Patent number: 9372530Abstract: A multimedia capture system includes a plurality of imaging systems and one or more detection systems. The plurality of imaging systems capture image areas of a scene from at least partially different locations. The one or more detection systems determine a relative position of each of the plurality of imaging systems with respect to the different locations of the scene from where the image areas are captured. The relative position of each of the plurality of imaging systems and the captured image areas are used to generate a multimedia presentation of the scene. The capture system may be worn by an individual or may be on a stationary or mobile support.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Rochester Institute of TechnologyInventors: Ian Gatley, Mitchell Rosen, James Meyer, Robert A. Clark, Jonathan Schull

Patent number: 8332328Abstract: A method and apparatus of encouraging distribution, registration, and purchase of free copyable software and other digital information which is accessed on a User's System via a Programmer's Program. Software tools which can be incorporated into a Programmer's Program allow the User to access Advanced Features of the Programmer's Program only in the presence of a valid Password which is unique to a particular Target ID generated on an ID-Target such as the User's System. Advanced features will thus re-lock if the Password is copied to another ID-target. If a valid Password is not present, the User is invited to obtain one, and provided with the means of doing so, and of installing that Password in a place accessible to the User's System on subsequent occasions. The present invention also provides Programmers with means to invoke business operations as well as computational operations with their programs, and thus to automatically obtain payment from Users who elect to obtain passwords.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: SL Patent Holdings LLCInventor: Jonathan Schull

Patent number: 8277052Abstract: A multimedia presentation system includes a plurality of display systems and at least one control system. The plurality of display systems output image areas of a multimedia presentation to at least partially different locations of a display environment. The control system adjusts the output of the image areas from the plurality of display systems to conform to the display environment. The display and capture systems may be wearable, mobile or adjustable and can react to any environment. Editing environments allow the same show to be easily relinked to a new display configuration without any need for extensive user-driven layout revision. Virtual display configurations are simulated and presented on other displays.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Rochester Institute of TechnologyInventors: Ian Gatley, Mitchell Rosen, James Meyer, Robert A.

The control system adjusts the output of the captured image areas from the plurality of projection systems to conform to a display environment. The one or more detection systems determine another relative position of each of the plurality of imaging systems with respect to the display environment on which the image areas are displayed.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Rochester Institute of TechnologyInventors: Ian Gatley, Mitchell Rosen, James Meyer, Robert A.

Patent number: 7330837Abstract: A method for adapting a software product to an environment is provided tat comprises providing the software product with a first portion of code including instructions for performing a predetermined function. At least one aspect of performing the predetermined function is controllable by an operating parameter value. The operating parameter value, a mutation rate and a set of probabilistic mutation criteria are stored in a second portion of code. The method further comprises, responsive to an occurrence of a predetermined event associated with the environment, using the mutation rate and the probabilistic mutation criteria to determine if the operating parameter value should mutate, and changing the operating parameter value in response to a determination that the operating parameter value should mutate.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: SL Patent Holdings LLCInventor: Jonathan Schull
