Publication number: 20260330711Abstract: A high dynamic range editing system is configured to generate visualizations to aide digital image editing in both high dynamic ranges and standard dynamic ranges. In a first example, the visualization is generated as a histogram. In a second example, the visualization is generated to indicate high dynamic range capabilities. In a third example, the visualization is generated to indicate ranges of luminance values within a digital image. In a fourth example, the visualization is generated as a point curve that defines a mapping between detected luminance values from a digital image and output luminance values over both a standard dynamic range and a high dynamic range. In a fifth example, the visualization is generated as a preview to convert pixels from the digital image in a high dynamic range into a standard dynamic range.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2026Publication date: October 22, 2026Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Eric Chan, Thomas Frederick Knoll, Gregory Paul Zulkie

Patent number: 12666158Abstract: Gain map generation, embedding, and application for high dynamic range digital image functionality are described. In one example, a gain map is generated based on a digital image, e.g., as a ratio of a standard dynamic range digital image and a high dynamic range digital image. The gain map is configured to adjust an amount of gain of a digital image between a high dynamic range (HDR) and a standard dynamic range (SDR). Metadata is generated based on the gain map. The metadata describes how the gain map is to be applied to the digital image as part of rendering. The gain map, the metadata, and the digital image are embedded within a digital image file and stored.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2023Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Eric Chan, Thomas F.

Patent number: 12485554Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and systems for automatically determining and correcting the levelness of a wafer handling robot end effector. The systems may use a tilt sensor or a gravitational field sensor which may be calibrated to the wafer handling robot. The output from the tilt sensor may be used to determine or estimate the tilt of an end effector of the wafer handling robot and to perform correctional positioning to reduce or eliminate the tilt, to automatically teach certain positions that have reduced tilt, to perform health checks on the robot, provide feedback to a user, etc.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Richard M.

Publication number: 20250190863Abstract: A system may be configured for sending a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) request based on a location of an external device (502). An inhaler (100) may include medicament, an electronics module (120), and/or a Quick Response (QR) code (160). An external device may determine a URL and/or a medicament type of the inhaler (100) based on the QR code (160). The external device may send an indication of the medicament type and/or a location indication to a server that hosts the URL. In response, the external device (502) may receive an application store URL that is specific to the medicament type and/or the location of the external device. The external device may send a request to the application store URL to download software that is specific to the inhaler (100) and/or the medicament type of the inhaler. The application store URL may be specific to a country that the external device is located.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Applicant: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Enrique Calderon Oliveras, Anthony Kirwan, Eric Chan, Mark Milton-Edwards, Michael Naumov, Olga Khanikova

Patent number: 12322485Abstract: A system may include a plurality of inhalers, where each inhaler comprising medicament, a processor, memory, and a transmitter, multiple processing modules that may reside at least partially on a user device, a digital health platform (DHP) that is configured to receive and aggregate inhaler data from inhalers that are associated with a plurality of different users and a plurality of different medicament types. The DHP may determine a subset of the usage events based on the determined medication type, the determined time of day, and/or the determined date range. The DHP may determine a filtered list of users out of the plurality of users based on a comparison of the selected inhalation count threshold with the number of usage events that are associated with the same user and medication type.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: June 3, 2025Assignee: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Eric Chan, John Macey, Jon Cody Goldberg, Jenna-Leigh Meola

Publication number: 20240049730Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bread baking mold including a frame, a cover plate provided at the top of the frame, a bottom plate provided at the bottom of the frame, and at least a container provided in the frame. Wherein the cover plate and the bottom plate can opening and/or closing relative to the frame respectively. When it is necessary to produce toasts of various sizes and shapes, it only needs to replace the container, and there is no need to repurchase a complete set of mold, which can effectively reduce the use cost. The container is convenient to be replaced and can be selected according to the amount of raw material to be produced, which can effectively reduce material waste. The cover plate and the bottom plate are detachable after use. There are no dead corners in the cleaning process, which is helpful to keep clean, to ensure sanitation in use, and to reduce storage space.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: Eric Chan
