  • Publication number: 20240135653
    Abstract: In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, an extended reality system is described. The extended reality system includes an imaging system to present virtual objects to a user. The extended reality system also includes a machine vision tracking system. The machine vision tracking system includes a camera to capture images of a user's hand a tool grasped in the user's hand. The machine vision tracking system also includes a processor. The processor 1) tracks a position and orientation of the user's hand in physical space, 2) identifies the tool grasped in the user's hand, and 3) tracks a position and orientation of the tool in physical space. The extended reality system also includes an XR controller to manipulate the XR environment based on the position and orientation of the tool and the position and orientation of the hand.

  • Patent number: 6024668
    Abstract: An automatic transmission control system is provided with extreme cold logic wherein when the transmission oil temperature is below a predetermined temperature so as to cause the transmission oil to have extremely viscus characteristics, the transmission prevents faulty shifting by limiting shifts between first and third gears. The first gear is obtained by application of a single hydraulically controlled clutch element in combination with a freewheel clutch element while the third gear operation can be obtained by engagement of a second clutch element in combination with the first clutch element. Since the shift between first and third gears only requires the application of the second clutch element in combination with the already engaged first clutch element, there is no risk of torque overlap between elements.
