Patent number: 11257573Abstract: A process receives, with a receiver, health and wellness data of a user that is sensed by one or more sensors during consumption by the user of media content. Further, the process receives, with the receiver, health and wellness data of the user that is determined by a healthcare provider during an event that is distinct from the consumption of the media content. In addition, the process aggregates, with a processor, the health and wellness data of the user that is sensed and the health and wellness data of the user that is determined by the health care provider into an aggregated health and wellness data model. The process also determines, with the processor, one or more optimal audio/visual device settings based on the aggregated health and wellness data model.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Head, Lee Bombard, Yazmaliza Yaacob

Patent number: 11212166Abstract: In one implementation, a system providing remote access set-up for electronic devices includes a mobile device and a profile server communicatively coupled to the mobile device via a network. The profile server includes a hardware processor, and a server memory storing a profile management software code and a profile information associated with a user of the mobile device. The hardware processor executes the profile management software code to receive, via the network, a platform ID of a configurable hardware platform communicatively coupled to the mobile device, and to determine, based on the platform ID, platform assets including a default configuration associated with the configurable hardware platform.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Yazmaliza Yaacob, Lee Bombard, Gregory Head, Alexander C. Chen

Patent number: 10372207Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to adaptive virtual reality and augmented reality viewing based on a user's eye condition data. In a first implementation, a software application renders video content based on the user's eye condition data by mapping the user's eye condition data to video rendering parameters. The video content rendered based on the user's eye condition data may be made available to a virtual reality/augmented reality player and played using a head mounted display. The video content rendered based on the user's eye condition data may be pre-rendered before video content playback or rendered in real time during video content playback. In an additional implementation, the head mounted display may be calibrated and adjusted based on the eye condition data prior to video playback.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Lee Bombard, Yazmaliza Yaacob, Gregory Head

Patent number: 7476951Abstract: A process for etching a sacrificial layer of a structure. The structure is exposed to a plasma derived from nitrogen trifluoride for etching the sacrificial layer. The process is selective in that it etches titanium-nitride and titanium but does not affect adjacent silicon dioxide or aluminum layers. Applications of the process include the formation of integrated circuit structures and MEMS structures.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2006Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: Timothy S. Campbell, Daniel P. Chesire, Kelly Hinckley, Gregory A. Head, Benu B. Patel

Patent number: 5453933Abstract: A CNC machine tool control system that includes a controllable, movable tool for shaping a workpiece, a mechanism for receiving control instructions describing shaping functions to be performed on the workpiece, a processing unit and memory. The control systems includes objects defined according to an object oriented design. One type of object is a model of a shaping process to be performed on a workpiece, including informational parameters regarding the physical dimensions of the shape resulting from the process. The process objects communicates through an object oriented messaging system to machine objects, which represent physical devices present on the CNC machine on which the control system operates. The system also includes object oriented motion control and exception handler objects, each of which may communication with other object via object oriented messages.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1993Date of Patent: September 26, 1995Assignee: Hurco Companies, Inc.Inventors: Michael R.
