Patent number: 10154601Abstract: Various embodiments of a modular electromechanical device are described herein. The modular electromechanical device includes a chassis and a plurality of functional modules that can be connected to the chassis. Each module is associated with a different functionality. The functionality of the modular electromechanical device is defined based on various attributes including the functionality of the different functional modules that are connected to the electromechanical device, the sequence in which the different functional modules are connected to the electromechanical device, the specific attachment structures used to attach the functional modules to the electromechanical device, or a pattern of traces formed within the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Baback Elmieh, Alexandre Jais, Rex Wenters Crossen, Andrew Alexander Robberts

Patent number: 10056114Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for small-screen movie-watching using a viewport. These techniques enable viewers to experience movies and other media programs using a small screen as a viewport to the movie rather than dramatically compressing or cropping the movie to fit the small screen. A viewer may select whatever portion of the movie imagery he or she desires to experience through the small screen at a size sufficient to perceive details of plot elements and an environment in which the plot elements interact. Thus, the viewer may follow plot elements central to the plot while also exploring the environment that provides context for these plot elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Colby NipperInventors: Darren Mark Austin, Baback Elmieh, Douglas Paul Sweetland, Brian M. Collins, Mark Jason Oftedal, Jan J. Pinkava

Publication number: 20180225028Abstract: A system and method for providing an interactive media content with explorable content on a computing device that includes rendering a field of view within a navigable media content item; rendering at least one targetable object within the media content item; through a user input mechanism, receiving a navigation command; navigating the field of view within the media based at least in part on the received user input mechanism; detecting a locking condition based, at least in part, on of the targetable object being in the field of view and entering a object-locked mode with the targetable object; and in the object-locked mode, automatically navigating the field of view to substantially track the targetable object of the object-locked mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2018Publication date: August 9, 2018Applicant: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Baback Elmieh, Brian M. Collins, Jan J. Pinkava, Douglas Paul Sweetland

Patent number: 10039195Abstract: A method for forming a three-dimensional object with at least one conductive trace comprises providing an intermediate structure that is generated (e.g., additively or subtractively generated) from a first material in accordance with a model design of the three-dimensional object. The intermediate structure may have at least one predefined location for the at least one conductive trace. The model design includes the at least one predefined location. Next, the at least one conductive trace may be generated adjacent to the at least one predefined location of the intermediate structure. The at least one conductive trace may be formed of a second material that has an electrical and/or thermal conductivity that is greater than the first material.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Baback Elmieh, Saurabh Palan, Rex Wenters Crossen, Alexandre Jais

Patent number: 9851868Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses enabling multi-story visual experiences are described. These techniques and apparatuses enable a user to view multiple storylines through their view selections. By so doing, a user may enjoy either or both of the stories without sacrificing the storytelling experience or a user's ability to determine a manner in which to engage with the stories.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Baback Elmieh

Patent number: 9792718Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for optimizing a graphics scene, such as a three-dimensional (3D) scene, by allowing application developers and/or graphics artists to identify which graphics instructions and associated graphics data (e.g., polygonal data, texture data) may be associated with identified performance issues. One example method comprises receiving mapping information from the external device, wherein the mapping information includes information to map the graphics instructions to primitive graphics data that is used to render one or more graphics images during execution of the graphics instructions, and identifying a performance issue associated with execution of at least one graphics instruction within the graphics instructions. The method further comprises using the mapping information to identify a portion of the primitive graphics data that is associated with the performance issue based upon execution of the at least one graphics instruction.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2009Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Baback Elmieh, James P. Ritts, Angus Dorbie

Patent number: 9779480Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling view-driven consumption of frameless media. These techniques and apparatuses provide frameless media and enable a user to engage with the frameless media by orienting a viewing device within the world created by that frameless media. This orienting by the user drives what the user sees in this world and when the user sees it.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Darren Mark Austin, Baback Elmieh, Douglas Paul Sweetland, Brian M.

Patent number: 9766786Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses for visual storytelling on a mobile media-consumption device are described. These techniques and apparatuses enable a user to view events central to the story while also viewing context for the story. By so doing, a user may enjoy the story as the story's author intended without sacrificing a user's ability to engage with the story's context.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Baback Elmieh, Darren Mark Austin, Brian M.
