Patent number: 12382112Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a memory storing software code. The software code is executed to receive digital content indexed to a timeline, receive insertion data identifying a timecode of the timeline, and encode the digital content using the insertion data to provide segmented content having a segment boundary at the timecode, and first and second segments adjoining the segment boundary, wherein the first segment precedes, and the second segment succeeds, the segment boundary. The software code also re-processes the first and second segments to apply a fade-out within or to the first segment and a fade-in within or to the second segment, wherein re-processing the first and second segments provides encoded segments having the segment boundary configured as an insertion point for supplemental content.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2022Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Scott Labrozzi

Patent number: 12367649Abstract: Methods and systems for generating three-dimensional (3D) models and facial hair models representative of subjects (e.g., actors or actresses) using facial scanning technology. Initial subject facial data, including facial frames and facial performance frames (e.g., images of the subject collected from a capture system) can be used to accurately predict the structure of the subject's face underneath their facial hair to produce a reference 3D facial shape of the subject. Likewise, image processing techniques can be used to identify facial hairs and generate a reference facial hair model. The reference 3D facial shape and reference facial hair mode can subsequently be used to generate performance 3D facial shapes and a performance facial hair model corresponding to a performance by the subject (e.g., reciting dialog).Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignees: Disney Enterprises, Inc., ETH Zürich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich)Inventors: Sebastian Winberg, Prashanth Chandran, Paulo Fabiano Urnau Gotardo, Gaspard Zoss, Derek Edward Bradley

Patent number: 12359946Abstract: A method of mounting, at a desired location, a vehicle sensor pad for a sensor system of a vehicle wherein the sensor pad is initially packaged in a product that includes a foldable clamshell-type housing folded to a closed position to contain the pre-formed sensor pad that was formed in situ therein when the housing was in an open position, prior to closing. The housing has an enclosed volume bounded by relatively thin and flexible walls, and outwardly extending tabs which facilitate opening. This structure enables the user to easily open the housing to remove the sensor pad, a cured silicone composition, by pushing inward on an outer surface of the outer wall of a base section of the housing. This product reduces the amount of manipulation needed to mount the sensor pad in a desired position, for example, during installation of a rain sensor system for a vehicle windshield.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2024Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: Marcy Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Steven R.
