  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ORDERING AND FLUID TRANSFER PRINTING A CUSTOM-PRINTED ITEM
    Publication number: 20230149972
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for the custom-printing of an item including, e.g., a) accepting customer request data for a workpiece and customer request data for a graphic design to cover at least a portion of the workpiece; b) accepting workpiece identifier data from a workpiece database based on the customer request data; c) accepting print design data from a print design database based on the customer request data for a graphic design; d) associating the print design data with the workpiece identifier data; e) printing the print design data onto a hydrofilm portion; f) placing the hydrofilm portion onto a fluid surface in a dip tank; g) applying an activator to the hydrofilm portion to yield an activated hydrofilm portion; and h) dipping the workpiece into the dip tank, whereby the activated hydrofilm portion is bonded to the workpiece as a result of the dipping.

  • Detecting one or more objects in an image, or sequence of images, and determining a category and one or more descriptors for each of the one or more objects, generating synthetic training data, and training a neural network with the synthetic training data
    Patent number: 11605235
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an image-capture system, includes an image-capture device and computing circuitry. The image-capture device is configured to capture an image of a region of space that includes an object. And the computing circuitry is coupled to the image-capture device and is configured to detect a representation of the object in the image, to determine a representation of a boundary of the detected representation, to provide image information corresponding to the detected representation to an image-analysis system, to receive, from the image-analysis system, an identifier of a category to which the object belongs, and a descriptor of the object, and to generate a representation of a list that includes the identifier and the descriptor.
