Patent number: 8494224Abstract: A system and method for reducing distance-based distortion in a camera image of an object, where the distanced-based distortion is due to differences in distance from the camera to different parts of the object. In one approach, the distortion is reduced by estimating distances to different parts of the object and then generating a reprojected image of the object dependent upon the estimated distances and upon a virtual viewpoint that is more distant than the camera from the object. In a further approach, the image is warped such that points in the image match corresponding points in one or more stored templates. In a still further approach, if excessive distortion is present in the image, the camera zoom is increased and a magnified image is displayed, prompting a person to move farther from the camera thereby reducing the distortion.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Boaz J. Super, Bruce A. Augustine, James E. Crenshaw, Evan A. Groat, Michael S. Theims

Patent number: 7451009Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing defect data indicative of defects in a product is described. In one example, each of the defects is assigned one of a plurality of severity levels and one of a plurality of impact levels. The defects are classified into categories based on combinations of severity level and impact level. A graphic representative of a topographical relation among numbers of defects in the categories is generated. The graphic is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI).Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: David Grubb, Tom Doblmaier, Glen P. Goffin, Evan A. Groat, Steven M. Mensoff, Dan Quigley

Publication number: 20080008194Abstract: A system (30) and network bypass device (28) for bypassing application specific data traffic past a network routing device. The network routing device routes data traffic between a first network, such as the Internet or wide-area network (WAN) and a second network, such as a residential network or other local area network (LAN). The network bypass device routes data traffic associated with various standard application devices in the LAN from the first network to the network routing device, for routing to the standard application devices. The network bypass device also routes data traffic associated with various application specific or bypass application devices from the first network to the bypass application devices in such a way that the data traffic bypasses the network routing device. In this manner, the flow of data traffic intended for the bypass application devices is not restricted by the network routing device and its security elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2006Publication date: January 10, 2008Inventors: Glen P. Goffin, Evan A. Groat, David Grubb, Jeffrey D. Ollis
