Publication number: 20240125483Abstract: A cooking exhaust hood system, that has an exhaust hood adapted to be located over at least one cooking appliance and an exhaust fan connected to the exhaust hood, with the exhaust fan having a controllable exhaust air flow volume. A camera monitors a surface of the at least one cooking appliance and provide an image signal representing a visual status of the at least one cooking appliance. An image processing controller is connected to an image database and is configured to receive the image signal and to compare the visual status of the at least one cooking appliance based on the image signal to stored images in the image database. The image processing controller then output a cooking appliance status signal. An exhaust fan controller is provided that is connected to the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan controller is configured to receive the cooking appliance status signal and adjusts the exhaust fan accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Franke Technology and Trademark Ltd.Inventors: Mark Ashley, Alan Greer, Gregory Richards

Publication number: 20240054741Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently render shared location-based content. The cross reality system may include a cloud-based service that responds to requests from devices to localize with respect to a stored map. The service may return to the device information that localizes the device with respect to the stored map. In conjunction with localization information, the service may provide information about locations in the physical world proximate the device for which virtual content has been provided. Based on information received from the service, the device may render, or stop rendering, virtual content to each of multiple users based on the user's location and specified locations for the virtual content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Dean Caswell, Konrad Piascik, Leonid Zolotarev, Mark Ashley Rushton

Patent number: 11099854Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) implements an M by N aperture function over an R by C source array. The IC has an input port receiving an ordered stream of independent input values, an output port producing an output stream, a mass multiplier circuit multiplying inputs by weights, producing streams of products on pathways on the IC, an M by N array of compositor circuits on the IC, single dedicated pathways between compositors, delay circuits, a finalization circuit, and a control circuit operating counters and producing control signals. The compositors combine the values received from product pathways, further combine that result to an initial value or to a value from an adjacent compositor upstream, or to a value from a delay circuit. Upon a last downstream compositor producing a complete composition of values, that value is passed to the finalization circuit, which posts a result to the output port.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Gigantor Technologies Inc.Inventor: Mark Ashley Mathews
