Publication number: 20240100899Abstract: A method of on-demand energy delivery to an active suspension system is disclosed. The suspension system includes an actuator body, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, a plurality of sensors, an energy storage facility, and a controller. The method includes disposing an active suspension system in a vehicle between a wheel mount and a vehicle body, detecting a wheel event requiring control of the active suspension; and sourcing energy from the energy storage facility and delivering it to the electric motor in response to the wheel event.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: ClearMotion, Inc.Inventors: Zackary Martin Anderson, Marco Giovanardi, Clive Tucker, Jonathan R.

Publication number: 20230196660Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can simulate a virtual parallax to create three dimensional effects. For example, the computing device can obtain an image captured at a particular location. The captured two-dimensional image can be applied as texture to a three-dimensional model of the capture location. To give the two-dimensional image a three-dimensional look and feel, the computing device can simulate moving the camera used to capture the two-dimensional image to different locations around the image capture location to generate different perspectives of the textured three-dimensional model as if captured by multiple different cameras. Thus, a virtual parallax can be introduced into the generated imagery for the capture location. When presented to the user on a display of the computing device, the generated imagery may have a three-dimensional look and feel even though generated from a single two-dimensional image.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gunnar Martin Byrod, Jan H. Bockert, Johan V. Hedberg, Ross W. Anderson

Patent number: 11333517Abstract: A method includes capturing images at a device and analyzing the images at the device using a first analysis model to obtain information regarding an observed object that corresponds to a predetermined object. The method also includes determining whether the information regarding the observed object is consistent with stored mapping information, and, in response to determining that the information regarding the observed object is not consistent with the stored mapping information, modifying the stored mapping information based on the observed object.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Weiyu Zhang, Xufeng Han, Lukas M.

Patent number: 6932598Abstract: The present invention is a device (18) and method for applying posteriorly directed pressure to a patient's upper posterior tooth, and anteriorly directed pressure to the lower teeth and lower jaw (50). The device includes a tooth attachment (22) fixed to a lower posterior tooth. A mounting base (20) is connected to the tooth attachment, and serves to mount a bumper unit (62), which extends from the lower posterior tooth to the upper posterior tooth. The bumper unit includes a bite bumper (32), for contacting the upper tooth. In the patient's retruded or uncorrected jaw position, the obstruction surface (38) of the bite bumper strikes the occlusal surface (41) of the upper posterior tooth, obstructing full closure of the jaws. Because this obstruction causes discomfort to the patient, the lower jaw is protruded into the forward or corrected jaw position. During protrusion, the bite bumper slides forwardly and upwardly into the adjacent opening (54) immediately anterior to the upper posterior tooth.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Inventor: Ross W.

Patent number: 5460524Abstract: A dental device for removing saliva and retracting the tongue comprising a retraction unit (22) having a tongue shield (28). A bite handle (30) is connected to the tongue shield (28) to stabilize the unit (22), and is held between the biting teeth. At least one tube holder (36) is secured to the tongue shield (28) adjacent to a rearmost molar tooth, and a suction tube (24) is attached to each tube holder (36). A Y-tube adapter (26) may be used to connect two suction tubes (24) with a single conventional fitting of the operatory suction system. A method for removing saliva and retracting the tongue within an oral cavity including retraction with a tongue shield (28), and stabilizing the tongue shield (28) with a bite handle (30). The method further includes removing saliva along a tube holder (36) secured to the tongue shield (28) adjacent to a rearmost molar tooth.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1994Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Inventor: Ross W.
