  • Patent number: 11069079
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for enabling interaction with physical objects as proxy objects representing virtual objects are provided herein. Virtual reality application data associated with a virtual reality application executed on a virtual reality device, a first virtual reality object data associated with a first virtual reality object from the virtual reality application, and virtual reality event data associated with one or more events from the virtual reality application may be received. Robotic arms including a robotic hand may grasp a first physical object which corresponds to the first virtual reality object of the virtual reality application. Sensors may detect a user interaction with the first physical object. Force feedback instructions commanding the robotic arms to move while maintaining grasp of the first physical object may be generated and executed based on detecting the user interaction with the first physical object and based on the virtual reality event data.

  • Patent number: 10970563
    Abstract: A system and method for remapping surface areas of vehicle environment that include receiving a plurality of images of the surface areas of the vehicle environment from a computing device. The system and method also include evaluating the plurality of images to determine an optical flow value associated with at least one pixel of at least two images of the plurality of images. The system and method additionally include determining at least one surface area that includes an external environment of the vehicle. The system and method further include remapping the surface areas by filtering the at least one surface area from which the external environment is captured and rendering at least one surface area graphical augmentation on at least one remapped surface area of the vehicle environment.

  • Patent number: 6409025
    Abstract: A guard restricting access to a rack of goods comprises: an access-restricting cover having an open bottom, a left side to which is substantially vertically mounted a track means, and a right side to which is substantially vertically mounted a track means; a left extensible member comprising a track means which is lockably engageable with the track means of said left side so as to slide said left extensible member from a retracted storage position to an extended use position; a right extensible member comprising a track means which is lockably engageable with the track means of said right side so as to slide said right extensible member from a retracted storage position to an extended use position; and a bottom member having a left end reversibly securable to a lower end of said left extensible member, and a right end reversibly securable to a lower end of said right extensible member.

  • Patent number: 4160315
    Abstract: In methods of making head assemblies, a ceramic slider having a row of receiving apertures is united with a multiple serial ferrite arch structure shaped in complementary fashion so that successive arches thereof register within the apertures to define erase pole pieces. The face of the resulting assembly is ground flat and parallel to the arch base and the bridges thus formed on the base side may be separated between the arches. The assembly is then bisected along the row of pole pieces into complementary halves, and the facing surfaces are ground and lapped to provide a desired width for the erase member formed by the pole piece half and associated leg of one of the ferrite arches. Grooves are cut into the bisected surfaces at the pole pieces to define the erase track width and the erase gap length for the erase member.
