Patent number: 10251232Abstract: A dynamic light display may include an array of lighting elements behind a translucent material. The array of lighting elements may be controlled by an electronic controller which controls activation and deactivation as well as intensity levels of the individual lighting elements of the array. The electronic controller may generate dynamically moving light shapes which move around on the array. The dynamically moving light shapes are diffused through the translucent material to produce dynamic light display sequences, which may serve a wide range of applications.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: COGNICOLOR, LLCInventor: Bryan Kent Ressler

Patent number: 9928412Abstract: A large synthetic 3D human body model dataset using real-world body size distributions is created. The model dataset may follow real-world body parameter distributions. Depth sensors can be integrated into mobile devices such as tablets, cellphones, and wearable devices. Body measurements for a user are extracted from a single frontal-view depth map using joint location information. Estimates of body measurements are combined with local geometry features around joint locations to form a robust multi-dimensional feature vector. A fast nearest-neighbor search is performed using the feature vector for the user and the feature vectors for the synthetic models to identify the closest match. The retrieved model can be used in various applications such as clothes shopping, virtual reality, online gaming, and others.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Qiaosong Wang, Robinson Piramuthu, Vignesh Jagadeesh, Bryan Kent Ressler

Publication number: 20140358991Abstract: There is provided a template stack that receives data from a plurality of nodes in a communication network. The template stack maps the received data to a common data framework and receives a template request from a client node. The template request preferably includes at least one transform function. In response to receiving the template request, the template stack performs the at least one transform function on the data to yield transform data and transmits the transform data to the client node.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Bryan Kent Laver, John Monk

Patent number: 8330802Abstract: The stereo movie editing technique described herein combines knowledge of both multi-view stereo algorithms and human depth perception. The technique creates a digital editor, specifically for stereographic cinema. The technique employs an interface that allows intuitive manipulation of the different parameters in a stereo movie setup, such as camera locations and screen position. Using the technique it is possible to reduce or enhance well-known stereo movie effects such as cardboarding and miniaturization. The technique also provides new editing techniques such as directing the user's attention and easier transitions between scenes.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Microsoft Corp.Inventors: Sanjeev J.

Patent number: 5282580Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for winding wire onto toroidal cores in which the wire is fed into a circular channel to form a coil that passes through the core repeatedly. The wire is fed to the apparatus by a cylindrical capstan for creating tension to straighten the wire. The wire is circulated in the channel by pairs of synchronously driven rollers, with one roller pair gripping the wire more loosely to permit slippage. The channel has a narrowed width adjacent to the rollers to control wire deflection. A movable feed track exit allows smooth feeding of wire into the channel, while permitting increased capacity by sliding the exit inward of the growing coil. A variable transmission adjusts the rate at which the wire is fed into the channel relative to the rate at which it circulates. A split block wire cutter is adjustable to compensate for cutter wear.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1991Date of Patent: February 1, 1994Inventor: Bryan Kent

Patent number: 3985310Abstract: A method for winding wire strands onto toroidal cores in which a length of wire is fed along a radially inwardly facing channel in an arcular guide to form a loop. As the leading end of the wire completes this loop it hugs the channel's radial boundary to form a second loop radially inside the first as the wire feeding continues. A gap is provided in the radial boundary of the channel for receiving the core with the core's central aperture in this gap so as each loop is formed the wire in that loop passes through the core. The upper and lower boundaries of the channel are spaced apart so as to maintain the loops in a single concentric layer around the guide and through the core. When enough wire has been fed the feeding is stopped, but the movement of the loops around the guide continues and winds (tightens) at least one new turn of wire onto the core for every complete circulation of the loops around the guide.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1974Date of Patent: October 12, 1976Assignee: Pulse Engineering Inc.Inventors: Bryan Kent, Duane Kent
