  • Publication number: 20220025920
    Abstract: A self-reacting center wheel nut assembly includes a reaction ring (120) formed between a center wheel nut (110) and a lock collar assembly (130). The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly may also include a washer (140) and O-rings. The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly improves and simplifies wheel bolt tightening; uses the lock collar assembly as a reaction point by transferring opposing torque generated during installation and removal through the reaction ring, which is reacted on by a dual sleeved drive assembly; may be used with HYTORC electric battery powered torque multiplier gun/tools to deliver quick, accurate and precise torque; eliminates the need for external reaction points such as the rim or ground, thereby eliminating side loads and damage to the wheel; is fully sealed and lubricated; eliminates vehicle movement and the need to lock the brakes; reduces operator fatigue, chances of injury and saves operator time and energy.

  • Publication number: 20210390613
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-based system for managing just-in-time preparation and delivery of food products. In the system, customers can build, place, and pay for their order. Once the order is placed, the system will track the users location, only starting to prepare their food when the customer is within a specific proximity to the retail location. The proximity will be dynamic and expand and contract with the customer's movements. Finally, the system will coordinate the preparation, assembly and packaging of the order to provide just-in-time delivery of the customer's order, thereby reducing food waste and enhancing the freshness and taste of the product delivered to improve the customer experience.

  • Publication number: 20210382884
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that can extract part data from a PLM database and suggest changes to the manufacturing of the part. In one example, the method may include querying a database for a plurality of values of a part to be manufactured from a plurality of fields of computer-aided design (CAD) file stored in the database, mapping the plurality of fields of the CAD file to a plurality of corresponding fields of a host platform based on a type of the database, extracting the plurality of values from the CAD file and transferring the plurality of values to the mapped plurality of corresponding fields of the host platform, determining changes to one or more manufacturing attributes of the part to be manufactured based on the transferred plurality of values, and outputting the changes to a display.

  • Publication number: 20210018986
    Abstract: The interactive holographic human-computer interface (H2CI) has the following key capabilities: 1. Support for multiple applications just as today's human-computer interfaces support any application that is developed for the computer 2. Provision of the convenience, efficiency, combined data display and input interface of virtual physical controls (displayed as holograms) 3. Interaction with the virtual physical controls, as the actual interface to the local or external system, would also result in changes to the system being controlled, not just in the displayed holograms 4. Use of sensor feedback (in realtime, under computer control), including EMR emission and detection, to allow synchronization of physical objects with each other, under the control of virtual objects representing both the targets and tools or instruments to manipulate them 5. holographic interface that would distinguish the type of motion 6.

  • Publication number: 20200042097
    Abstract: The holographic interface for manipulation includes a holographic display unit for constructing and displaying a hologram and a motion detector for detecting movement and location of a physical command object, such as a user's finger or hand, relative to the displayed hologram. The motion detector is in communication with a controller for converting the detected location of the physical command object relative to its position with respect to the displayed hologram into a command signal. The command signal is then transmitted to an external device, such as a robotic arm in a remote plant, or any other suitable external system. Alternatively, the hologram may be a holographic image of physical controls for an external system, for example, and the command signal may be a command for the external device to perform an act corresponding to manipulation of the holographic image of a physical control by the command object.
