Patent number: 11585724Abstract: A lensmeter system may include a mobile device having a camera. The camera may capture a first image of a pattern through a lens that is separate from the camera, while the lens is in contact with a pattern. The mobile device may determine the size of the lens based on the first image and known features of the pattern. The camera may capture a second image of the pattern, while the lens is at an intermediate location between the camera and the pattern. The second image may be transformed to an ideal coordinate system, and processed determine a distortion of the pattern attributable to the lens. The mobile device may measure characteristics of the lens based on the distortion. Characteristics of the lens may include a spherical power, a cylinder power, and/or an astigmatism angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Warby Parker Inc.Inventors: David Howard Goldberg, Joseph Carrafa

Patent number: 11488239Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for virtual fitting of items such as spectacles and/or spectacle frames. A user interface for virtual fitting may be implemented at a server or at a user device, and utilize three-dimensional information for the user and three-dimensional information for each frame, with frame information stored in a frame database, to identify and/or recommend frames that are likely to fit the user. Fit information can be provided for a group of frames or for each individual frame selected by the user. The fit information can be provided with a static image of the frames and/or within a virtual try-on operation in which the frames are virtually placed on a real-time image of the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Warby Parker Inc.Inventors: David Howard Goldberg, Hannah Zachritz, Taylor Alexandra Duffy, Sasha Laundy

Patent number: 7236279Abstract: The present invention provides a digital optical switch apparatus and process for manufacturing the apparatus. The apparatus includes a mirror assembly coupled to a top cap and to a bottom cap. The top and bottom caps each include one or more electrodes that, when energized with electrical energy, move a mirrored surface to one of a plurality of discrete positions. Mirror assemblies can be cascaded to create a packaged assembly having any multiple of discrete positions. The process includes planar micro-machining techniques to create isolated islands for electrical feed through. The process enables mechanical bonding of multiple tiers via a single bond region and through a bond-pad window.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Input/Output, Inc.Inventors: Duli Yu, Arjun Selvakumar, Howard Goldberg, Taechung Yi

Publication number: 20070058557Abstract: A communication network includes at least two nodes which exchange data packets. The communication network further includes a processor and a data transmission scheduling unit. The processor monitors the data packets, collects and analyzes information contained in the data packets, and identifies a particular service based on the monitoring of the data packets and the analysis of the information contained in the data packets. The data transmission scheduling unit schedules the transmission of data packets exchanged between the nodes based on a predefined traffic data pattern model selected by the processor from a plurality of predefined traffic data pattern models which is most appropriate for the identified service. Alternatively, a neural network is used to identify the service and select the most appropriate traffic data pattern model used by the data transmission scheduling unit to schedule the transmission of the data packets.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Applicant: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Angelo Cuffaro, Howard Goldberg, Michel Desgagne
