  • Patent number: 11972180
    Abstract: A method and computing system operable for displaying a first routing diagram on a display. The first routing diagram is a member of a first set of routing diagrams that includes multiple different routing diagrams. Displaying the first routing diagram includes displaying a user-selectable control and a first portion of a particular routable component within the first routing diagram. The user-selectable control corresponds to a location of the display where a first terminal connected to the particular routable component or a second terminal connected or connectable to the first terminal is displayed. An additional function include determining, by a processor, a selection of the user-selectable control occurs while the first routing diagram is displayed on the display. A further function includes displaying, on the display in response to determining the selection of the user-selectable control occurs, the second routing diagram with a second portion of the particular routable component highlighted.

  • Publication number: 20240119753
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting a request for a computer-readable routing diagram, such as a wiring diagram, a pneumatic or hydraulic line diagram, or an optical cable diagram. The method also includes receiving, in response to the request, a routing diagram including a connectable component and at least a portion of a routing set. The connectable component is associated with both a connectable component identifier and the routing set. The routing set contains one or more routable components, such as electrical circuits, pneumatic or hydraulic lines, or optical cables. Further, the method includes displaying, on a display, the routing diagram and at least the portion of the routing set highlighted. Displaying at least the portion of the routing set highlighted occurs in response to an occurrence of the connectable component being selected from the routing diagram displayed on the display or in response to the request including the connectable component identifier.

  • Publication number: 20230377299
    Abstract: Generating a three-dimensional virtual representation of a three-dimensional physical object can be based on capturing or receiving a capture bundle or a set of images. In some examples, generating the virtual representation of the physical object can be facilitated by user interfaces for identifying a physical object and capturing a set of images of the physical object. Generating the virtual representation can include previewing or modifying a set of images. In some examples, generating the virtual representation of the physical object can include generating a first representation of the physical object (e.g., a point cloud) and/or generating a second three-dimensional virtual representation of the physical object (e.g., a mesh reconstruction). In some examples, a visual indication of the progress of the image capture process and/or the generation of the virtual representation of the three-dimensional object can be displayed, such as in a capture user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230096119
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide feedback to a user during object scanning based on how well sensor data of the scanned object has been captured. During object scanning a user may move an electronic device with sensors (e.g., cameras, depth sensors, etc.) around an object to capture sensor data for use in generating a final 3D model of the object. Live feedback during the scanning process is enabled by assessing how well the captured sensor data represents different portions of the object. In some implementations, a 3D model is generated, updated, and assessed based on the sensor data live during the scanning process. This live 3D model may be coarser (i.e., having fewer details) than the final 3D model.

  • Patent number: 10032429
    Abstract: A computing device includes an interface configured to receive image data that is indicative of a field-of-view (FOV) that is associated with a head-mountable display (HMD). The computing device also includes a computing system configured to determine optical flow from the image data and to determine, based on the optical flow, whether or not the HMD is associated with operation of a vehicle. Further, the computing device is configured to control the HMD to display information in a first mode, if the HMD is associated with the operation of the vehicle, and to control the HMD to display information in a second mode, if the HMD is not associated with the operation of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8074855
    Abstract: A follower mechanism of the bypass type comprises a follower body which is normally spring-biased in the forward direction so as to, in turn, normally bias a strip supply of nail-type fasteners in the forward direction toward a discharge path along which the leading one of the nail-type fasteners will he driven and discharged out from the fastener-driving tool. A follower claw is normally spring-biased, around the pivotal axis of a pivot pin mounted upon the follower body, to a position at which the follower claw can engage the trailing one of the nail-type fasteners so as to bias the supply strip of nail-type fasteners in the forward direction. A latch-hook is integrally provided upon the follower claw for engaging an undercut region of the fastener-driving tool magazine end cap in order to retain the entire follower mechanism at a rearwardly retracted position within the magazine assembly of the fastener-driving machine.

  • Patent number: 7918375
    Abstract: A pneumatically operable fastener-driving tool and seal mechanism assembly, and a method of operating the same, comprises the use of a single, annular seal member, having a substantially V-shaped cross-sectional configuration, disposed within an annularly recessed portion of the fastener-driving tool piston in such a manner that the open region of the V-shaped annular seal member is disposed toward the relatively high-pressure upstream end portion of the fastener-driving tool cylinder, while, conversely, the closed region of the V-shaped annular seal member is disposed toward the relatively low-pressure downstream end portion of the pneumatic tool cylinder Accordingly, the relatively high-pressure air acts upon the radially outwardly flared lip portion of the annular seal member during a power stroke, while relatively low-pressure air acts upon the radially outwardly flared lip portion of the annular seal member during a return stroke, whereby only a single V-shaped annular seal member is required to achieve
