20130276534 | Fully adjustable liquid tank float - A fully adjustable liquid tank float incorporates a float for use for gauging the amount of fuel or other liquid contained within a storage tank, the float being connectable to an adjustable lateral arm, which pivotally connects to a vertical structure, which secures to an adaptor that is mounted onto the top of the storage tank. The adaptor connects a transparent housing, which discloses an indicator of the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The vertical structure is likewise adjustable in length. A flexible linkage connects with the indicator, and is adjustably secured with the lateral arm, to provide for a precise indication as to when the tank is full, partially full, or approaching empty. | 10-24-2013 |

20110089842 | Apparatus and Methods for Interactive Illumination - In illustrative implementations of this invention, a lighting system comprises a plurality of LEDs, fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, a processor, a sensor node and a human-computer interface. The sensor is adapted to be moved by a user and placed in the location that a user wants to illumine. The LED lights are adapted to emit pulse-width modulated (PWM) light, controlled by signals from the processor. The lighting system is adapted to optimize parameters (such as efficacy or color rendering index) selected by the user, subject to certain constraints (such as desired illuminance or color temperature). According to principles of this invention, if a sensor is moved, attenuation may be measured and the inverse square law may be used to determine how constraints in an optimization algorithm need to be updated. | 04-21-2011 |
20120031984 | Personalized Building Comfort Control - In exemplary implementations of this invention, control apparatus for a HVAC system provides personalized comfort control. It can adjust local conditions in different rooms within a building in order to maximize the perceived comfort of individual occupants. The control apparatus locates individuals within a building. For each individual, it senses temperature, humidity and other parameters at the individual's location, calculates a comfort metric indicative of the user's comfort, and can control the flow of chilled or heated air to the individual's location in order to adjust local conditions to maximize the individual's comfort. | 02-09-2012 |

20120139708 | Wireless Hand Gesture Capture - In exemplary implementations of this invention, finger and hand gestures are tracked using passive RFID tags. The RFID tags include sensors, and/or can accommodate sensor signals from adjacent sensors. An RFID reader is worn by the user. The tags may be housed in rings worn on a user's fingers, or may be located in other locations on a user's body or clothing. The RFID system may transmit in the UHF range. The sensors may include inertial sensors and proximity sensors. For example, the proximity sensors may be magnetic sensors, capacitive sensors, sensors that detect electrical contact, sensors that detect signal strength, sensors that detect detuning of resonant tags, and other sensors that measure distance or contact between two objects. | 06-07-2012 |
20130231771 | Methods and Apparatus for Handheld Tool - In exemplary implementations of this invention, a computer-assisted, handheld machining tool allows even an inexperienced user to carve a complex 3D object, while maintaining artistic freedom to modify the sculpture from an initial CAD design. The tool prevents the user from unintentionally removing material from a volume defined by the CAD design. It does so by slowing or halting spindle rotation as the bit approaches or penetrates the protected volume. The user can override this protective feature. The tool may operate in at least three interaction modes: (i) a static mode in which a static CAD model is used, where the computer assists by preventing the user from damaging the static model; (ii) a dynamic mode where the computer dynamically modifies the CAD model during the sculpting process; and (iii) an autonomous mode where the computer can operate independently of the user, for tasks such as semi-automatic texture rendering. | 09-05-2013 |

20090097671 | Distributed Acoustic Conversation Shielding System - A conversation shielding system comprises sensors that detect the location of a confidential conversation and the presence and location of a potential eavesdropper, audio output devices that produce masking sounds to shield the conversation from the eavesdropper, and a controller that automatically controls the operation of the output devices in response to data from the sensors. An optional portable controller may manually engage the system. A method for shielding conversation comprises identifying a conversation to be shielded, detecting a potential eavesdropper, automatically determining masking sound types, locations and volume that will shield the conversation, directing emission of masking sounds from at least one audio output device in order to shield the conversation, including adjusting the masking sound type, location, and volume in response to movement of the conversation or the eavesdropper, and continuing to shield the conversation until it ends or the eavesdropper is no longer detected. | 04-16-2009 |
20100116563 | Systems and Methods for Tracking Impacts - Surface impacts are located and characterized based on an acoustic signal produced by the impact despite the presence of signal dispersion. Acoustic signals from the surface may be compared to acoustic signals detected external to the surface in order to eliminate spurious impact sensing due to external sounds. Low-frequency acoustic signals may be sensed and identified as explicit hard “bangs” which are of limited utility for pointing and tracking applications. | 05-13-2010 |
20120309531 | SENSING FLOOR FOR LOCATING PEOPLE AND DEVICES - A sensing floor to locate people and devices is described. In an embodiment, the sensing floor (or sensing surface), is formed from a flexible substrate on which a number of distributed sensing elements and connections between sensing elements are formed in a conductive material. In an example, these elements and connections may be printed onto the flexible substrate. The sensing floor operates in one or more modes in order to detect people in proximity to the floor. In passive mode, the floor detects signals from the environment, such as electric hum, which are coupled into a sensing element when a person stands on the sensing element. In active mode, one sensing element transmits a signal which is detected in another sensing element when a person bridges those two elements. In hybrid mode, the floor switches between passive and active mode, for example, on detection of a person in passive mode. | 12-06-2012 |
20130154915 | METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ENABLING USE OF REMOTE DEVICES WITH PRE-DEFINED GESTURES - Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for enabling use of external devices with pre-defined gestures.

20150213187 | System for Introspection and Annotation of Electronic Design Data - A system for introspection and annotation of electronic design data includes a tracked probe that interacts with an electronic circuit, a tracking system, schematics, design files, or models for the circuit, electronic design system software, and a user interface. The probe has a sensor that tracks the position of the probe within the circuit. The tracking system receives data from the sensor and translates it into coordinates reflecting the location of the probe within the circuit. The software uses the probe coordinates to locate the position of the probe on the circuit schematic, identify the circuit component at the probe location, and display information about the identified component. The displayed information preferably includes an annotated version of the circuit schematic. The system may include a measurement or instrumentation device, the probe may include at least one parameter measurement device, and the display may include information derived from the parameter measurements. | 07-30-2015 |
