  • Patent number: 11922560
    Abstract: One example provides a computing device configured to capture, via the camera, first image data imaging a first physical world location, create a first spatial representation of the first physical world location based on the first image data, receive a user input defining a pose of a first virtual spatial anchor point relative to a feature imaged in the first image data, track user movement to a second physical world location, capture second image data imaging the second physical world location, receive a user input defining a pose of a second virtual spatial anchor point relative to a feature imaged in the second image data, and send, to a remote computing device, data representing the first spatial representation, the pose of first spatial anchor point, the second spatial representation, the pose of second spatial anchor point, and a positional relationship between first and second spatial anchor points.

  • Publication number: 20050161276
    Abstract: A power supply assembly is provided for a Personalized Motorized Vehicle (PMV) including a detachable mounting assembly therefor which facilitates the ease of attachment of a Power Supply Unit (PSU) to a main structural frame of the PMV, provides a positive electrical and structural connection therebetween, and integrates the power supply assembly with the external geometry of the PMV to provide an aesthetically pleasing external appearance. The power supply assembly includes a pair of PSUs, each unit having a housing structure which includes at least one segment projecting from a center body portion thereof. A segment of one PSU unit overlaps a segment of another PSU unit and another segment of one PSU overlaps a portion of the main structural frame. Electrical connectors are disposed in combination with the overlapping housing segments for electrically coupling the PSUs and at least one PSU to the PMV.

  • Publication number: 20050034907
    Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle is steered by handlebars. A lever is mounted on the handlebars and rotatable in either of two opposite directions by the hands holding the handlebars. A potentiometer connected to the lever comprises a wiper on a resistive track, centered by a spring. The track has a central null area formed by material of lower resistance, so that the output voltage is constant. When the lever is moved away from the centered position, the wiper moves along the track and the output voltage rises or falls. A controller controls the speed and direction of the vehicle in response to the output voltage of the potentiometer. When the wiper is on the null area, the controller stops the vehicle. The size of the null area facilitates ensuring the centered position coincides with the null area, so the vehicle stops when the lever is released.
