  • Publication number: 20220264078
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying content. In an aspect, a plurality of content items can be displayed on one user device according to user preference. An example method can comprise positioning a first set of pixels associated with a user device so that first content displayed via the first set of pixels can be viewable in a first viewing location. A second set of pixels associated with the user device can be positioned so that second content displayed via the second set of pixels can be viewable in a second viewing location. The second content can be different from the first content.

  • Patent number: 11418755
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining an image resource allocation for displaying content within a display area. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to other objects in the space. The viewing distance between the user and the display area (e.g., the display device) may be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area. User movement, including eye movement, may also be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area.

  • Publication number: 20220188722
    Abstract: Performance quantifying and reporting for machine assets includes storing, in a work plan, asset tag assignments for a plurality of assets, and receiving location information, for example, indicative of a segment of a work cycle, being worked on by an asset. Attributes of an asset, including an inferred occurrence or non-occurrence of an asset-to-asset interaction, are based upon the location information and matching of role-based asset tags between or amongst assets. Performance history of the asset is quantified and reported based on the identified attributes for displaying, on a user interface, machine asset performance metrics.

  • Patent number: 11068276
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to controlled customization of silicon initialization. A device may comprise, for example, a boot module including a memory on which boot code is stored, the boot code including at least an initial boot block (IBB) module that is not customizable and a global platform database (GPD) module including customizable data. The IBB module may include a pointer indicating GPD module location. The customizable data may comprise configurable parameters and simple configuration language (SCL) to cause the device to execute at least one logical operation during execution of the boot code. The GPD module may further comprise a pointer indicating SCL location. The boot code may be executed upon activation of the device, which may cause the IBB module to load an interpreter for executing the SCL. The interpreter may also verify access request operations in the SCL are valid before executing the access request operations.

  • Patent number: 11047221
    Abstract: A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing well drilling and production operations. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to geologic uncertainty concerning a well being drilled, with a focus on the safety of the drilling operation.
