Publication number: 20160196126Abstract: A light installer can be utilized to improve the installation process of a client-side application. A light installer can be an installer containing only the necessary information to initiate the installation process, such as information necessary for prompting the user for required data and authorizations, communicating with the content management system, downloading additional resources, and installing the client-side application. The light installer can minimize user interaction time by obtaining all necessary user authorizations early in the installation process, thereby enabling the light installer to install all components of the client-side application without further authorization from the user. Further, the light installer can be tagged with data identifying a user account associated with the client device that can be used for reporting, pre-populating data during the installation process, customizing the installation process, pre-authorizing the client-side application, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventor: Ambrus CSASZAR

Publication number: 20150371082Abstract: An adaptive tracking system for spatial input devices provides real-time tracking of spatial input devices for human-computer interaction in a Spatial Operating Environment (SOE). The components of an SOE include gestural input/output; network-based data representation, transit, and interchange; and spatially conformed display mesh. The SOE comprises a workspace occupied by one or more users, a set of screens which provide the users with visual feedback, and a gestural control system which translates user motions into command inputs. Users perform gestures with body parts and/or physical pointing devices, and the system translates those gestures into actions such as pointing, dragging, selecting, or other direct manipulations. The tracking system provides the requisite data for creating an immersive environment by maintaining a model of the spatial relationships between users, screens, pointing devices, and other physical objects within the workspace.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Ambrus CSASZAR, Dima KOGAN, Paul YARIN

Patent number: 9027097Abstract: Some systems allow a user to access content using both a native client application and a web interface. In these systems, the client application authorized to access a user account can assist with automatically logging a user into the web interface through the use of authentication tokens. In response to an authentication request, the client application can select a token and split it into multiple parts. One piece can be embedded in a URL and a second piece can be stored in a file. The file can also contain browser executable instructions that when executed combine the two pieces to re-create the token and send the re-created token to a server to authenticate the user. The client application can forward the URL to the browser, which can direct the browser to the file. The browser can execute the instructions thereby authenticating the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Bortz, Ambrus Csaszar, David Euresti, Dwayne Litzenberger

Publication number: 20140258473Abstract: A content item on a content management system can be shared using a generated sharing link. The sharing link can be a custom network address, such as a uniform resource locator (URL), which allows the content item to be accessed without authentication. The sharing index and a content path of the content items can be listed in a sharing index used to identify the content upon a request initiated by the sharing link. The content management system can generate a content link to a content item upon receiving a sharing input from a user indicating the user wants to share a content item. Alternatively, in some embodiments, sharing links can be pre-generated by the content management system and stored on the client device. The sharing link can stored directly to a data buffer on the client device, such as a clipboard, where it can be accessed by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: DROPBOX, INC.Inventors: Dwayne LITZENBERGER, Matt HOLDEN, David EURESTI, Maxime LARABIE-BELANGER, Ambrus CSASZAR, Peter WELINDER, Bryan JADOT

Patent number: 8192027Abstract: A suntracking system for a central receiver solar power plant includes a heliostat field for reflecting sunlight to a receiver, cameras directed toward at least a subset of the heliostats, and a controller. The cameras are configured to produce images of sunlight reflected from multiple heliostats. The heliostats include a mirrored surface having a settable orientation and have a geometry modeled by a set of parameters. A method of estimating heliostat parameters for open-loop suntracking includes acquiring pointing samples by setting the direction of reflection of the heliostats and detecting concurrent sunlight reflections into the cameras. The method uses the acquired pointing samples and surveyed locations of the cameras to estimate the heliostat parameters. The method accurately maintains the sun's reflection directed toward the receiver open-loop utilizing the estimated tracking parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Esolar, Inc.Inventors: Dan S.
