Patent number: 11493334Abstract: A measurement method comprises acquiring, using image sensors (Cji) for each object during its displacement, at least three radiographic images of the region to be inspected. The images are obtained from at least three radiographic projections of the region to be inspected, the directions of projection (Dji) of which are different from each other. A computer system is provided with an a priori geometric model of the region to be inspected for the series of objects. Using the computer system and considering a constant attenuation coefficient and, from the a priori geometric model, at least three radiographic images of the region to be inspected, a digital geometric model of the region to be inspected is determined. For each object of the series, from the digital geometric model of the region to be inspected, at least one linear dimension measurement of the region to be inspected is determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: TIAMAInventors: Laurent Cosneau, Olivier Colle

Patent number: 11410672Abstract: The managing of sensed signals used to sense features of physical entities over time. A computer-navigable graph of sensed features is generated. For each sensed feature, a signal segment that was used to sense that feature is computer-associated with the sensed feature. Later, the graph of sensed features may be navigated to that features. The resulting signal segment(s) may then be access allowing for rendering of the signal evidence that resulted in the sensed feature. Accordingly, the principles described herein allow for sophisticated and organized navigation to sensed features of physical entities in the physical world, and allow for rapid rendering of the signals that evidence that sensed features.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vijay Mital, Olivier Colle, Robin Abraham

Patent number: 11120212Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide for modifying an application from a mobile device. An instruction to modify an application including one or more documents is received at the mobile device. It is determined at the mobile device whether the received instruction is associated with a first type of modification and/or a second type of modification. In response to determining that the received instruction is associated with the first type of modification, a local instance of the document stored at the mobile device is modified at the mobile device. In response to determining that the received instruction is associated with the second type of modification, a remote instance of the document stored at a server device is modified at the server device. Aspects of the disclosure enable a mobile device to strategically modify an application to facilitate managing local resources.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Barath Balasubramanian, Evan Cohen, Olivier Colle, Irina Koulinitch, Shrey Sangal

Patent number: 11094212Abstract: The sharing of signal segments using a semantic understanding of what is included within the signal segment. Upon selection of a physical entity (or portion thereof) that is rendered within a signal segment, the system then extracts portion(s) of signal segment(s) in which that selected physical entity appears. A representation of the extracted signal segment portion are then dispatched to recipients. Thus, portions of signal segments may be shared at the granularity of the content of what the signal segment depicts. There is wide flexibility in what representations of those signal segment portion(s) are shared.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Vijay Mital, Suraj T.

Patent number: 11070504Abstract: Routing of communications to group member(s) where group membership is identified by physical status. A computing system detects a communication that identifies targets of the communication at least in part by physical status. The system responds by identifying at least partial membership in a group that is identified by the physical status identified in the communication, and then dispatching the communication to at least one member of the members of that group. The identity of the members of the group may change dynamically as the physical status of particular physical entities changes over time. Accordingly, a user may communicate to individuals based on physical status, rather than identify any particular individual or status group. The communication may be directed to all members of the group. Alternatively, the communication may be initially directed towards a subset of the group, with the communication being conditionally later broadened.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Vijay Mital, Olivier Colle, Robin Abraham, Arnaud Christian Flutre, Anthony Wah Lee, Faisal Khaled Faisal Ilaiwi

Patent number: 10802844Abstract: An architectural software model in which browser-executable code and non-browser executable code of an application are distributed. The browser-executable code (such as markup language and script) is executed by a browser on perhaps a client machine, whilst the non-browser executable code (such as C# code as an example) is executed on a server or by a service. Such code typically is included within a single desktop application with an interoperability component operating between. The browser-executable code is able to communicate with the non-browser executable code using a request-response protocol. In order to facilitate communication with the non-browser-executable code, the non-browser executable code is provided in an environment that includes a request translator and a response translator. The environment includes an interface which honors the request/response protocol followed by the browser-executable code.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Andrew Michael Pennell, Irina Koulinitch, Olivier Colle, Mariyan D.
