  • Publication number: 20220230476
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing vibration data and for identifying and tracking vibration anomalies in industrial machines are described. In various embodiments, the system described herein collects, transforms, and analyzes sensor data from one or more machines, such as industrial machines. The system may identify one or more sensors that are experiencing vibrational anomalies. In various embodiments, the system: collects and analyzes vibration data for a set of one or more vibration-related sensors of one or more industrial machines; determines an occurrence of one or more anomalies based on the vibration data as compared to a threshold; tracks anomalies in collected vibration data for the one or more industrial machines of the facility; generates a report of vibration data for the one or more vibration-related sensors of the facility; and reports industrial machines in the facility that may deviate from a target performance.

  • Patent number: 11308686
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to for displaying a set of images based on captured image data. In some embodiments, a system displays a first set of images corresponding to a first perspective in a virtual reality (VR) (or mixed reality (MR)) environment. The system receives a request while displaying the first set of images. The system captures image data corresponding to a second perspective in the VR (or MR) environment in response to receiving the request. The system displays a second set of images based on the captured image data.

  • Publication number: 20210207681
    Abstract: A locking isolator includes one or more joints. The one or more joints are configured to transition between a clearance fit state and an interference fit state in response to a change in temperature. The locking isolator includes a dampener. The dampener is configured to attenuate transmission of vibration through the one or more joints when the one or more joints are in the clearance fit state.

  • Patent number: 10983663
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for displaying an application in a simulated reality setting. The techniques include determining a position of a physical object on a physical surface (or a position of a virtual object on a representation of the physical surface), displaying a representation of an application in a simulated reality setting, and modifying attributes of the representation of the application in response to detecting changes in the position of the physical object on the physical surface (or changes in the position of the virtual object on the representation of the physical surface). In some embodiments, the attributes of the representation of the application are based on the position of the physical object on the physical surface or the position of the virtual object on the representation of the physical surface.

  • Publication number: 20210029881
    Abstract: A garden implement is directed to collecting fallen pine cones off the ground. The device has an elongated handle connected to a basket or cage having a bottom surface that slides on a ground surface. The basket or cage has closed sides, and an open distal mouth. The bottom surface may comprise a pitchfork with curved tines and forward points. In operation, a user pushes the basket or cage forward using the handle, and pine cones are collected for disposal. Side wheels may be added for additional versatility.

  • Patent number: 10853036
    Abstract: A method of generating a hardware design to calculate a modulo value for any input value in a target input range with respect to a constant value d using one or more range reduction stages. The hardware design is generated through an iterative process that selects the optimum component for mapping successively increasing input ranges to the target output range until a component is selected that maps the target input range to the target output range. Each iteration includes generating hardware design components for mapping the input range to the target output range using each of a plurality of modulo preserving range reduction methods, synthesizing the generated hardware design components, and selecting one of the generated hardware design components based on the results of the synthesis.

  • Patent number: 10674297
    Abstract: A vibration monitoring and analysis system may include a transducer configured to convert sensed vibration into an alternating current. A processing module may analyze the alternating current and produce an output configured to convey information regarding characteristics of the alternating current. One or more analysis modules may be utilized to compare a waveform of the sensed vibration to known patterns, for example to identify known events and/or conditions.
