Abstract: A field device is configured to determine whether a device update is to be transmitted to a central server. The field device determines a period of time between an update time and a previous update time and a set of device conditions associated with a user utilization of the field device. The field device utilizes at least one of the period of time and the set of device conditions to determine an update schedule for the field device. The update schedule is determined by the field device utilizing a set of internal criteria that the period of time and the set of device conditions are evaluated against. The field device generates a device update from the set of device conditions and the update schedule and transmits the device update to a central server. The field device, via the device update causes the central server to utilize the update schedule.

Abstract: An anamorphic directional illumination device may provide a near-eye display apparatus or a vehicle external light device. The anamorphic near-eye display device comprises a spatial light modulator with asymmetric pixels; an input transverse anamorphic lens; and an extraction waveguide that passes input light in a first direction between a polarisation-sensitive reflector and rear guide surface to a lateral anamorphic reflector, and to reflect the light back through the extraction waveguide to output through the front guide surface. Deflection features are arranged on the front side of the polarisation-sensitive reflector to deflect the reflected light towards the pupil of a viewer, maintaining the directionality of the fan of light rays from the SLM and anamorphic imaging system. A thin, transparent and efficient anamorphic display apparatus for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality displays and for scene illumination is provided.

Abstract: An aircraft wing is provided having a fixed wing with a gulled wing tip rotatably mounted at the tip thereof, the gulled wing tip extending below a wing plane defined by the end of the fixed wing such that the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip is located below the wing plane. Lowering the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip has been found to reduce the onset of flutter. The gulled wing tip may be gulled about a hinge axis where it meets the fixed wing, or may be otherwise folded or curved to lower the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement both automated- and manual-checkout techniques for customers of the stores and/or facilities. For example, the described systems may enable a retail store to implement technology where users are able to pick items from shelves and other inventory locations and exit the store without performing manual checkout of the items, as well as technology to allow users to pay for their items using point-of-sale (POS) and/or other manual-checkout techniques. The systems described herein thus enable hybrid retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that is either entirely traditional or entirely enabled for automated checkout.
