Publication number: 20240049881Abstract: A chair that provides movement of a seat about an axis of rotation above the seat plane with the seat having a sensor in communication with a computer system that tracks movement. The seat may be simultaneously pivotable about a second axis of rotation defining a range of motion for the seat about the two axes. An actuation system in communication with the computer system can move the seat to desired positions and/or prevent the seat from being positioned at certain locations within the range of motion. The computer system may also include an application that can promote user movement within the seat and allow movement of the seat to be used for gaming, health monitoring and treatment, activity tracking, and the like. The chair may include a mechanism that has one or more glides operably received in curved structures to provide the movement about the axes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Michael David Collier, Michael David Collier

Patent number: 11229291Abstract: A chair that provides movement side-to-side about a first pivot axis positioned above the seat plane allows the user a wide range of dynamic movement, but does not require constant or excessive action on the part of the user to maintain a desired position. In addition and concurrently thereto, the structure may include a second pivot that is also positioned above the seat plane and that provides forward-and-back movement of the seat. The first and second pivot axes can be engaged synchronously or independently by the user as desired delivering infinite degrees of angles of movement. Said pivot axes are more closely adjacent to the human body pivot joints and axes. The seat and seat back may be joined together to a central spine frame that moves about the second pivot, thereby maintaining the seatback position and seat position relative to each other during forward-and-back movement of the spine along the second pivot.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Inventor: Michael David Collier

Patent number: 10990829Abstract: In some examples, a camera tracking failure in a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process with respect to a first SLAM map may be identified. Responsive to identification of the camera tracking failure, a second SLAM map for the SLAM process may be initialized. A video frame tracked through the second SLAM map may be accessed. Matched features between the video frame and individual keyframes of the first SLAM map may be identified to determine a keyframe subset. The keyframe subset may be analyzed to determine a candidate camera position from among the keyframe subset. The candidate camera position may be tracked with respect to the first SLAM map for subsequent video frames. The first SLAM map may be stitched to the second SLAM map responsive to tracking the candidate camera position with respect to the first SLAM map for the subsequent.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Micro Focus LLCInventors: Pashmina Cameron, David Collier
