  • Object preview in a mixed reality environment
    Patent number: 10943403
    Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.

  • NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20200371148
    Abstract: A method of measuring electromagnetic interference (EMI) to noninvasively identify component degradation or failure in power electronics circuitry. The method involves characterizing the degradation or failure characteristics of the component and modeling those characteristics to enable a machine learning algorithm to identify EMI frequency distribution characteristics that correspond to the degradation or failure. The EMI frequency distribution is measured and the data provided to the machine learning algorithm whereupon the algorithm identifies degradation or failures indicated by the measured data.

  • VALVE ACTUATOR WITH MULTIPLE MOTORS
    Publication number: 20200326011
    Abstract: Valve systems include a valve and a valve actuator assembly for operating the valve. The valve actuator assembly includes a first motor and a second motor mechanically coupled to an output of the valve actuator assembly via a differential gear system. The first motor, in operation, applies a first torque to the output via the gear system and the second motor, in operation, applies a second torque to the output via the gear system. The first and second torques are used to manipulate the valve. The first and second motors are operated independently or simultaneously in a first direction or a second direction that is opposite the first direction, in order to provide low speed and high torque when the valve is to be seated or unseated, and to provide high speed, low torque when moving the valve along its operational path.

  • ANTI-BACK DRIVE COMPONENTS FOR A VALVE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20200284307
    Abstract: Valve systems include a valve and a valve actuator assembly for operating the valve. The valve actuator assembly includes a drive device and a hand wheel assembly that can independently be used to cause movement of the valve. An anti-back drive component is coupled to the output of the drive device, the hand wheel assembly, or both. The anti-back drive component includes a locking device and an unlocking device, each with respective protrusions that cooperate to define cavities that house pairs of springs and rollers. The shape and orientation of the cavities allows for rotation of the rollers in the cavities and the anti-back drive component by rotating the unlocking device, while preventing rotation of the rollers and the anti-back drive component via rotation of the locking device to selectively prevent rotation of the output of the drive device, hand wheel assembly, or both.

  • Markerless image analysis for augmented reality
    Patent number: 10733801
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a markerless approach to displaying an image of a virtual object in an environment are described. A computing device is used to capture an image of a real-world environment; for example including a feature-rich planar surface. One or more virtual objects which do not exist in the real-world environment are displayed in the image, such as by being positioned in a manner that they appear to be resting on the planar surface, based at least on a sensor bias value and scale information obtained by capturing multiple image views of the real-world environment.
