  • Patent number: 11126336
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can present a dynamic street scene overlay when presenting a map view on a display of the computing device. The dynamic street scene overlay can be presented such that a user can clearly view both the dynamic street scene and the map view. The dynamic street scene can be dynamically adjusted in response to the user manipulating the map view to a different location. The dynamic street scene can be presented such that the objects in the images of the dynamic street scene have a three-dimensional look and feel. The dynamic street scene can be presented such that the dynamic street scene does not prevent the user from viewing and interacting with the map view.

  • Patent number: 7200256
    Abstract: A system for pin protrusion measurement of a fastener includes a pin protrusion measurement probe having an electronic camera and a probe socket. The probe socket fits over a nut of the fastener and establishes a fixed, stable position of the pin protrusion measurement probe relative to the fastener. Light from the fastener passes through a viewing window in the probe socket, is reflected through a right angle prism, focused by a lens, and forms an image of the fastener in the electronic camera. A real-time monitor display allows an operator to view the image. A computer, connected to the electronic camera, and having a vision system, processes the image of the fastener, and provides the pin protrusion measurement.
