Patent number: 11521263Abstract: A computer that simulates a real-world showroom experience for a wholesale buyer is described. During operation, the computer may receive information corresponding to first user-interface activity associated with an electronic device, where the user-interface activity indicates selections of the wholesale buyer of fashion items in a first user interface. Then, the computer may generate instructions for a second user interface based at least in part on the first user-interface activity, where the second user interface corresponds to a virtual showroom of the wholesale buyer, the second user interface includes the selected fashion items and a clothes rack with available hangers, and wherein the second user interface allows the wholesale buyer to dynamically assemble one or more groups of the selected fashion items on one or more of the available hangers. Next, the computer may provide the instructions for the second user interface addressed to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: CXN, Inc.Inventors: Jutta S. Kurz, Robert Marc Meadows, Paul Ritter, Mona Fawzy, Michael Zolfo, Yvonne Lao

Patent number: 10922866Abstract: A system provides, based at least in part on predetermined parameters, configuration information, and a group of behavioral agents, a dynamic virtual representation that includes a multi-dimensional puppet having one or more attributes of an individual, where the dynamic virtual representation automatically mimics one or more attributes of the individual in a context, the providing of the dynamic virtual representation that includes the multi-dimensional puppet involves rendering of the multi-dimensional puppet, and the multi-dimensional puppet includes stereopsis information, and has photorealistic movement corresponding to movement behaviors of the individual. Then, the system receives an input corresponding to user spatial manipulation of or interaction with the multi-dimensional puppet.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Artificial Intelligence Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Robert Marc Meadows, Lars Ulrich Buttler, Jesse Ellis Berman, Ryan Christopher Martin

Publication number: 20190122092Abstract: A system configures a group of behavioral agents, where a given behavioral agent receives one or more inputs and provides an output corresponding to one or more features associated with an individual, and where the inputs to at least some of the behavioral agents include outputs from one or more of the other behavioral agents. Then, the system generates, based at least in part on a subset of the outputs, a dynamic virtual representation of the individual, where the dynamic virtual representation automatically mimics one or more attributes of the individual in a context. Moreover, the system provides information corresponding to the dynamic virtual representation, and the computer system receives input stimuli associated with a reaction of a user. Next, the system selectively performs a remedial action associated with the group of behavioral agents based at least in part on a portion of the input stimuli.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: Artificial Intelligence Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Brent Matthew Haines, Robert Marc Meadows, Lars Ulrich Buttler

Publication number: 20190122146Abstract: A system receives information associated with an interaction with an individual in a context. Then, the system analyzes the information to extract features associated with one or more attributes of the individual. Moreover, the system generates, based at least in part on the extracted features, a group of behavioral agents in a multi-layer hierarchy that automatically mimics the one or more attributes. Next, the system calculates one or more performance metrics associated with the group of behavioral agents and the one or more attributes. Furthermore, the system determines, based at least in part on the one or more performance metrics, one or more deficiencies in the extracted features. Additionally, the system selectively acquires second information associated with additional interaction with the individual in the context based at least in part on the one or more deficiencies to at least in part correct for the one or more deficiencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: Artificial Intelligence Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Robert Marc Meadows, Lars Ulrich Buttler, Alan Peter Swearengen

Patent number: 10101767Abstract: An awning includes an electronic display panel frame that has a front end and a rear end. The rear end is pivotally attached to a fixed surface at a pivot location. The awning includes at least one lift mechanism that is pivotally connected to the electronic display panel frame and to a fixed mount surface. The at least one left mechanism selectively pivots the electronic display panel frame about the pivot location between a raised position and a lowered position. When in the raised position, the front end of the electronic display panel frame is positioned at a greater distance from a ground surface than the front end of the electronic display panel frame when positioned in the lowered position.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Genesco Sports Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Todd Blouin, Terry Pugh, Marc Meadows

Publication number: 20150192233Abstract: Restraints are used to restrain a pipeline having pipe segments coupled together in an end-to-end manner. A first restraint is coupled to first and second pipe segments, which are non-adjacent to one another. A second restraint is coupled to third and fourth non-adjacent pipe segments, wherein the third pipe segment is between the first and second pipe segments. The first and second restraints are coupled together at an overlapping portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2015Publication date: July 9, 2015Applicant: Gangline, LLCInventors: Marc A.
