Patent number: 10956711Abstract: A system for acquiring images of products in a retail store is disclosed. The system may include at least one first housing configured for location on a retail shelving unit, and at least one image capture device included in the at least one first housing and configured relative to the at least one first housing such that an optical axis of the at least one image capture device is directed toward an opposing retail shelving unit when the at least one first housing is fixedly mounted on the retail shelving unit. The system may further include a second housing configured for location on the retail shelving unit separate from the at least one first housing, the second housing may contain at least one processor configured to control the at least one image capture device and also to control a network interface for communicating with a remote server.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Trax Technology Solutions Pte Ltd.Inventors: Yair Adato, Yotam Michael, Yonatan Adar, Maria Kushnir, Dror Yashpe

Patent number: 10546182Abstract: A system for processing images captured in a retail store is provided. The system may include at least one processor configured to receive an image depicting a store shelf having at least one bottle displayed thereon and analyze the image to detect a representation in the image of the at least one bottle. The at least one bottle may have an outline design. The at least one processor is also configured to identify in the image two outline elements being associated with the outline design of the at least one bottle. Each of the two outline elements may have a specific length. The at least one processor may further be configured to determine a size of the at least one bottle based on a comparison of the lengths of the two outline elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Inventors: Yair Adato, Yotam Michael, Yonatan Adar, Maria Kushnir, Dror Yashpe

Publication number: 20190149725Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media for providing a user with augmented guidance to capture images of products placed on a store shelving unit, the method including using an image sensor of a mobile device to capture and display in real-time a video stream depicting a store shelving unit, augmenting the video stream with a marking identifying an area of the store shelving unit and receiving an image including an area outside the marked area. A plurality of images captured by the image sensor and associated with a discontinuous first area of the store shelving unit with at least two non-overlapping regions and having image resolution higher than an image resolution of the video stream are used to mark the area of the video stream representing discontinuous first area and a second area outside the discontinuous first area. The received image overlaps the discontinuous first area and second area.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2019Publication date: May 16, 2019Applicant: Trax Technologies Solutions Pte Ltd.Inventors: Yair Adato, Yotam Michael, Nativ Levi, Aviv Eisenschtat, Ziv Mhabary, Dolev Pomeranz, Nir Hemed, Bar Fingerman, Maria Kushnir, Alexander Burdeynyy

Patent number: 8208300Abstract: In a nonvolatile memory (NVM) cell, an injector having one or more layers of material with a lower potential barrier for holes is disposed between a charge storage stack and a source of holes (the gate for top injection, the substrate for bottom injection), to facilitate hole tunneling from the source of holes into the charge-storage layer of the charge storage stack. The injector has a barrier potential for holes which is less than an insulating layer of the charge-storage stack which is oriented towards the source of holes. A multi-layer crested barrier injector may have layers of increasing potential barriers for holes from the source to the charge-storage layer. Methods of operating NVM cells are disclosed. The NVM cell may be NROM, SONOS, or other oxide-nitride technology NVM cells such as SANOS, MANOS, TANOS.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2009Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Spansion Israel LtdInventors: Boaz Eitan, Maria Kushnir, Assaf Shappir

Patent number: 8189397Abstract: Retention of charges in a nonvolatile memory (NVM) cell having a nitride-based injector (such as SiN, SIRN, SiON) for facilitating injection of holes into a charge-storage layer (for NROM, nitride) of a charge-storage stack (for NROM, ONO) may be improved by providing an insulating layer (for NROM, oxide) between the charge-storage layer and the injector has a thickness of at least 3 nm. Top and bottom injectors are disclosed. Methods of operating NVM cells are disclosed. The NVM cell may be NROM, SONOS, or other oxide-nitride technology NVM cells such as SANOS, MANOS, TANOS.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Spansion Israel LtdInventors: Boaz Eitan, Maria Kushnir, Assaf Shappir
