Patent number: 10827414Abstract: A communication system allows communication between two users separated by a long distance includes a source ground station, a constellation, one or more linking-gateways, and a destination ground station. The constellation includes groups of communication devices orbiting or traveling around the earth. A first communication device of a first group of communication devices is in communication with the source ground station and receives a communication from the source ground station. The linking-gateway is in communication with at least the first and a second group of communication devices. The linking-gateway receives the communication from the first group of communication devices and sends the communication to a second communication device of the second group of communication devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Travis Roland Beals, Christopher Richard Uhlik

Patent number: 10127194Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for performing recursive embedding by URL parameterization are provided. Recursive embedding by URL parameterization may be performed by receiving a display parameter for defining a window display area within a portion of a first document associated with a first application having a first format, and a URL-based identifier specifying a portion of a second document associated with a second application having a second format. The first and second formats are different from each other. A display of the portion of first including the window display area is generated. The specified portion of the second document is displayed within the window display area, and the first and second documents are independently executable with respect to each other.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Christopher Richard Uhlik

Patent number: 8510312Abstract: A system identifies metadata associated with a document by capturing text of a document and comparing the text of the document with a collection of metadata records. Sets of matches between the text of the document and at least one record in the collection of metadata records may be identified, where each set of matches corresponds to a metadata record in the collection of metadata records. Metadata records corresponding to each set of matches may be scored. At least one of the metadata records may be identified based on the scores of the metadata records. The at least one identified metadata record may be associated with the document.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Romain Thibaux, Luc Vincent, Christopher Richard Uhlik, Raghavan Manmatha, Xuefu Wang

Patent number: 8189685Abstract: An information retrieval system is provided for processing queries for video content. A server receives a query for video content and returns video articles, as received from broadcast systems or other content providers. Queries are formulated using text, video images, and/or visual content associated with a video article. Various video-oriented characteristics associated with the results of the queries are determined and a rank score is calculated for each. The ranked video articles are displayed in a representation to the user, from which the user can play the video article either within the representation or independent of it.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 29, 2012

Patent number: 7978673Abstract: Wireless communication traffic channels are allocated based on random plus planned processes. A request for a traffic channel is sent on a random traffic channel that is not a dedicated random access channel. A determination is made whether to allocate a traffic channel based on status of a subscriber that sere the traffic channel request, including determining base on temps of subscription of the subscriber. An implementation at a base station includes receiving the request on a traffic channel making the determination, and assigning either the traffic channel on which the request was received, or another channel. In a user terminal, the user terminal sends the request on a random traffic channel that it is not assigned to, and receives a traffic channel allocation, or an indication that no channel is available.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Christopher Richard Uhlik, Douglas Dahlby

Patent number: 7605844Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing images of opposing pages in a bound document at high speed using multiple cameras are disclosed. The system generally includes a cradle preferably tilted toward an operator for holding a bound document having two opposing sides, and two cameras each positioned to capture an image of a corresponding side, each camera having an image capture size approximately the size of each side. The cameras may be high definition and store images via direct high speed data communication interfaces, e.g., firewire. A controller and/or foot pedal may provide control of the cameras. The controller may control flashes to selectively light each side simultaneous with each camera capturing the image of the corresponding side. A positioner may position a light-absorbing page between opposing sides.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2003Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Page, Christopher Richard Uhlik
