Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for adding effects in augmented reality environments
Patent number: 11941764Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras, including a representation of a portion of a three-dimensional physical environment that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system receives a request to add a first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request to add the first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras and in accordance with a determination that the first virtual effect requires a scan of the physical environment, the computer system initiates a scan of the physical environment to detect one or more features of the physical environment and displays a user interface that indicates a progress of the scan of the physical environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Andrew L. Harding, James A. Queen, Joseph-Alexander P. Weil, Joanna M. Newman, Ron A. Buencamino, Richard H. Salvador, Fernando Garcia, Austin T. Tamaddon, Omid Khalili, Scott W. Wilson, Thomas H. Smith, III -
Patent number: 10040541Abstract: A method includes receiving pump cycle location data associated with a fluid power system.

Publication number: 20100223783Abstract: A grid array socket pin field is protected during manufacture of an information handling system with a dust cap having first and second attachment devices. The first attachment device secures the cap to the socket during assembly of the socket in the computer. The second attachment device secures the cap to a load mechanism assemble proximate the socket. Engagement of the second attachment device to the cap automatically releases the cap from the socket to allow removal of the cap from the socket by actuation of the load mechanism to an open position. The second attachment device secures the cap to the load mechanism until a processor is placed in the socket.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2010Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Shawn Hoss, Steven Stubbs, Thomas M. Wilson

Patent number: 6302723Abstract: Insulation displacing connectors extend upwardly from a base of the terminal block into connector chambers of driver modules movable relative to the base between upper and lower positions. Passageways within the modules direct service wires moved through the passageways into the connector chambers and into entrance openings underlying upper edge portions of the insulation displacing connectors within the chambers. Movement of the module from its upper position to its lower position drives the service wires downwardly from the entrance openings of the connectors into and through slots underlying the entrance openings, to establish electrical contact with the service wires and the connectors and, in the case of larger diameter wires, to impale the service wires upon impaling elements resisting pullout of the wires.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2000Date of Patent: October 16, 2001Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Thomas Matthew Baum, Michael Eugene Grice, Thomas M. Wilson, James A. Pinyan, Stephen Elliott Wald, Roy Thompson

Patent number: 5891665Abstract: It has been shown that a 5' untranslated leader sequences of RNA virus non-structural genes act as enhancers of translation of mRNA. These leader sequences can be ligated upstream of an appropriate mRNA or used in the form of a cDNA expression vector. The translational enhancers are effective in many different types of expression systems, such as plant cells, bacterial cells and animal cells as well as translation systems made from these cells. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), brome mosaic virus (BMV), alfalfa mosaic virus (A1MV) and rous sarcoma virus (RSV) are examples of RNA viruses whose 5' untranslated leader sequences of non-structural genes enhance translation.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Diatech LimitedInventor: Thomas M.
