  • Compensating for user hand tremors when using hand-held electronic devices
    Patent number: 11003354
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for compensating for user hand tremors when using a hand-held electronic device having a user interface display. The method includes monitoring position data of a user's finger in relation to the user interface display over time as the finger approaches an element in the user interface display. A target element is determined by predicting an intended movement of the user's finger and the method dynamically enlarges the determined target element in the user interface display as the user's finger approaches the user interface display.

  • Driving arrangement for a heavy-duty grinding mill and heavy-duty grinding mill
    Patent number: 10751725
    Abstract: Driving arrangement for a heavy-duty grinding mill (50) having a horizontal tube with a circumferential girth gear (51), comprising a driving assembly, comprising a motor (10); at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) configured to engage the girth gear (51) for driving the grinding mill (50); at least one gearbox (20) comprising an input shaft (22) for coupling the motor (10) with the at least one gearbox (20), at least two output shafts (31, 32) for coupling the gearbox (20) with the at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) and a torque split arrangement being configured to transmit torque of the input shaft (22) to the at least two output shafts (31, 32); and at least one frame (48) for supporting the at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) separate from the gearbox (20), and a heavy-duty grinding mill.
