Patent number: 12181855Abstract: A method for calibrating a computer-numerically-controlled machine can include capturing one or more images of at least a portion of the computer-numerically-controlled machine. The one or more images can be captured with at least one camera located inside an enclosure containing a material bed. A mapping relationship can be created which maps a pixel in the one or more images to a location within the computer-numerically controlled machine. The creation of the mapping relationship can include compensating for a difference in the one or more images relative to one or more physical parameters of the computer-numerically-controlled machine and/or a material positioned on the material bed. Related systems and/or articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Glowforge, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Shapiro, Mark Gosselin, Anthony Wright, Kevin McVey, Jared Kofron, Daniel Martinec, Brian Fioca, Taylor Vaughn

Publication number: 20110107245Abstract: A method implementable in an electronic system coupled to an electronic device, which is, in turn, coupled to a display device. In an embodiment, a first set of selectable tags is generated, each of the first-set tags corresponding to a respective vocational characteristic. In response to first user input, a displayable selection field is populated with a first subset of the selectable tags. In response to second user input, the first-subset tags are ranked according to relevance to at least one quality of the user. A profile of the user is generated using at least one ranked tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2007Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: JOBSTER, INCORPORATEDInventors: James Dantzler, Brian Fioca, Anthony Wright, Jessica Scheibach, Ryan Kuykendall

Publication number: 20090106693Abstract: A method is implementable in an electronic system coupled to an electronic device, which is, in turn, coupled to a display device. A web page displayable on the display device is served to the electronic device. The displayed web page includes a user interface, which, in turn, includes a selection field. A first set of selectable tags is displayed in the selection field, each of the first-set tags corresponding to a respective vocational characteristic of a first set of vocational characteristics. A user selection of at least one first-set tag is received. An indication of a candidate profile associated with at least one vocational characteristic corresponding to the selected tag is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2007Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: Jobster IncorporatedInventors: Brian Fioca, Tony Wright
