Publication number: 20240150729Abstract: The instant invention discloses a closed-system, serum-free, microcarrier-based up-stream process to produce dengue virus. The process comprises a closed-system cell expansion comprising cell passages taking place in closed-system containers. These cell expansions represent a closed process, with replacement media, a cell-detachment agent, and quench medium added though sterile, weldable tubing (a closed-system environment) to eliminate all open aseptic processing following the initial vial thaw of the adherent cells. The viral production takes place in a closed-system bioreactor in adherent cell culture grown on microcarriers providing sufficient cell mass to support the production of dengue virus.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Pooja Chadha, Kent Harley Hamaker, Shannon Haughney, Samantha J.

Patent number: 10796494Abstract: A method, medium, and virtual object for providing a virtual representation with an attribute are described. The virtual representation is generated based on a digitization of a real-world object. Properties of the virtual representation, such as colors, shape similarities, volume, surface area, and the like are identified and an amount or degree of exhibition of those properties by the virtual representation is determined. The properties are employed to identify attributes associated with the virtual representation, such as temperature, weight, or sharpness of an edge, among other attributes of the virtual object. A degree of exhibition of the attributes is also determined based on the properties and their degrees of exhibition. Thereby, the virtual representation is provided with one or more attributes that instruct presentation and interactions of the virtual representation in a virtual world.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Shawn C Wright, Jeffrey Jesus Evertt, Justin Avram Clark, Christopher Harley Willoughby, Mike Scavezze, Michael A Spalding, Kevin Geisner, Daniel L.

Patent number: 10460445Abstract: To digitize an object, a camera captures images of different sides of the object with color and depth data. At least two different sides of the object are identified from the images, and constructions are created of the sides of the object from the images. Points of the constructions to connect to one another are determined and used to align the constructions. The construction are merged to generate a rendition of the object. Various techniques are applied to extrapolate edges, remove seams, extend color intelligently, filter noise, apply skeletal structure to the object, and optimize the digitization further. The rendition of the object can be provided for display as a digital representation of the object and potentially used in different applications (e.g., games, Web, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Jesus Evertt, Justin Avram Clark, Christopher Harley Willoughby, Mike Scavezze, Joel Deaguero, Relja Markovic, Joe Sola, David Haley

Patent number: 9953426Abstract: Digitizing objects in a picture is discussed herein. A user presents the object to a camera, which captures the image comprising color and depth data for the front and back of the object. For both front and back images, the closest point to the camera is determined by analyzing the depth data. From the closest points, edges of the object are found by noting large differences in depth data. The depth data is also used to construct point cloud constructions of the front and back of the object. Various techniques are applied to extrapolate edges, remove seams, extend color intelligently, filter noise, apply skeletal structure to the object, and optimize the digitization further. Eventually, a digital representation is presented to the user and potentially used in different applications (e.g., games, Web, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Jesus Evertt, Justin Avram Clark, Christopher Harley Willoughby, Mike Scavezze, Joel Deaguero, Relja Markovic, Joe Sola, David Haley

Patent number: 9336625Abstract: Digitizing objects in a picture is discussed herein. A user presents the object to a camera, which captures the image comprising color and depth data for the front and back of the object. The object is recognized and digitized using color and depth data of the image. The user's client queries a server managing images uploaded by other users for virtual renditions of the object, as recognized in the other images. The virtual renditions from the other images are merged with the digitized version of the object in the image captured by the user to create a composite rendition of the object.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Jesus Evertt, Justin Avram Clark, Christopher Harley Willoughby, Joel Deaguero, Relja Markovic

Publication number: 20080118141Abstract: A printer receives a plurality of image sections and corresponding image headers from the host as an image concatenation command. The plurality of image sections store the plurality of image sections in a print queue. The printer creates a virtual canvas representing a full image size. The printer determines how many lines of uniform data are present in a top border and a bottom border of the plurality of image sections. A variable formatting module of the printer crops a bottom border of a first image section to create a cropped first image section and a top border of a last image section to create a cropped last image section. The variable formatting module creates a first image frame in the virtual canvas corresponding to the first image section minus the bottom border and a last image frame corresponding to the last image section minus the top border.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2007Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Erica Sommer, Jeremy Audino, Christopher Harley
