporting a holding mechanism to releasably engage with a first aircraft skin and a pulling mechanism to apply a pulling force to the first aircraft skin when the first aircraft skin is engaged with the holding mechanism; and the clamp tool having a body supporting an edge locator; the puller tool is to pull the first aircraft skin such that a first edge of the aircraft skin abuts the edge locator, the edge locator preventing the first edge from being pulled past the edge locator; and tool holes can be drilled into the first aircraft skin such that the tool holes are aligned based on an edge index due to a position of the edge locator.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the concept of integrating a charger with an electronic aerosol provision device into a single unit, so as to eliminate the need for a user to carry or stow charging cables, adaptors, and/or docks. In various implementations, the device utilizes a standard USB plug that is permanently attached to the device body and fully integrated with the charging circuitry. In some implementations, the plug may extend from an end of the device or be deployed from a side wall of the device and/or from the mouthpiece end of the device. The charger may be covered or otherwise hidden when the device is not charging.

Abstract: An image capture device may include an image sensor configured to capture an image and processing apparatus. The processing apparatus may be configured to obtain data and associate a function for each of the obtained data. The processing apparatus may be configured to store each function instance as analytic data. The processing apparatus may determine an analytic trigger occurrence and determine if the analytic trigger occurrence is greater than a function instance threshold. The processing apparatus may be configured to display a notification based on the analytic data.

Abstract: A system that produces a dynamic haptic effect and generates a drive signal that includes a gesture signal and a real or virtual device sensor signal. The haptic effect is modified dynamically based on both the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal such as from an accelerometer or gyroscope, or by a signal created from processing data such as still images, video or sound. The haptic effect may optionally be modified dynamically by using the gesture signal and the real or virtual device sensor signal and a physical model, or may optionally be applied concurrently to multiple devices which are connected via a communication link. The haptic effect may optionally be encoded into a data file on a first device. The data file is then communicated to a second device and the haptic effect is read from the data file and applied to the second device.

Abstract: An image sensor may generate visual output signals conveying visual information. The visual information may define visual content based on light received within a field of view of the image sensor. A sound sensor may receive and convert sounds into sound output signals. A voice command to operate in a sharing mode may be detected based on the sound output signals. Operation in the sharing mode may cause visual content captured by the image sensor during operation in the sharing mode to be accessible to members of a sharing group. Operation outside the sharing mode may case visual content captured by the image sensor during operation outside the sharing mode to not be accessible to the members of the sharing group. The visual information defining the visual content captured by the image sensor during the operation in the sharing mode may be stored in shared storage media.

Abstract: A system that produces a haptic effect and generates a drive signal that includes at least two haptic effect signals each having a priority level. The haptic effect is a combination of the haptic effect signals and priority levels. The haptic effect may optionally be a combination of the two haptic effect signals if the priority levels are the same, otherwise only the haptic effect signal with the highest priority is used. The frequency of haptic notifications may also be used to generate a drive signal using foreground and background haptic effect channels depending on whether the frequency ratio exceeds a foreground haptic effect threshold.
