  • Patent number: 12210724
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the system includes a virtual reality environment that includes a digital twin of at least a portion of a physical industrial environment. In some embodiments, the system is configured to change the virtual reality environment based on changes in the physical industrial environment. In some embodiments, the changes are received by the system through sensors such as temperature and/or pressure sensors, as non-limiting examples. In some embodiments, the changes in the physical environment are detected through the analysis of images. In some embodiments, the system is configured to use artificial intelligence to detect the changes. In some embodiments, the system is configured to predict the effect of changes in the virtual and/or physical environment on other system components through variable changes in virtual models. In some embodiments, the system is configured to display the effects in the virtual environment before they are implemented in the physical environment.

  • Publication number: 20240161411
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel framework for an industrial metaverse that provides an immersive, computerized experience for users to, but not limited to, collaborate on the design of a space, control of machinery, management of employees, and the like. The disclosed framework can execute known or to be known augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and extended (XR) modules to analyze and render displayable, interactive interface objects within a display of a device. Effectively, the immersive environment created via the disclosed framework creates and enables a spatial, virtual workspace, whereby real-world activities can be virtualized so as to enable seamless, efficient and secure working environments for users. The framework provides a 3D virtual space that provides an interactive platform for users to connect, engage with each other, engage with products/assets and/or digitize physical tasks.

  • Patent number: 8444259
    Abstract: An ink reservoir (10) for an ink recirculating system for supplying ink to an inkjet printhead (14) comprises a first chamber (16) for receiving ink from a main ink supply (12) and having a printhead outlet (24) for supplying ink to a printhead (14); and a second chamber (18) in fluid communication with the first chamber for receiving ink from the first chamber in excess of a predetermined height in the first chamber determined by the position of a transfer outlet (20), the second chamber having a printhead inlet (30) for receiving ink recirculated from the printhead and having a return outlet (40) for returning to the main ink (12) supply ink in excess of a predetermined height in the second chamber determined by the position of the return outlet (40), the transfer outlet (20), in use, being vertically above the return outlet (40).

  • Patent number: 7209950
    Abstract: Techniques are described for facilitating communication among a plurality of different telecommunications systems. Communications from a sending network are forwarded to a server that places the communications in a format acceptable to a second receiving network. The server maps an incoming message into any one or more of a variety of formats in accordance with a format acceptable by a receiving network. These communications may include, for example, short messages service (SMS) messages in which the sending and receiving telecommunications systems each have different routing information, such as different electronic addressing formats.

  • Publication number: 20060211774
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of a novel nucleotide polymorphism in the inhibin beta-A (INHBA) gene and the exploitation of this nucleotide polymorphism in the diagnosis of susceptibility to bone damage, particularly fracture. Also provided are transgenic non-human animals comprising the polynucleotides of the present invention and methods and kits for diagnosing and/or determining susceptibility to bone damage.
