  • Publication number: 20250071502
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for presenting audio content in mixed reality environments. A method may include receiving a first input from an application program; in response to receiving the first input, receiving, via a first service, an encoded audio stream; generating, via the first service, a decoded audio stream based on the encoded audio stream; receiving, via a second service, the decoded audio stream; receiving a second input from one or more sensors of a wearable head device; receiving, via the second service, a third input from the application program, wherein the third input corresponds to a position of one or more virtual speakers; generating, via the second service, a spatialized audio stream based on the decoded audio stream, the second input, and the third input; presenting, via one or more speakers of the wearable head device, the spatialized audio stream.

  • Publication number: 20070215211
    Abstract: A washing machine outlet box includes a housing having a bottom wall containing multiple openings and two valve mount inserts insertable into selective openings for supporting water shut off valves therein. The two valve mount inserts may be individual valve mount inserts that are separately insertable into two of the openings or the two valve mount inserts may be joined together for insertion into at least one of the openings as a unit. A drain pipe may be connected to another opening in which the two valve mount inserts are not inserted. A twist on and twist off test cap may be used to seal off the drain pipe opening during pressure testing of a sanitary drainage system to which the drain pipe is connected.

  • Publication number: 20050166965
    Abstract: A substrate is placed on a Y-axis movement table, and a syringe containing paste is rendered capable of applying paste while moving in an X-axis direction on a head mechanism. Since the head mechanism provided with the syringe is rendered movable in the Y-axis direction by the Y-axis movement mechanism, a distance of movement of the syringe containing paste in the Y-axis direction is reduced, and a mechanical load on the head mechanism is reduced as well. Accordingly, production of metal dust attributable to abrasions and the like are suppressed, and it is possible to achieve high-quality and efficient paste pattern formation.

  • Publication number: 20050034771
    Abstract: A valve assembly for plumbing installations. The valve assembly has a unitary valve body with three interconnected ports and a fluid control mechanism. Connector portions are formed about each port of the unitary valve body to thereby enable connection of the valve assembly into a fluid supply line and for connecting an appliance and various devices and fluid lines to the valve assembly. The fluid control mechanism of the valve assembly is constructed to direct fluid through the valve body and to enable the fluid flow to be shut off.
