20130090930 | Speech Recognition for Context Switching - Various embodiments provide techniques for implementing speech recognition for context switching In at least some embodiments, the techniques can enable a user to switch between different contexts and/or user interfaces of an application via speech commands. In at least some embodiments, a context menu is provided that lists available contexts for an application that may be navigated to via speech commands. In implementations, the contexts presented in the context menu include a subset of a larger set of contexts that are filtered based on a variety of context filtering criteria. A user can speak one of the contexts presented in the context menu to cause a navigation to a user interface associated with one of the contexts. | 04-11-2013 |

20120100910 | HIGH QUALITY VIDEO GAME REPLAY - A system and method for producing video replay output of a gameplay sequence are disclosed. The gameplay sequence occurs during execution of a video game, and is recorded during gameplay to yield a recording that is of relatively lower quality relative to an ultimate output. A tag may be associated with an event occurring during the gameplay sequence. Using the tag, the method further includes receiving a user selection of the gameplay sequence. The method further includes, subsequent to gameplay, producing a viewable representation of relatively higher quality of the gameplay sequence via processing of the relatively lower quality recording, and may further include outputting the viewable representation as a standard-format video file. | 04-26-2012 |
20120157198 | DRIVING SIMULATOR CONTROL WITH VIRTUAL SKELETON - Depth-image analysis is performed with a device that analyzes a human target within an observed scene by capturing depth-images that include depth information from the observed scene. The human target is modeled with a virtual skeleton including a plurality of joints. The virtual skeleton is used as an input for controlling a driving simulation. | 06-21-2012 |

20140131335 | WELDING GUN HAVING NON-THREADING CONTACT TIP - A welding gun adapted to secure a contact tip within the welding gun without threading the contact tip and without the use of tools. The contact tip may be adapted to abut a surface of a first member disposed within the welding gun. The surface may be a surface of a gas diffuser. The surface may be adapted to abut the contact tip. The contact tip also may be adapted for abutment with a second member to urge the contact tip toward the first member. The second member may be a portion of a nozzle adapted to abut the contact tip to urge the contact tip toward the surface of the first member. A method of assembling a welding gun also is provided. The method may include disposing a contact tip between a first and a second member and capturing the contact tip between the first and second members. | 05-15-2014 |

20090078688 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING A WELDING GUN - A welding gun includes a handle, an input line, a neck and an acoustic wave trigger. The handle is configured to be grasped by an operator and includes first and second ends. The input line connects to a first end of the handle and is configured to deliver wire and/or gas to the welding gun. The neck is operatively connected to the second end of the handle. The wire and/or gas passes into the neck and out through a nozzle. The acoustic wave trigger is secured to the handle and activates the welding gun when merely touched, as opposed to being squeezed or pressed, by the operator. | 03-26-2009 |
20090152254 | CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR A WELDING GUN - A welding gun includes a control switch combined with a trigger. The control switch features a slide movable to at least first and second positions. In an operating mode, the control switch switches between two differing sets of welding parameters in the first and second positions. In another operating mode, the control switch operates a safety lock-out, allowing activation of the welding gun by the trigger in one position and preventing activation in the other position. For operator convenience, the control switch may be positioned to slide transversely relative to the wire passageway of the weld gun with which the trigger is generally aligned. | 06-18-2009 |
