  • Patent number: 11887264
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to using sensor data and location data from a device to generate augmented reality images. A mobile device pose can be determined (a geographic position, direction and a three dimensional orientation of the device) within a location. A type of destination in the location can be identified and multiple destinations can be identified, with the mobile device receiving queue information about the identified destinations from a server. A first image can be captured. Based on the queue information, one of the identified destinations can be selected. The geographic position of each identified destination can be identified, and these positions can be combined with the mobile device pose to generate a second image. Finally, an augmented reality image can be generated by combining the first image and the second image, the augmented reality image identifying the selected one destination.

  • Publication number: 20060097725
    Abstract: A magnetic assembly for a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus includes a number of primary permanent magnets 1 disposed in an array about a longitudinal axis, the arrangement and/or characteristics of the plurality of magnets being such so as to create a zone of homogeneous magnetic field at some location along the axis forward of the array (and into the material when provided). A secondary permanent magnet 7 may be located along the longitudinal axis within the array of primary magnets and may be moveable. The primary magnets 1 have a north pole and a south pole with an axis therebetween, and may be arranged such that the axis between the poles is at an angle to the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20050172459
    Abstract: A cord retainer (10, 100, 140, 160) for retaining cords such as electrical power leads (32) and pneumatic hoses in an elevated position above the ground or floor. The cord retainer (10, 100, 140, 160) has a flexible web (14, 146, 168) with holes (30, 148) dimensioned to receive a cord (32) and substantially retained it against longitudinal movement with respect to the web (14, 146, 168) to the extent that the cord (32) is substantially prevented from sliding longitudinally in the hole (30, 148) under the force of its own weight or during normal installation of the cord (32), in two spaced apart cord retainers (10, 100, 140, 160). A series of frames 170, 180 and 190 are also provided for attaching the cord retainer (10, 100, 140, 160) structures on building and construction sites.
