Patent number: 12175398Abstract: Objects associated with a self-checkout area are identified and tracked through transaction data comprised of transaction details, device statuses, transaction interrupts/events, and video feeds during transactions on Self-Service Terminals (SSTs). Selective objects and selective transaction data are correlated together in a group for each transaction. Actions required of an attendant who is managing the transactions are identified for each group. An Augmented Reality (AR) interface is provided on an attendant-operated device that visually and uniquely identifies the actions, each group requiring a given action, and each object of each group that is to be the subject of the given action. In an embodiment, remote verification, audit, and override actions are processed through gestures made by the attendant and detected by the AR interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: NCR Voyix CorporationInventors: Aleah Jean Kadry, Gina Torcivia Bennett, Jaier Gordon, Yoshiki Kakehi, Kelli Lee, Timothy Edward Mason, Kip Oliver Morgan, Mike Zheng

Publication number: 20240131545Abstract: A discrete product refill container and a rigid outer shell container. The refill container includes a product chamber and a fitment secured thereto. The fitment includes a ledge which is suitable for resting on a ledge of the rigid outer shell container while permitting the product chamber to pass into the shell interiorly to the ledge. It may also include a rim for grasping by transfer equipment. The fitment includes a destructive cover, i.e., one which cannot readily be re-closed, so that the consumer can easily make the product within the refill available for pumping, as desired. The rigid outer shell container can be snap fit closed. The refill bottle may be a pouch or a thin walled bottle, with a fitment. The fitment may serve to support the bottle in an inverted position for display or storage. The refill bottle may also include an integral ledge for support in the rigid outer shell container, instead of a discrete fitment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Slavica CESARE, Lauren Alicia UGLIUZZA, Graham Keith LACY, Jonathan Edward MASON, Gregory LALIER

Patent number: 11669993Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining position and pose of as well as tracking an object in a physical environment based on the emission and sensing of light signals. The derived position, pose and tracking information may be used in a VR/AR environment. The disclosed systems and methods allow for the improved tracking of both active and passive devices. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods enable an arbitrary number of light sensors to be disposed on an object, thereby increasing accuracy and mitigating the effects of occlusion of certain light sensors. Position and pose estimates may be refined and tracked using a filter lattice responsive to changes in observed system states and/or settings. Further, data received from an inertial measurement unit may be used to increase tracking accuracy as well as position and pose determination itself.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: GAMEFACE LABS INC.Inventors: Edward Mason, Aidan Delaney, Brady James Riddle

Patent number: 10151183Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a plunger lift system in a well can include: opening a control valve and allowing a plunger to rise to a top of the well; determining an actual rise time of the plunger based on a time it takes the plunger to rise to the top of the well; using actual rise time of the plunger and a target rise time calculating adjustments to the afterflow time or close time; and allowing the afterflow time to pass before closing the control valve and keeping the valve closed for the close time. The methods are repeated, each time calculating a new adjusted afterflow time or adjusted close time to incrementally alter these times.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Extreme Telematics, Corp.Inventors: Mark David Scantlebury, Clint Edward Mason
