Publication number: 20240402795Abstract: Examples of augmented reality (AR) environment control advantageously employ multi-factor intention determination and include: performing a multi-factor intention determination for summoning a control object (e.g., a menu, a keyboard, or an input panel) using a set of indications in an AR environment, the set of indications comprising a plurality of indications (e.g., two or more of a palm-facing gesture, an eye gaze, a head gaze, and a finger position simultaneously); and based on at least the set of indications indicating a summoning request by a user, displaying the control object in a position proximate to the user in the AR environment (e.g., docked to a hand of the user). Some examples continue displaying the control object while at least one indication remains, and continue displaying the control object during a timer period if one of the indications is lost.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Andrew Jackson KLEIN, Cory Ryan BRAMALL, Kyle MOURITSEN, Ethan Harris ARNOWITZ, Jeremy Bruce KERSEY, Victor JIA, Justin Thomas SAVINO, Stephen Michael LUCAS, Darren A.

Patent number: 12097929Abstract: A gearbox may include a drive spindle and several interconnected gear clusters arranged in a housing. A first of the gear clusters is coaxially fastened to the spindle, and has an outboard gear and an inboard gear. The first gear cluster drives a belt to operate one or more of the other gear clusters, and the inboard gear is physically divided into a plurality of segments. A shifting system for the gearbox includes an actuator configured to urge the segments of the inboard gear of the first gear cluster into and out of the plane of the belt, such that a gear ratio of the gearbox is changeable without displacing the belt out of the plane.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2023Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: PRAXIS WORKS LLCInventors: David Allen, David M. Earle, Kyle Bennett, William A. Hilgenberg, Rainer Pokorny, Ryan Kent Miller

Patent number: 12060135Abstract: A gearbox may include a drive spindle and several interconnected gear clusters arranged in a housing. A first of the gear clusters is coaxially fastened to the spindle, and has an outboard gear and an inboard gear. The first gear cluster drives a belt or chain to operate one or more of the other gear clusters, and the inboard gear is physically divided into a plurality of segments. A shifting system for the gearbox includes an actuator configured to urge the segments of the inboard gear of the first gear cluster into and out of the plane of the belt or chain via a toggle and slider mechanism, such that a gear ratio of the gearbox is changeable without displacing the belt or chain out of the plane.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2023Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: Praxis Works LLCInventors: David M.
