Publication number: 20160137125Abstract: An imaging system is disclosed for use with a mobile machine. The imaging system may have at least one onboard camera configured to generate image data for an actual environment of the mobile machine, and an onboard sensor configured to generate object data regarding detection and ranging of an object in the actual environment. The imaging system may also have a display mounted on the machine, and a processor in communication with the at least one camera, the sensor, and the display. The processor may be configured to generate a virtual geometry, and generate a virtual object within the virtual geometry based on the object data. The processor may further be configured to generate a unified image of the actual environment based on the image data, to map a projection of the unified image onto the virtual geometry and the virtual object, and to render a selected portion of the projection on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2014Publication date: May 19, 2016Applicant: CATERPILLAR INC.Inventors: Peter Joseph Petrany, Bradley Scott Kriel, Paul Edmund Rybski, Douglas Jay Husted, Tod Andrew Oblak

Patent number: 9027571Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool (1) for separating a hair bundle (11) comprising a number of hair strands appropriate for receiving a hair treatment composition (15) for creating a hair bundle effect. The hair bundle (11) is received into a through hole (10) via a slit (50). The dimensions of the through hole (10) dictate the appropriate size of a hair bundle (11). In one aspect of the present invention, the tool (1) is substantially flat in order to prevent spillages of hair treatment composition (15) onto the scalp. A gripping layer (70) may extend upon at least a portion of the tool (1) for aiding the grip of the tool (1) to the hair bundle (11).Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Paul Edmund Baker, Gwenalle Deloux, Natasha Jane Evans, Neil Anthony Litten, John Edward Sheppard

Patent number: 8701683Abstract: Disclosed herein is an application tool (1) and methods to use the same. The application tool (1) comprises two plates (22), connected together. At least one of said two plates (22) comprises a fluid control zone (50), which run along the perimeter edge (30) of said at least one plate (22), a displacement zone (60), which at least partially separate said fluid control zone (50) from a containment zone (70). A hair treatment composition may be loaded onto the containment zone (70). Application of hair treatment compositions through the application tool (1) according to the invention allows for a precise, non-messy and clean targeting of the hair treatment composition on a hair strand and it is especially useful for highlighting and dyeing compositions.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: The Procter and Gamble CompanyInventors: Robert Wayne Glenn, Jr., Paul Edmund Baker

Publication number: 20140082532Abstract: A client device downloads an interactive multimedia content package, such as a video game, from a server across a network. The package includes executable code and a plurality of graphical asset files. A wrapper component is provided in the package, which provides an intermediate layer between the executable code and a runtime environment of the client device. The wrapper component restricts functionality of the interactive multimedia content package to provide a demonstration or trial mode, in particular having time limitations (e.g. a rental mode) or functional limitations regarding the assets and/or progress within the content by the executable code. The wrapper component may be removed or inactivated, thereby achieving a full or unlimited mode of the package.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: Tangentix LimitedInventors: Paul Edmund Fleetwood Sheppard, Edward Michael French, Peter Jack Jeffery, Gareth Edward Lewis
