Patent number: 11961172Abstract: A system and method for object monitoring, detection, and segmentation in electro-optical (EO) satellite imagery data comprising an image processing engine configured to prepare EO data for analysis by an inference engine which utilizes one or more trained models to perform object detection or image segmentation. The workflow begins with ingesting satellite data, followed by de-hazing to remove atmospheric interference. Image enhancement improves resolution and geo-registration ensures precise spatial alignment. The processed image is then fed into a machine learning-based object detection or image segmentation network, trained to identify specific objects of interest. This integrated approach leverages advanced technologies to extract actionable insights from satellite data, enabling efficient and precise object monitoring, detection, and segmentation.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ROYCE GEOSPATIAL CONSULTANTS, INC.Inventors: Adam Estrada, Andrew Ryan, Casey Backes, Joseph Bader, Kenneth Joyce, Jason Dodge, Dave Rabrun

Patent number: 11818086Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes initiating, at a first device of a group of devices, a group voice chat between the first device and one or more other devices of the group of devices in a Bluetooth broadcast, where audio transmissions of the group voice chat are transmitted in a sequence of time intervals, and where the time intervals include subintervals. The method further includes allocating a first subinterval of the subintervals to the first device, the first device transmits a first audio message during the first subinterval, and where the first audio message is broadcast to the group of devices. The method further includes allocating a second subinterval of the subintervals to a second device of the group of devices, where the second device transmits a second audio message during the second subinterval, and where the second audio message is broadcast to the group of devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventor: Andrew Estrada

Publication number: 20230280473Abstract: An apparatus includes one or more processors and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to receive a request from a user for one or more services associated with satellites. The logic is further operable to while performing an initialization process, provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes information about one or more of the satellites. The logic is further operable to determine that the initialization process is complete. The logic is further operable to update the GUI to include an option to provide the one or more services associated with the satellites.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Jignesh Doshi, Andrew Estrada

Patent number: 8855057Abstract: A device for transferring data. The device includes a processor operable to process a header portion of data without processing a payload. Processing the header portion generates a processed header. The processor may signal a direct memory access (DMA) unit to access the payload of the data. As a result, the DMA accesses and passes the payload to a wireless interface for transmission to a destination electronic device based on the processed header. The processor used to process the header portion may be a processor of an electronic device, e.g., a cellular phone, a PDA, etc. Alternatively, the processor may be a processor of a removable memory component. In one embodiment, the processor may be a processor of a module adapted to receive a removable memory and further adapted to couple to an electronic device, e.g., a cellular phone, a PDA, etc., where the removable memory includes its own processor.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Andrew Estrada

Publication number: 20070111790Abstract: A game apparatus according to a preferred embodiment includes a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module. The first wireless communication module performs communication utilizing Bluetooth protocols, whereas the second wireless communication module performs communication utilizing IEEE protocols. The first radio communication module and the second radio module have a common reference communication cycle, and each communicates in communication cycles of an integral multiple of the reference communication cycle. A control unit sets offset time between the start time of a communication by the first wireless communication module until the start time of a communication by the second wireless communication module. In so doing, the control unit monitors the communication load of the first wireless communication module and sets the offset time based on a monitored result.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: Itaru Maekawa, Andrew Estrada
