  • Publication number: 20240060774
    Abstract: An augmented-reality device is used with a surveying system to guide a base station, such as a total station, during relock after loss of line of sight with a surveying instrument, such as a surveying pole with a reflective prism. A position of the surveying instrument in relation to the augmented-reality device is calculated while an object in the environment blocks line of sight from the base station to the surveying instrument. A position of the surveying instrument in relation to the environment is calculated based on the position of the surveying instrument in relation to the augmented-reality device. The position of the surveying instrument in relation to the environment is used by the base station to point toward to the surveying instrument.

  • Patent number: 11821730
    Abstract: An augmented-reality system is combined with a surveying system to make measurement and/or layout at a construction site more efficient. A reflector can be mounted to a wearable device having an augmented-reality system. A total station can be used to track a reflector, and truth can be transferred to the wearable device while an obstruction is between the total station and the reflector. Further, a target can be used to orient a local map of a wearable device to an environment based on a distance between the target and the wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20060231106
    Abstract: A backboard for medical use for supporting and transporting a patient comprises a flat board formed of a fluted plastic sheet material and having a plurality of handholds distributed along opposite longitudinal edges. A pair of strengthening members formed of fluted plastic sheet material and having a plurality of lengthwise extending fold lines enabling folding of the members into triangular shapes with laterally extending flaps are bonded to an underside of the flat board via the flaps. A plurality of slots are formed through the strengthening members and aligned for passing straps for holding a patient on the backboard. In another form, the backboard comprises a flat board having a pair of lengthwise extending side members defined by grooves cut partially through the board and extending the length of the board.
