Title: Display control apparatus and control method thereof
Inventor: YUICHIRO ISHITSUKA
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2017-01-05
Abstract: A display control apparatus, e.g. controlling the touchscreen display on a digital camera, performs control, when a multi-touch operation, e.g. a pinch gesture, is detected and a predetermined touch operation, e.g. a drag gesture to move the displayed image, is not detected, such that a display object is enlarged or reduced in accordance with the multi-touch operation with reference to a first position based on the locations at which the multi-touch operation is performed e.g. the mid-point between the two touch locations. When a predetermined touch operation is detected within a predetermined period of the multi-touch gesture, or if a touch from the predetermined operation is maintained during the multi-touch gesture, the display object is resized with reference to a second position 405 that is not based on the multi-touch operation. The second reference point may be the centre or edge of the display region.

Title: Bollard receiver identification
Inventor: HARPREETSINGH BANVAIT
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-01-27
Abstract: A method involves receiving perception data from one or more vehicle sensors, determining based on this data a location of one or more bollard receivers in relation to the body of the vehicle, and providing an indication of the location of the bollard receivers to one or more of a driver and a driving maneuver decision component. The method may involve determining the location further based on a vehicle driving history, and may also involve logging information about the bollard receiver to said driving history. The height of the bollard receiver may be determined. The method may involve determining a driving maneuver based upon the bollard receiver location. Such a maneuver may determine a safety margin for tires with respect to the receivers and avoid driving a tire within said margin. Alternatively the maneuver may comprise driving over the bollard receiver using a tread portion of a tire. The method may also include adjusting an active suspension of the vehicle based upon the presence of the one or more bollard receivers.

Title: Binding of devices in a process plant using I/O-abstracted field device configurations
Inventor: LARRY OSCAR JUNDT
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2016-10-12
Abstract: During commissioning activities of a process plant, a device placeholder object that stores an I/O-abstracted configuration of a particular field device within the plant is created and stored in a device in the back-end environment of the plant and a further configuration file is stored in or for the particular field device in the field equipment environment of the plant. The device placeholder object, which will eventually be associated with the particular field device, and the field device configuration file are used to perform separate commissioning activities in each of these plant environments before the field devices are configured to communicate with a process controller via a particular I/O network within the plant. Thereafter, a binding application performs a discovery process to detect the I/O communication path through which each field device is connected to the back-end environment. The discovery process traverses through the I/O network as built, and autosenses the devices within the I/O network until this process discovers a device placeholder object or a configuration file for a particular field device. The binding application then determines if the information within these two device configuration files match, and if so, binds the field device to the back-end by storing the detected communication path for the particular device in a configuration database, such as in the device placeholder object for the particular field device. If the configuration information in the device placeholder object does not match the configuration file for a discovered field device, the binding application may perform a reconciliation procedure to determine the correct configuration information for the particular field device.
