Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to execute a sound visualization application/service that dynamically generates graphical sound indication providing a visualization of sound for content being presented. A visualization of sound data may be generated and rendered from analysis of sound data, occurring in a manner that is independent from the application/service that is being used to present the content. The sound visualization application/service may be implemented as an independent application/service or plugin that works universally to provide graphical sound visualization regardless of whether content was developed to support graphical sound visualization. For example, a sound visualization application/service is implemented that generates and renders sound indication graphically without requiring access to code of displayed content. Rendered sound visualization may be presented concurrently with displayed content.

Abstract: An electronic device displays at least a portion of an electronic document with a predefined page layout at a first magnification level on a display; detects a first input indicating a first insertion point in the document, where the first insertion point is proximate to a first portion of text in the document; and in response to detecting the first input: selects a second magnification level different from the first magnification level, where the second magnification level is selected so as to display the first portion of text at a target text display size, and, while maintaining the predefined page layout of the document, displays, at the second magnification level, a portion of the document that includes the first portion of text.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically generating meta-alerts based on operational and security risk alert volumes for an entity. In particular, a central device receives entity alert information from other devices in a computer system of an enterprise business, which may have office branches that are each staffed by employees. The central device compares alert volumes of a given entity for a given period of time (e.g., a month) to one or more baseline thresholds determined based on the average alert volume of peer entities during the same period of time and the entity's own historical alert volumes to identify spikes or increases in the volume of alerts for the given entity. If the entity is trending high for the period of time, the central device generates a meta-alert to bring awareness to the relatively high volume of alerts identified for that entity.

Abstract: A borehole isolation device. The borehole isolation device may include a body having an outer diameter and an expandable ring. The expandable ring may be configured to expand from a first outer diameter that is approximately equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the body to a second outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the body when a fluid is flowed past the expandable ring in the borehole.

Three or more atomic interferometer inertial sensors obtain raw inertial measurements for three or more components of linear acceleration and three or more components of rotation. Three or more atomic interferometer gravity gradiometers obtain raw measurements for three or more components of the gravity gradient tensor. The processor is configured to determine position using the raw inertial measurements and the raw gravity gradient measurements.

Abstract: A control network communication apparatus, method, and system. The method of communicating control network information to a user interface includes a wireless gateway receiving control system information from a control node wirelessly over a local area mesh network, the wireless gateway receiving a request for control system information when it polls a remote server over a wide area network, the request transmitted to the remote server from a user interface, and the wireless gateway providing the requested control system information to the remote server for delivery to the user interface.

Abstract: A system and method to verify that the driver or operator of a vehicle or piece of equipment has completed a 360-degree walk-around inspection of the vehicle/equipment. The vehicle/equipment will be equipped with an electronic beacon that detects the direction of the driver/operator via a mobile electronic device that the driver/operator carries. As the operator walks around the vehicle/equipment, the electronic beacon installed on the vehicle/equipment recognizes the location of the mobile electronic device as the driver/operator walks around the vehicle/equipment performing their inspection. In certain embodiments, the electronic beacon and mobile electronic device determine the operator's inspection are Angle of Arrival and Angle of Departure relative to each electronic beacon. The determination may require different combinations of transmitters and receivers.

Abstract: A rotorcraft including a fuselage, one or more motor-driven rotors for vertical flight, and a control system. The motors drive the one or more rotors in either of two directions of rotation to provide for flight in either an upright or an inverted orientation. An orientation sensor is used to control the primary direction of thrust, and operational instructions and gathered information are automatically adapted based on the orientation of the fuselage with respect to gravity. The rotors are configured with blades that invert to conform to the direction of rotation.
