Patent number: 11983006Abstract: Movement of an autonomously motile device may be controlled by a user device. The user device may display image data captured by a camera of the autonomously motile device; a user may provide input, such as a touch gesture on a display screen, indicating a command for the autonomously motile device to move to a location indicated by the input. The autonomously motile device determines a coordinate of the input and a time of the touch input; the autonomously motile device then determines a direction and distance of a corresponding movement.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amy Solenberg, Anil Kumar Katta, Swati S. Rao, Swetha Bijoy, Anthony George Robson, David Allen Fotland, Robert Franklin Ebert, Roger Robert Webster, Adam Fineberg

Patent number: 7724258Abstract: 3D graphics animation is increasingly used in movies and virtual reality computer games to produce realistic visual simulations of physical and natural phenomena. The animation of diffuse liquids such as gases is an indispensable component in such special effects. The present system and methods utilize physically-based and more intuitive procedurally-based simulation techniques to simulate and render natural phenomena in computer graphics. The present invention facilitates user interaction in order to generate a variety of gas effects, for example, waves within water, plumes within hot gas, and flames within fire. Improved user interaction is achieved by improving rendering performance and introducing a new method of high-level control for Eulerian simulations.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David S. Ebert, Joshua Schpok

Publication number: 20090137881Abstract: Coordinated animal-human health monitoring can provide an early warning system with fewer false alarms for naturally occurring disease outbreaks, as well as biological, chemical and environmental incidents. This monitoring requires the integration and analysis of multi-field, multi-scale and multi-source data sets. In order to better understand these data sets, models and measurements at different resolutions must be analyzed. To facilitate these investigations, we have created an application to provide a visual analytics framework for analyzing both human emergency room data and veterinary hospital data. Our integrated visual analytic tool links temporally varying geospatial visualization of animal and human patient health information with advanced statistical analysis of these multi-source data. Various statistical analysis techniques have been applied in conjunction with a spatio-temporal viewing window.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2008Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technologies CommercializationInventors: David S.

Publication number: 20020167486Abstract: A body support structure such as a chair provides an input device for a computer or computer-controlled apparatus via sensors associated with the chair. The sensing chair sensor or sensors covering the seat and/or seat back. The sensing chair determines an occupant's position, movement, weight shifting, and/or other parameters regarding the occupant. In one form, the sensor is adapted to obtain pressure and pressure distribution of the occupant in the sensing chair, both static and real-time. The pressure and/or pressure distribution data/signals for the occupant is processed to provide control/control signals to a processing system, computer, and/or computer-controlled apparatus. The sensing chair provides novel opportunities for human-computer interaction, such as input for the automobile industry, the office industry, for interactive graphical user interfaces/displays, and for computer games and gaming systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2002Publication date: November 14, 2002Inventors: Hong Z.
