Publication number: 20220360737Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining an image resource allocation for displaying content within a display area. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to other objects in the space. The viewing distance between the user and the display area (e.g., the display device) may be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area. Prioritization data associated with the content may be used to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Alan Leech, Nicholas Adam Pinckernell, Edward David Monnerat, Chris Robinson, Derek Johnson

Patent number: 11312015Abstract: A system and method for moving an object against a working surface of a finishing machine that is set in a fixed position. The object is moved in a precise movement pattern while following a precise contact pressure pattern. The object is moved against the working surface of the finishing machine using a robot with an articulating arm. Other movement is provided by a dynamic platform upon which the robot rests. The dynamic platform includes a linear slide that enables the robot to reciprocally move. The dynamic platform also includes an active contact flange that acts upon the linear slide. The active contact flange is programmable and imparts the contact pressure pattern to the object through the linear slide and the robot. A rotary table can also be provided that selectively rotates the robot, the linear slide and the active contact flange.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Reliabotics LLCInventors: Steven Evers, Frank Thissen, Chris Robinson
