Patent number: 11959510Abstract: Provided in this disclosure is a method for manufacturing a customizable holster. Steps are provided of molding inner holster components, including molding internal surfaces that conform to shapes of respective portions of a desired firearm design. Other substeps include molding external surfaces that conform to the shape of portions of an external mating surface of an inner holster. The inner holster components are mated to form an inner holster having an internal contact surface that conforms to the firearm design, to securely receive and retain a respective firearm within the inner holster. An outer holster is molded having an interior defined by an internal mating surface that conforms with the external mating surface of the inner holster. The inner holster is then mated to the outer holster such that the external mating surface of the inner holster is received within the internal mating surface of the outer holster.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BLADE-TECH INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Anthony S. Giordano, Jr., Tyler J. Johnson, Jarett M. Peterson

Patent number: 11954565Abstract: A technology is described for automating deployment of a machine learning model. An example method may include receiving, via a graphical user interface, credentials for connecting to a data store containing a plurality of datasets and connecting to the data store using the credentials. A selection of a target metric to predict using the machine learning model can be received, via the graphical user interface, and datasets included in the plurality of datasets that correlate to the target metric can be identified by analyzing the datasets to identify an association between the target metric and data contained within the datasets. The datasets can be input to the machine learning model to train the machine learning model to generate predictions of the target metric, and the machine learning model can be deployed to computing resources in a service provider environment to generate predictions associated with the target metric.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: QLIKTECH INTERNATIONAL ABInventors: Killian B. Dent, James M. Friedman, Allan D. Johnson, Shauna J. Moran, Tyler P. Cooper, Chris K. Knoch, Nicholas R. Magnuson, Daniel J. Wallace

Publication number: 20230127730Abstract: A system and a process for accurately aligning projection mapping systems using the assistance of camera sensors. The calibration process involves first projecting a modulated gray code image sequence that allows the calibration cameras to identify a dense set of image correspondences between the calibration cameras and the projectors. The calibration cameras are then aligned to the screen surface through the selection of key points or fiducials on the screen surface that are then identified in the camera images. Once the camera(s) are aligned to the screen surface, the image correspondences between the projectors and cameras are used to determine the alignment of the projectors to the screen surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Tyler M. Johnson, Kevin Amaratunga

Patent number: 11269244Abstract: The invention provides a system and method that reduces the precision of the manual alignment process. Users select correspondences between projectors or components of a projector, to form a common coordinate. Using models of the display system, and projectors, the common coordinate system can be mapped quickly to the entire display. The process avoids a need to measure screen points, and allows the user to move significantly fewer points. Alternatively, the invention allows introduction of machine-vision style algorithms into manual calibration techniques to improve performance. This overcomes the tediousness of prior systems by introducing models of the display into the manual alignment process, allowing selection of a small number of points on each projector, and avoiding selection of precisely measured screen points. The system conversely finds correspondences between projectors, allowing mapping of the projectors into a common coordinate system, and quick warping of the coordinate system to the screen.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Scalable Display Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Samson J.

Patent number: 9860494Abstract: This invention overcomes disadvantages of the prior art by providing a system and method that allows for the calibration of a display system using one or more cameras whose lenses are not modeled, or are modeled with limited accuracy, and are potentially incapable of imaging the entire projector system. The illustrative system and method generally relies on well-established models of the projectors, rather than well-established models of the cameras. Illustratively, the cameras serve mainly to map the projectors into one coordinate system, where the overlap between the projectors can be established very precisely using a camera, even if the model of the camera lens properties is not known, or known only minimally.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Scalable Display Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tyler M.

Publication number: 20160155419Abstract: This invention provides a calibration system and method for multi-unit display systems without a need for switching the system input resolution/configuration of the display system while calibrating. This serves to avoid carrying out a re-synchronization step. As such, this system and method allows for increases speed and reduced likelihood of failure. This system and method also corrects the display system by providing an arrangement that employs a minimum of required changes so as to avoid any changes that can consequently affect the output image of the display system. Calibration of the system of display units occurs free of any changes to the input resolution and this resolution is maintained in a manner that resists change unless specifically required. Moreover, this system and method enables a resolution for the overall system that differs from the sum of the input resolutions of the discrete, individual display units in the collection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2015Publication date: June 2, 2016Inventors: Dennis Miaw, Rajeev J.
