Patent number: 12784283Abstract: TriSoup triangles may be used to model a point cloud. Some points may be missed when modeling the point cloud. Missed points may be recovered by identifying points that are contained within one or more extensions of a TriSoup triangle. One or more parameters may be used for voxelizing the one or more extensions of the triangle. Instead of using a fixed value for parameters for all point clouds or portions of a point cloud, one or more of parameters may be determined based on local characteristics of a triangle. By dynamically determining parameters, consistency of voxelizing triangles may be achieved, and/or a visual quality of decoded point cloud data may be improved.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2024Date of Patent: November 3, 2026Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventor: Sébastien Lasserre

Patent number: 12786189Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to enable a user device to gain access to a network via a trusted device (e.g., a network device). The network device can obtain a user device identifier from the user device and can transmit the user device identifier along with a network device identifier to a computing device (e.g., a server associated with a service provider). The server can determine if the user device should be permitted to access the network. The server can return the results of the determination to the network device and/or the user device. If the determination is that the user device should be permitted to access the network, the user device can also receive network credentials. The user device can access the network with the network credentials.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2026Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventor: Franklyn Athias
