Patent number: 11884010Abstract: A printing method employs a piece of equipment comprising an energy-delivering exciter that is orientable to produce a punctiform interaction with at least one ink that possibly contains non-uniformities and that is deposited on a printing medium including a transparent interaction area, in order to cause the transfer of a targeted portion of the ink to a receiver. The method includes a step of generating a wetting film at least partially covering the transparent interaction area, followed by a step of depositing the ink on the surface of the wetting film and transferring steps.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: POIETISInventors: Dan Soto, Fabien Guillemot, Bertrand Viellerobe, Aude Clapies

Patent number: 8773245Abstract: There is provided a physical token for use in a defined venue with a server having communication with the physical token. The physical token may comprise an identification data and a transmitter configured to transmit the identification data. The physical token is configured to transmit the identification data to the server to cause the server to initiate a sensory interaction with a user possessing the physical token. The sensory interaction may comprise a character in the defined venue interacting with the user possessing the physical token. The sensory interaction may also comprise a display screen in the defined venue displaying information to the user possessing the physical token. The sensory interaction may further comprise an audio speaker in the defined venue announcing information to the user possessing the physical token. The physical token may represent an affinity comprising an experience, entitlement, or characteristic of the user possessing the physical token.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: David Canora, David Worrall, Andy Schwalb, John Padgett, Eric Jacobson, Jim MacPhee, Kevin Rice, Dan Soto

Publication number: 20100052916Abstract: There is provided an identification band configured to be associated with a wearer. The identification band comprises a first band transceiver configured to receive a first profile of the wearer; a memory configured to store the first profile; and a sentinel circuit configured to detect removal of the identification band from the wearer and to detect reattachment of the identification band; wherein the identification band configured to dissociate from the wearer if the sentinel circuit detects removal of the identification band from the wearer, the identification band further configured to re-associate to the wearer if the sentinel circuit detects reattachment of the identification band. The identification band may dissociate from the wearer by invalidating the first profile stored in the memory, and the identification band may re-associate to the wearer upon receiving a second profile that uniquely identifies the first profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: David Canora, Andy Schwalb, Eric Jacobson, Jim Macphee, Kevin Rice, Dan Soto, David Worrall, Frank Farro, John Padgett
