Patent number: 12154139Abstract: Systems are disclosed for determining contextual segments for targeting contextual advertising in metaverses. The system can deploy an observer avatar in a metaverse to capture information inside a portion of a metaverse from behaviors and interactions of a target user avatar. The observer avatar can capture audio, video, images, and text perceived by the observer avatar in the area of the user avatar, along with metadata describing the captured information. Using the captured observations, the system can determine contextual segments classifying the portion of the metaverse. Using a library of the contextual segments, advertisers can distribute contextually targeted advertisements.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jason Canney, Frank Appiah, Christopher Stark, John Orosa

Patent number: 11210861Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for setting and visualizing parameters of an objective lens of a camera, in particular for focusing on a moving object, and to a system for per-forming the method. The camera is, for example, embodied as a film camera, in particular as a film camera used in cinematography. The method includes the following steps: calcu-lating a relative position and an alignment of a depth of field of the objective lens in the 3D space, observing the 3D space and/or the object with an AR display and observation de-vice, displaying the relative position and the alignment of the depth of field of the objective lens as an image in the AR display and observation device and/or displaying a focal plane as an image in the AR display and observation device, and setting the objective lens to ob-tain a desired depth of field of the objective lens.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Carl Zeiss AGInventors: Benedikt Hartmann, Joachim Welker, Christoph Stark

Patent number: 10941364Abstract: A method for the desulphurisation of a gas stream containing hydrogen sulphide, in particular a combustion gas stream used for combustion in a gas turbine, wherein the gas stream is brought into contact with a scrubbing medium containing a catalyst to absorb the hydrogen sulphide, forming elementary sulphur; the catalyst is reduced on formation of the elementary sulphur; the scrubbing medium containing the reduced catalyst is fed to a regeneration stage in which the reduced catalyst is regenerated by oxidation with an oxygen-containing gas which is fed to the regeneration stage; the oxygen-containing gas is fed to the regeneration stage from a compression stage of the gas turbine; and the gas which is depleted of oxygen during regeneration of the catalyst is fed to at least one turbine stage fluidically connected downstream of the compression stage.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Ralph Joh, Jenny Larfeldt, Christoph Starke, RĂ¼diger Schneider

Patent number: 10837450Abstract: A compressor rotor blade for an axial-type compressor has a blade profile having a transonic section and a profile section which extends in the transonic section and has concave and convex suction-side regions on the suction side, the convex suction-side region arranged downstream of the concave suction-side region, and has convex and concave pressure-side regions on the pressure side, the concave pressure-side region arranged downstream of the convex pressure-side region. Curvature progressions on the pressure side and on the suction side are both applied in a continuous manner over a profile chord of the profile section, the positions of the minimum values of the curvature progressions deviate from each other by not more than 10% of the length of the profile chord, and the positions of the maximum values of the curvature progressions deviate from each other by not more than 10% of the length of the profile chord.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Cornelius, Christoph Starke
