Tondra J. Schlieski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Three dimensional imaging device
    Patent number: 10574867
    Abstract: An imaging device may include a housing and a pair of lenses mounted in the housing. A mechanism maintains the lenses in a horizontal orientation when the housing is rotated about an imaging axis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2020
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: David I. Shaw, William C. Deleeuw, Tondra J. Schlieski, Lucas B. Ainsworth
  • System, methods, and computer program products for multi-stream audio/visual synchronization
    Patent number: 9191553
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for the synchronization of media streams. In an embodiment, a gross synchronization may first be performed on the media streams, using the broadcast delays of the streams. A refined synchronization may then be performed, taking advantage of corresponding visual or audio cues in each stream. In the event that the media streams represent the same content (e.g., the same content from different providers), matching momentary actions in the video media streams may be used to achieve refined synchronization. In the event that the media streams are different (e.g., different broadcasts of the same event), other cues may be used to achieve refined synchronization, where these other cues are part of the underlying event but independent of the particular broadcasts. Examples of these latter cues may be the sound of a referee's whistle or the crack of a bat hitting a baseball.

  • Systems, methods and apparatus for providing content based on a collection of images
    Patent number: 9146940
    Abstract: Systems, methods, articles of manufacture and apparatus provide for an augmented media experience. In some embodiments, the recognition of an image (e.g., by a mobile device and/or a central server) results in providing at least one associated media file to a user (e.g., via a display device).
