Patent number: 12358664Abstract: A container has a product in a product-receiving area and has a sealing area surrounding the product-receiving area. A length of film is arranged over the container. A space above the film is evacuated using an evacuating portion of an upper sealing module arranged over the film, so as to cause a portion of the film to conform to the upper sealing module. An area of the film is cut out by moving a cutting tool relative to the upper sealing module from a recessed position to a cutting position. The cut-out area of film includes the portion of the film conformed to the upper sealing module, is brought into contact with the sealing area of the container by moving the upper sealing module relative to the container, and is sealed to the sealing area of the container using a heat sealing portion of the upper sealing module.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: ISHIDA EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: David Morgan, Ben Hall

Publication number: 20250031347Abstract: Three-dimensional meshes and three-dimensional casings for thermal ground planes are disclosed. These three-dimensional meshes and three-dimensional casings can create a vapor core that has structural resiliency positive or negative pressure differential between the vapor space and external conditions. A thermal ground plane is disclosed that includes a first casing that is substantially planar and a second casing. The outer periphery of the first casing and the outer periphery of the second casing are bonded together to form a hermetic seal. The second casing may be deformed to create a vapor support structure within the thermal ground plane that includes a plurality of deformed portions (or rough pillars). A working fluid may be disposed within the first casing and the second casing. Permeable wicks may also be disposed on an inner surface of the first casing and/or the second casing for liquid transport that is disposed between the first casing and the second casing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Ryan Lewis, Jason West, Hunter Hach, Hagan Kolanz, Dylan McNally, Ben Hall, Keller Lofgren, Yung-Cheng Lee

Patent number: 11783557Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for virtual try-on of items such as spectacles. A virtual try-on interface may be implemented at a server or at a user device, and may use collision detection between three-dimensional models of the spectacles and of a user's face and head to determine the correct size and position of the spectacles for virtual try-on. With the determined size and position, a virtual representation of the spectacles is superimposed on an image of the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: WARBY PARKER INC.Inventors: David Goldberg, Michael Rakowski, Benjamin Cohen, Ben Hall, Brian Bernberg, Hannah Zachritz
