Publication number: 20230252741Abstract: A computer implemented method for updating a point map on a system having first and second communicatively coupled hardware components includes the first component performing a first process on the point map, in a first state to generate a first change. The method also includes the second component performing a second process on the point map, in the first state to generate a second change. The method further includes the second component applying the second change to the point map, in the first state to generate a first updated point map in a second state. Moreover, the method includes the first component sending the first change to the second component. In addition, the method includes the second component applying the first change to the first updated point map in the second state to generate a second updated point map in a third state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Hélder Toshiro SUZUKI, Benjamin Wheeler STILES

Patent number: 11134612Abstract: A lawn mower to weed trimmer attachment apparatus for simultaneously weed trimming and lawn mowing includes a pair of attachment arms each comprising an upper arm and a lower arm. The upper arm has a threaded adjustment aperture to receive an adjustment bolt to selectively engage the lower arm and fix the height of the attachment arm. A trimmer cradle is coupled to the upper arm and is configured to receive a trimmer arm of a weed trimmer. A mower tube is coupled to the lower arm. The mower tube has an attachment aperture and is configured to receive an attachment hardware set. The mower tube is configured to receive the mower arm of a lawn mower. A pair of cross braces extends between the pair of attachment arms and a support brace is coupled to the mower arm.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Inventor: Benjamin Wheeler

Publication number: 20210256692Abstract: A system generates a context mask based on quantitative image data. The system obtains the quantitative image data which was captured via a quantitative imaging of a sample. The quantitative image data is compared to previous quantitative image data through application of the quantitative image data to a neural network trained using the previous quantitative image data and corresponding constructed context masks. The comparison generates the context mask for the quantitative image data. The context mask provides context for the quantitative parameter values that facilities characterization of the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Gabriel Popescu, Mikhail Eugene Kandel, Yuchen He, Nahil A.

Patent number: 8452437Abstract: A method identifies time sensitive processing sequences within a production environment using a computerized device. The processing sequences perform operations utilizing one or more tools. The method also identifies non-committed work in process items that are grouped in non-committed lots for release into one or more of the time sensitive processing sequences, and identifies committed work in process items that are being processed in committed lots within the time sensitive processing sequences, using the computerized device. The method sorts the non-committed lots by a predetermined priority, again using the computerized device. Starting with the highest priority non-committed lot (and continuing with others of the non-committed lots in priority order) the method determines whether there is available tool capacity to process a non-committed lot through each corresponding time sensitive processing sequence using the computerized device.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard G. Burda, John T. Federico, Oliver Liao, Thomas D. Stahlecker, Jonathan Levy, Benjamin Wheeler

Publication number: 20070160448Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and system for pod transportation within a semiconductor fabrication facility. The invention comprises a material control system that determines a pod that a station will require next and then sends an instruction to a vehicle to receive the pod that the station currently has and deliver the pod that the station will require next. The invention reduces cycle time by minimizing transportation moves of vehicles within the semiconductor fabrication facility.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2006Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Benjamin Wheeler, Jeffrey Gifford, David Pinckney, Uldis Ziemins

Publication number: 20070128010Abstract: The invention is directed to an improved apparatus and method for transportation of a pod in a semiconductor fabrication facility. The invention comprises a lead vehicle with a communication system and control system and a trailer with a mechanism for delivering and receiving pods from stations in the facility. The trailer is connected to the lead vehicle and has a compartment for the transportation of a pod, but comprises fewer components than the lead vehicle. Therefore, the invention is manufactured at reduced cost, but with double pod transportation capacity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2005Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey Gifford, David Pinckney, Benjamin Wheeler, Uldis Ziemins

Publication number: 20060081489Abstract: A clean room covering or enclosure for a portable computer, wherein the computer has a keyboard portion and a screen portion connected by a hinge foldable between closed and open positions. The enclosure comprises a flexible sleeve for receiving the keyboard portion of the portable computer, with the sleeve having an opening through which the keyboard portion is inserted and removed, a transparent portion for viewing and operating the keyboard and a gas permeable vent portion adapted to restrict flow of contaminant particles. A flexible flap extends from the sleeve portion and is adapted to wrap around and over the screen portion of the portable computer, and has a transparent portion for viewing the screen. The enclosure also includes a reclosable seal for securing the flexible flap around the screen portion. The reclosable seal preferably secures the flexible sleeve opening to restrict flow of contaminant particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin Wheeler, Jeffrey Gifford, Peter Shaffer
