Publication number: 20220148850Abstract: A micro-tooling device, such as, for example, a scanning electron microscope or a focused-ion beam microscope, provides images. A first machine-learning algorithm and a second machine-learning algorithm are sequentially coupled. The first machine-learning algorithm determines a progress along a predefined workflow based on feature recognition in images associated with the workflow. The second machine-learning algorithm predicts settings of operational parameters of the micro-tooling device in accordance with the progress along the predefined workflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Ramani Pichumani, Anthony Morin, David Dryden, Chris Park

Patent number: 9223802Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to automatic sharing of superlative digital images. Such techniques include an automatic selection of one or more superlative digital images from a set of digital images based, at least in part, upon weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. Instead, interested parties (e.g., subscribers and/or persons with an association with a particular image) are notified automatically. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2011Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Morrison, Chris Park, Kevin Lau, Parthu Kishen, Desmond Smith, Michael Bibik

Patent number: 9195678Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of one or more digital images from a set of digital images collected from multiple image sources, such as such as digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones. The automatic selection is based, at least in part, upon various weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. The automatic selection and other aspects of the techniques described herein can be performed, at least in part, in or by the so-called cloud. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Morrison, Chris Park, Kevin Lau, Parthu Kishen, Desmond Smith, Michael Bibik

Patent number: 8337303Abstract: An electronic device and method of illuminating a display are provided. The electronic device includes a display device, an illumination device, a light sensor and a processor coupled to the illumination device and the light sensor. The processor receives a light value from the light sensor, determines a target illumination value based at least partly on the light value, and causes the illumination device to illuminate the display device at substantially the target illumination value. In one embodiment, the processor causes the illumination device to illuminate the display device at substantially the target illumination value by gradually increasing a current illumination value. In another embodiment, the processor causes the illumination device to illuminate the display device at substantially the target illumination value by gradually decreasing a current illumination value.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brase, Chris Park, Feynman Ko, Stephen Luk, Vincent Chiu, Lewis Tong

Publication number: 20120189284Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of a subset of digital-video clips (i.e., “highlight reel”) from a set of digital-video clips. The automatic selection is based, at least in part, upon various weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata, enhanced metadata, and/or content) of the clips. A video-capturing device automatically produces a highlight reel by selecting the superlative clips (e.g., the best clips). This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2011Publication date: July 26, 2012Inventors: Andrew Morrison, Chris Park, Kevin Lau, Parthu Kishen, Desmond Smith, Michael Bibik
