  • Publication number: 20250114713
    Abstract: A slide and ride system are described. A slide is described with a processor comprising ride prediction software configured to use inputs on the rider and slide to predict ride output factors including rider position and speed and to use the predicted one or more ride output factors to direct and adjust an image displayed on the slide interior corresponding to rider speed and position on the slide. The projector used may be configured to display an image on at least part of the slide interior, the image corrected to appear flat when projected by the projector onto the slide interior surface. The slide may also comprise at least one LED strip lighting loop, each loop configured to fit around a slide exterior and project LED light into the slide interior, or LED spot lights configured to spot light the slide interior, the or each LED spot light comprising a prefabricated assembly configured to be fitted to a ring cut into the slide wall, or optionally roof, from the slide interior.

  • Patent number: 11288055
    Abstract: A system includes a memory that stores computer-executable components and a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components stored in the memory. The computer-executable components include a deployment generator component that analyzes current component versions of application services and determines differences with previous deployment versions of the application services deployed to a target computing environment. A service deployment output component generates instructions to selectively update the application services to the target computing environment based on the determined differences between the previous deployment versions and the current component versions of the application services.

  • Publication number: 20200123429
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to drilling fluids and more specifically relate to methods for treating drilling fluids. A method for treating a drilling fluid within a wellbore includes preparing a treatment fluid at an off-site location, where the treatment fluid contains at least a base fluid, an emulsifier, and a wetting agent. The method also includes transporting the treatment fluid from the off-site location to a drilling site containing the wellbore and adding the treatment fluid into the wellbore to combine with the drilling fluid and produce a treated drilling fluid.

  • Patent number: 10500482
    Abstract: A method of operating a video game system can include applying an optical filter in a field of view of a camera to filter out visible light and allow the camera to view non-visible light directed at a display screen positioned within the field of view of the camera. The method can also include processing the video output feed from the camera with a computer processor to identify a location of a non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera that is projected onto the display screen by a light targeting peripheral unit. The method can also include calculating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera as a proportion of one or more dimensions of the field of view of the camera and translating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera onto a location on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 10245506
    Abstract: A video game system can include a console, a camera and a light targeting peripheral (LTP), where the LPT can direct non-visible light (e.g., infrared (IR) light) onto a display screen. The camera is positioned so that is can view the display screen, and can locate a non-visible light dot on the display screen during video game play. The system can be used with any size or type of electronic display (e.g., any type of television, computer screen, etc.), or any type of non-electronic display (e.g., projector screen) on which the video game can be projected.

  • Patent number: 10207178
    Abstract: A method of calibration a video game system can include removing an optical filter that filters out visible light from a field of view of a camera to allow the camera to view visible light. The method can also include displaying a calibration image on a display screen located within the field of view of the camera, processing the video output feed from the camera with a computer processor to identify the calibration image, and calculating with the processor coordinates that represent corners of the display screen in the field of view of the camera once the calibration image is identified.

  • Patent number: 9093868
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an airflow management system, particularly for a lawn mower, especially a robotic lawn mower. A battery-operated robotic lawn mower has an active airflow management system that includes at least one first air vent positioned on an underside of the mower, at least one second air vent, an internal housing surrounding a motor, a fan, and at least one cooling air channel located within the housing and around said motor. An air flow path is defined between the first and the second vents, and the at least one second vent has a lower air flow capacity than an air flow capacity of the at least one cooling air channel such that, in operation, a greater volume of air is drawn through the first vent than the second.
