Publication number: 20250035485Abstract: Provided is a gyroscope stabilized gimbal assembly for collecting and timestamping video data and laser measurement data. The assembly can be used on multiple platforms and provides an ISR video camera system and one or more laser measurement devices, including photodetectors, thermopiles, filters, and analog to digital converters. The components are mounted to a bracket that can be installed and removed from the assembly to collect/record measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam. A processor collects and records measurement data from the devices interacting with the laser beam and calculates optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data. A storage device stores a first set of data comprising video data from said camera system and a second set of data comprising optical power data, irradiance data, and wavelength data, wherein said first and second set of data are timestamped, separated, and not comingled.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Marshall A.

Patent number: 9547468Abstract: A system running on a mobile device such as a smartphone is configured to expose a user interface (UI) to enable a user to specify web pages that can be pinned to a start screen of the device. Once pinned, the user may launch a web page by voice command from any location on the UI or from within any experience that is currently being supported on the device. Thus, the user can be on a call with a friend talking about a new video game and then use a voice command to launch a web browser application on the mobile device that navigates to a pinned web page having information about the game's release date. Web pages can be readily pinned and unpinned from the start screen through the UI. When a web page is unpinned from the start screen, the system disables voice web navigation for it.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Cheng-Yi Yen, Derek Liddell, Kenneth Reneris, Charles Morris, Dieter Rindle, Tanvi Surti, Michael Stephens, Eka Tjung
