Title: Three dimensional image generation
Inventor: FUENTES DANIELA MARIA PAREDES
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2014-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for generating and editing three-dimensional images. A visualization device (such as a head mounted display, HMD, heads-up-display, HUD, or an augmented reality display device), Figure 1 200, displays a three-dimension image volume comprising a three-dimensional image, with the position and orientation of an input surface, 102, being visible within the three-dimension image volume. A user input, 104, is then received via the input surface that is indicative of a two-dimensional image provided in the plane of the input surface. First positional data indicative of a relative position and orientation of the input surface in relation to the three-dimensional image volume is then determined. Subsequently the three-dimensional image is modified to include a three-dimensional representation of the two-dimensional image, the three-dimensional representation having a position and orientation within the three-dimensional image volume determined from the first positional data. The invention enables the user to draw and modify the three-dimensional image by inputting a two-dimensional image onto the input surface. The two-dimensional image is then incorporated into the three-dimensional image and the image volume moved (for example by rotation) to enable further details to be added.

Title: Predicting motor failure based on relationship of motor pair characteristics
Inventor: WILSON JAMES
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2014-02-21
Abstract: A system and method of predicting motor failure based on relationships of motor pair characteristics, such as temperatures. A motor pair detection module receives temperatures for each motor of a motor pair over a predetermined window. The motor pair detection module 460 determines whether at least one of the temperatures of the first motor and the second motor exceeds a temperature threshold during the predetermined time window. The motor pair detection module 465 further determines whether the temperature of the first motor differed from the temperature of the second motor by at least a difference threshold for at least a percentage threshold of the predetermined time window. Based on the determinations, the motor pair temperature outputs an alarm signal 475 to indicate a potential impending failure of one of the motors of the motor pair. The motor pair may be for a mining machine.
