Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed toward enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments a transferee device may receive a first request to obtain access rights for an electronic device associated with a transferor device. The transferor device may receive a second request to grant access rights for the electronic device. Embodiments may include receiving, at the transferee device, a device key associated with the electronic device and storing the device key in association with the electronic device. Embodiments may further include issuing a command from at least one of the transferee or transferor devices to unlock the electronic device, and causing the electronic device to comply with the command to unlock if the at least one of the transferee or transferor devices that issues the command has access to the device key when the command is issued.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments of the system, a first user (e.g., a transferor) may, upon determining that access rights should be granted to a second user (e.g., a transferee), generate a transaction record. The transaction record may then be provided to a registry network, which may verify a digital signature of the transaction record as well as a current ownership status. Upon verification, the transaction record may be written to an ownership registry and a mobile application server may be notified of the transaction. Once notified, the mobile application server may transmit a device key to a user device associated with the transferee. Once the device key has been received at the transferee user device, it may be used to issue commands to the electronic device.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for generating a record of objects, as well as respective positions for those objects, with respect to a user. In some embodiments, a user may use a user device to scan an area that includes one or more objects. The one or more objects may be identified from image information obtained from the user device. Positional information for each of the one or more objects may be determined from depth information obtained from a depth sensor installed upon the user device. In some embodiments, the one or more objects may be mapped to object models stored in an object model database. The image information displayed on the user device may be augmented so that it depicts the object models associated with the one or more objects instead of the actual objects.

Abstract: An ergonomic manual driver includes a handle having ergonomic recesses. A manual driver includes a shank and a handle attached to the shank. The handle includes a proximal portion, a middle portion, and a distal portion. The distal portion has a distal portion distal end cross section that includes polygonal perimeter line segments joined by intervening perimeter segments. The distal portion has a distal portion proximal end cross section that includes polygonal perimeter line segments joined by intervening perimeter segments. Orientations of the polygonal perimeter line segments of the distal portion distal end are offset rotationally by 15 degrees to 45 degrees around the shank axis relative to the polygonal perimeter line segments of the distal portion proximal end. The distal portion comprises distal portion recesses, which extend from the distal portion proximal end to the distal portion distal end.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for issuing commands to an electronic device as well as techniques for transferring a device key to a user device associated with a user who has gained authorization to issue commands to the electronic device. In some embodiments, a device key may be conveyed directly from an access device to a user device. In some embodiments, the device key may be conveyed to a user device by a mobile application server which is in communication with the user device upon receiving an indication that an operator of the user device is authorized to issue commands to the electronic device.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for implementing a tool-agnostic device. In examples, the system may determine location and state information using sensors of the tool-agnostic device. Based on this information, the system may communicate with a virtual reality system for display and user interaction with a virtual reality environment. The tool-agnostic device may be removed and re-attached to a number of different tools. The tool-agnostic device allows tracking of a number of different tools without customization or retrofitting each tool. The tool-agnostic device may serve as a safety-shutoff device in addition to tracking tool use and movement. When the system determines that a tool is operating in an unsafe manner the tool-agnostic device may interrupt the power to the tool.

Abstract: A flame simulator includes a light beam source that projects a beam of light, a flame screen, a light beam mover that imparts movement to at least a part of the light beam source, and a range limiter. The light beam source includes a light source adapted to produce light and at least one light conditioner adapted to act on the light from the light source to produce the beam of light with a color, size and shape that mimics a flame when the beam strikes the flame screen. The range limiter is operatively associated with the light beam source so that the beam of light, when being projected, strikes at least a portion of the flame screen and causes illumination of the flame screen by the beam of light.
