  • Publication number: 20250218142
    Abstract: Techniques include identifying a set of mesh faces, wherein each mesh face included in the set of mesh faces corresponds to different portions of one or more surfaces in a physical space. The techniques further include selecting a subset of mesh faces from among the set of mesh faces, wherein at least a portion of each mesh face included in the subset of mesh faces is within a capture area associated with the physical space. The techniques further include selecting a first mesh face included in the subset of mesh faces that is proximate to a surface of a real-world asset. The techniques further include generating a first mesh segment that includes the first mesh face. The techniques further include generating a first object anchor that is associated with the first mesh segment.

  • Patent number: 12299819
    Abstract: Various implementations or examples set forth a method for scanning a three-dimensional (3D) environment. The method includes generating, based on sensor data captured by a depth sensor on a device, one or more 3D meshes representing a physical space, wherein each of the 3D meshes comprises a corresponding set of vertices and a corresponding set of faces comprising edges between pairs of vertices; determining that a mesh is visible in a current frame captured by an image sensor on the device; determining, based on the corresponding set of vertices and the corresponding set of faces for the mesh, a portion of the mesh that lies within a view frustum associated with the current frame; and updating the one or more 3D meshes by texturing the portion of the mesh with one or more pixels in the current frame onto which the portion is projected.

  • Publication number: 20250137471
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a modular hydraulic manifold for controlling an operation of a hydraulic actuator for an earthmoving machine. The manifold has a spool chamber and a load sensing passageway. The body also has a spool positioned axially within the spool chamber. The spool is spring-biased by an end cap. The module also has a pair of spool actuators that are located at a second end of the body and operable to axially displace the spool within the spool chamber. The pair of spool actuators are positioned in parallel and disposed adjacent to one another. The manifold also has an inlet chamber disposed parallel to the spool chamber and in selective fluid communication with the spool chamber via a spool supply passageway. The body includes openings on opposite sides that open directly to inlet and spool chambers of adjacent bodies to reduce passageway constriction within the hydraulic system.

  • Patent number: 12139883
    Abstract: A ladder motor pump system comprises a hydraulic fluid tank that holds hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic pump that draws and pressurizes the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid tank, a one-way electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic ladder actuator that actuates a ladder in first and second patterns, a hydraulic fluid circuit that routes the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic ladder actuator to the hydraulic fluid tank, and a regulator that routes the pressurized hydraulic fluid from an outlet of the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic fluid tank when a pressure of the pressurized hydraulic fluid exceeds a preselected threshold pressure, mixing the pressurized hydraulic fluid with the unpressurized hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic fluid tank and reducing temperature of the pressurized hydraulic fluid. The electric motor and the pump include bosses providing increased ground connections to the electrical ground, thereby reducing electrical resistance and heat generated.

  • Publication number: 20240364733
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a threat analysis platform capable of automating actions performed to analyze security-related threats affecting IT environments. Users or applications can submit objects (e.g., URLs, files, etc.) for analysis by the threat analysis platform. Once submitted, the threat analysis platform routes the objects to dedicated engines that can perform static and dynamic analysis processes to determine a likelihood that an object is associated with malicious activity such as phishing attacks, malware, or other types of security threats.

There are two interface pillows formed from a pliable material extend from the cannula section. Each of the interface pillows having an insertion tip that is distal from where each of the interface pillows meets the cannula section. An insertion bulge extends from each interface pillow between the insertion tip and the cannula section, limiting an insertion distance of the insertion tip. An insertion area of each interface pillow extends between the insertion bulge and the insertion tip during use, the insertion bulge is configured to seal against an outer edge of the nostril of a nose.

  • Patent number: 12112435
    Abstract: Extended reality (XR) software application programs establish remote collaboration sessions in which a host device and one or more remote devices can interact. When initiating a remote collaboration session, an XR application in a host device determines a collaboration area. The collaboration area corresponds to a portion of a real-world environment that is shared by the host device with the one or more remote devices. In some embodiments, the collaboration area can be determined automatically and/or based on user input. The XR application causes sensors associated with the host device to scan the collaboration area. Then, the XR application transmits, to the one or more remote devices, a three-dimensional representation of the collaboration area for rendering in one or more remote XR environments.

  • Patent number: 12062234
    Abstract: A client device that includes a camera and an extended reality client application program is employed by a user in a physical space, such as an industrial or campus environment. The user aims the camera within the mobile device at a real-world asset, such as a computer system, classroom, or vehicle. The client device acquires a digital image via the camera and detects textual and/or pictorial content included in the acquired image that corresponds to one or more anchors. The client device queries a data intake and query system for asset content associated with the detected anchors. Upon receiving the asset content from the data intake and query system, the client device generates visualizations of the asset content and presents the visualizations via a display device.
