Patent number: 11218761Abstract: A computing device includes memory for storing commercial metadata and offer metadata harvested from within an offer distribution network. A processor compares the commercial metadata related to a broadcast commercial to be streamed to a client media device with the offer metadata related to available offers from offer providers, to generate a comparison. The processor then selects an offer from the available offers based on the comparison; determines when and over what video stream the broadcast commercial is to be streamed; detects that a screen device is paired to the client media device; and delivers the offer to a display of the screen device during streaming of the broadcast commercial over the video stream to the client media device. When a user of the screen device selects an indicia of the offer, the offer is collected into a virtual wallet from which the offer can be redeemed in various ways.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Roku, Inc.Inventors: David John Evans, Thomas Greenway, Martin Ian Spicer

Patent number: 10129524Abstract: According to various embodiments of the invention, a system and method are provided for enabling interaction with, manipulation of, and control of depth-assigned content in depth-enhanced pictures, such as virtual reality images. Depth-assigned content can be assigned to a specified depth value. When a depth-enhanced picture is refocused at a focus depth substantially different from the specified assigned depth value, the depth-assigned content may be omitted, grayed out, blurred, or otherwise visually distinguished. In this manner, content associated with an in-focus image element can be visually distinguished from content associated with an out-of-focus image element. For example, in at least one embodiment, depth-assigned content is visible only when an image element associated with the content is in focus (or nearly in focus).Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Yi-Ren Ng, Eric Cheng, Chia-Kai Liang, Kayvon Fatahalian, David John Evans, Kira Wampler, Kristen Berman, Kurt Barton Akeley

Publication number: 20170196990Abstract: Disclosed is a solid phase method of synthesising biomolecule-drug-conjugates (e.g. antibody-drug-conjugates) using photocleavable moieties. The method comprises: (i) providing an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate; (ii) optionally contacting the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate with a chemical modification agent or activating agent to provide an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate that is chemically modified or activated at the biomolecule portion; (iii) contacting the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate of step (i) or the chemically modified or activated immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule conjugate of step (ii) with a drug component to form an immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule-drug-conjugate; and (iv) irradiating the immobilised photocleavable group-biomolecule-drug-conjugate of step (iii) with radiation thereby releasing the biomolecule-drug-conjugate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2015Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Charles Ian Robert Johnson, Sara Louise Jenkins, Colin Martin McKee, David John Evans
