Patent number: 11386872Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for experiencing a virtual object at a plurality of sizes. During an AR session, the virtual object can created at a first size based upon a first scale (e.g., miniature, tabletop size). Once created, information regarding the virtual object can be stored. Thereafter, the virtual object can be displayed in an AR session at a second size based upon a second scale (e.g., full size or life size). In some embodiments, functionality of at least portion(s) of the virtual object are different when experienced in an AR session at the second size than when experienced in an AR session at the first size.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Matthew Cahill, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Jesse Dylan Merriam, Michael Meincke Persson, Bradley Reid Shuber

Patent number: 11090561Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for creating a shared coordinate space in an augmented reality session between two devices with disjoint relative coordinate spaces. With AR tracking initiated, each device has its own relative coordinate space. A spatial alignment image can be recognized by a device joining an AR session which records its location (e.g., six degrees of position). The joining device can utilize an obtained location of an inviting device at or about the time the spatial alignment image was recognized, and, a spatial origin of the inviting device, to calculate an offset between the joining device and the inviting device, establishing a shared coordinate space between the joining device and the inviting device.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Matthew Cahill, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Jesse Dylan Merriam, Michael Meincke Persson, Bradley Reid Shuber

Patent number: 10852906Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for identifying locations for virtual items within a physical environment. For each of a plurality of users, information is received regarding the user's interaction with a one or more interactive virtual items presented on a map of a virtual environment that parallels at least portions of the physical environment. The information comprises the user's physical location when interacting with a particular interactive item. Each interactive virtual item has an associated physical location within the physical environment. The received information is aggregated over time to determine an associated physical location within the physical environment for the virtual item. With the virtual environment, the virtual item is placed at the determined associated physical location.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Matthew Cahill, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Irina Koulinitch, Stacy Jiayan Chen, Jesse Dylan Merriam, Michael Meincke Persson, Bradley Reid Shuber

Patent number: 7313497Abstract: A method and apparatus or arrangement, for monitoring the operating characteristics of valves, principally to monitor for failure of a valve. The method including measuring a pressure differential across a valve 1 and comparing the measured differential with a required differential. If the measured differential is acceptable relative to the required differential, the valve is deemed to be operating acceptably. If the differential is not acceptable relative to the required differential, then further monitoring in the form of flow sensing takes place and is compared relative to required flow characteristics. The method employs a comparison of the pressure differential and the sensed flow characteristics to determine whether the valve is operating acceptably.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Monatec Pty Ltd.Inventors: Donnelly Breen, Andrew Meehan, Bradley Reid
