Patent number: 11927128Abstract: Rotary machines are disclosed that include, in one embodiment, a rotatable shaft defining a central axis A, the shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft can have a first hub that defines a first gearbox disposed thereon with a plurality pivots. At least one contour also having pivots is connected to the first gearbox pivots by two linkages exterior to the first gearbox. The contour has a convex outer surface that cooperates with an inwardly facing curved surface of a housing to form a working volume. A gearbox mechanism including gears, crankshafts, bearings and connecting rods creates an oscillatory motion 2 times per revolution in the linkages such that the contour is forced to navigate about the arcuate cavity without contacting the cavity at a high rate of rotating speed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Lumenium LLCInventors: William A. Lukaczyk, William R. Anderson, David Gerrish

Publication number: 20220245288Abstract: Computer display privacy and security for computer systems. In one aspect, the invention provides a computer-controlled system for regulating the interaction between a computer and a user of the computer based on the environment of the computer and the user. For example, the computer-controlled system provided by the invention comprises an input-output device including an image sensor configured to collect facial recognition data proximate to the computer. The system also includes a user security parameter database encoding security parameters associated with the user; the database is also configured to communicate with the security processor. The security processor is configured to receive the facial recognition data and the security parameters associated with the user, and is further configured to at least partially control the operation of the data input device and the data output device in response to the facial recognition data and the security parameters associated with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: Tobii ABInventors: William R.
