Patent number: 11852570Abstract: A method for preparing a sample of organic material for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) may include obtaining granular organic material, forming a portion of the granular organic material into a sample pellet, and searing the organic material. The searing may include searing only an exposed end surface of the sample pellet on which LIBS analysis is to be performed. The method may include pressing the seared sample pellet to consolidate the material comprising the seared end surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Foss Analytical A/SInventors: Thomas Nikolajsen, Daniel Aden

Patent number: 11748992Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden, Matthew Amacker, Charles Robert Barker, Paul Vincent Byrne, Paul Du Bois, Greg Joseph Klein, Steve Scott Tompkins

Publication number: 20230215181Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a subscriber device, a request including virtual region characteristics and an occupancy threshold, and determining, using image data captured by a camera and the virtual region characteristics, a virtual region corresponding to a portion of a physical region within a field of view of the camera. The virtual region is smaller than the physical region. The method also includes determining, using the image data, an occupancy of the virtual region and determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold. In response to determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold, the method also includes generating a notification to the subscriber device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden, Matthew Amacker, Charles Robert Barker, Paul Vincent Byrne, Paul Du Bois, Greg Joseph Klein, Steve Scott Tompkins

Patent number: 10666929Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a hardware system for inverse graphics capture. An inverse graphics capture system (IGCS) captures data regarding a physical space that can be used to generate a photorealistic graphical model of that physical space. In certain approaches, the system includes hardware and accompanying software used to create a photorealistic six degree of freedom (6DOF) graphical model of the physical space. In certain approaches, the system includes hardware and accompanying software used for projection mapping onto the physical space. In certain approaches, the model produced by the IGCS is built using data regarding the geometry, lighting, surfaces, and environment of the physical space. In certain approaches, the model produced by the IGCS is both photorealistic and fully modifiable.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Gary Bradski, Moshe Benezra, Daniel A.

Patent number: 10651936Abstract: Systems are provided to emit, into an environment of interest, information in the form of modulated optical signals. These optical signals can be provided as illumination from a lighting fixture, display, or other source of environmental illumination. The optical signals can include codes or other information to facilitate location-specific operations of a device that is able to receive the optical signals. This can include receiving information about the location of a light emitter, security credentials or encryption keys, information about services that are available from building automation and/or conferencing systems, or other location-related information.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Matthew Amacker, Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden
