Abstract: A wearable display system includes a mixed reality display for presenting a virtual image to a user, an outward-facing imaging system configured to image an environment of the user, and a hardware processor operably coupled to the mixed reality display and to the imaging system. The hardware processor is programmed to generate a virtual remote associated with a parent device, render the virtual remote and the virtual control element on the mixed reality display, determine when the user of the wearable system interacts with the virtual control element of the virtual remote, and perform certain functions in response to user interaction with a virtual control element of the virtual remote. These functions may include generation the virtual control element to move on the mixed reality display; and when movement of the virtual control element surpasses a threshold condition, generate a focus indicator for the virtual control element.

Abstract: A cloud-native global file system is augmented to include a file exporter (or, more generally, a file export tool) that facilitates an enterprise customer's use of a cloud-native tool that would otherwise be unable to operate against the global file system's underlying file system representation. In a typical use case, the file exporter is configured to extract in a native object format and to an unencrypted target all or a portion of a volume's data from the underlying file system representation. In this manner, the exporter creates a copy of the data set that the enterprise user can then leverage against the desired cloud-native tool or other cloud services that are not under the management or control of the global file system service provider.

Abstract: A first router generates session establishment metrics for use in network path selection. For example, a plurality of routers connect a client device to a network service instance hosted by a server. A first router is connected to the network service instance via first and second paths. The first router receives session performance requirements for a session between the client device and the network service instance. The first router forwards, along the first path, network traffic for the session by modifying a first packet of the session to include a session identifier for the session. The first router determines that session establishment metrics for the session do not satisfy the session performance requirements. In response, the first router forwards, along the second path, the network traffic for the session by modifying a second packet of the session to include the session identifier for the session.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for a method that utilizes the azimuthally spaced receivers of a sonic logging tool. Signals from monopole and dipole sources are reflected from the geologic interfaces and recorded by arrays of receivers of the same tool. For the incident P-waves from the monopole source, phase arrival times for the azimuthal receivers are compensated for stacking using properties of wave propagation in the borehole, and for the incident SH-waves from the dipole source, signs of waveforms for the receivers are changed for specified azimuths.

A receiver is connected to a control processor and receives a steering input from an RC transmitter. The control processor determines a desired roll angle based at least in part on the steering input from the receiver; determines a reported roll angle from the attitude estimate; and controls a steering angle of the front wheel assembly to reduce the difference (or reduce error) between the desired roll angle and the reported roll angle.

Abstract: A foreign object debris (FOD) collection drill attachment for attaching to a drill includes with a drill guide bushing holder, a chip breaker bushing, an air supply line, a chip evacuation line, a chip collection hopper, and an air manifold. The drill guide bushing holder includes an inlet channel receiving air from the air supply line, an outlet channel, and a holder center channel.

The cross-sectional area of the inlet channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel, creating a Venturi effect between the inlet channel and the outlet channel to pull FOD away from the drill bit and through the chip evacuation line to the chip collection hopper.
