  • Publication number: 20240139793
    Abstract: A mobile flanging machine for pipes has a portable frame on which a drive is mounted, which drives a roller via a transmission, and an adjustment mechanism fixed to the frame, on which a counter-pressure roller is movably held, wherein a bent flange can be produced on the pipe end by inserting a pipe end into a gap between the roller and the counterpressure roller. A method for assembling the mobile flanging machine involves transporting and setting up a frame with a rotatably mounted roller and an adjustment mechanism on which a counterpressure roller is movably held, transporting a drive with a first coupling part to the frame, connecting the first coupling part to a second coupling part for driving the roller, and fixing the drive to the frame.

  • Patent number: 9785323
    Abstract: A user interface includes a digital image display canvas and a plurality of control tiles arranged on a rotatable carousel. A user can browse through the control tiles using swiping gestures that rotate the carousel. Each control tile represents a parameter, an imaging effect, or some other manipulation that can be applied to the displayed image. For control tiles representing a parameter which can be selected from a range of numerical values, such as image brightness, selecting the control tile causes a universal slider to be displayed. The universal slider extends across an entire dimension of the display, thereby providing the user with a wide range of adjustment for the corresponding parameter. Selecting a different control tile associated with a different parameter causes user input received via the universal slider to be applied to the different parameter, thereby such that the same universal slider can manipulate multiple parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160070460
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for assigning an attribute to an image asset. A touch-sensitive device can display images one at a time. Each image has a status attribute that indicates whether the image has been picked or rejected. The user can display and change the status of the displayed image using a vertical touch contact gesture. An upward gesture may be used to assign a picked status to an image asset or remove a rejected status from the image asset. A downward gesture may be used to assign a rejected status to the image asset or remove a picked status from the image asset. A user interface affordance is configured to display a flag graphic and text string corresponding to the current status of the image being displayed and an animated graphic in response to a vertical touch contact gesture for changing the status of the image asset.
