Patent number: 11960444Abstract: A method of providing file data for a media file of a pre-determined format from a file system comprising a file record database and a data store, wherein the media file corresponds to a programme consisting of a plurality of segments, and wherein the segments included in the programme are dynamically determined. The method comprising the steps of receiving details of the programme including the duration of the programme, and determining the layout of the media file in the pre-determined format from the received details of the programme, the layout including locations for essence data within the file. A file record for the media file in the file record database is then created. In response to a request for the location of essence data within the file, a location given by determined layout of the media file is returned. Further, in response to an instruction that a segment is to be included in the programme, essence data corresponding to the contents of the segment is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: GRASS VALLEY LIMITEDInventors: Simon Darryl Rogers, James Westland Cain, Michael James Weaver

Publication number: 20210043334Abstract: An argon fluoride (ArF) laser system for inertial nuclear fusion energy production with lower required laser energy than other laser drivers. An Argon fluoride laser system uniformly illuminates a spherical capsule comprising an outer ablator wall surrounding an inner shell comprising the fusion fuel. The laser beams are adjusted spectrally to achieve a bandwidth of up to 12 THz and a coherence time as low as 80 femtoseconds that in combination with the short wavelength (193 nm) suppress laser plasma instabilities. Uniform spherical acceleration causes the inner shell of the target capsule to form a spherical assembly of compressed fuel surrounding a “hot spot” that has sufficient temperature, density and size to ignite and initiate a thermonuclear burn.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Stephen P. Obenschain, Malcolm W. McGeoch, Matthew Wolford, Andrew Schmitt, Matthew Myers, Max Karasik, James Weaver, Jason Bates

Patent number: 10259164Abstract: An unorganized point cloud may be created by an optical 3D scanner that scans a physical object, or by computer simulation. The point cloud may be converted into binary raster layers, which encode material deposition instructions for a multi-material 3D printer. In many cases, this conversion—from point cloud to binary raster files—is achieved without producing a 3D voxel representation and without producing a boundary representation of the object to be printed. The conversion may involve spatial queries to find nearby points, filtering material properties of the found points, looking up material mixing ratios, and dithering to produce binary raster files. These raster files may be sent to a multi-material 3D printer to control fabrication of an object. A user interface may display a preview of the object to be printed, and may accept user input to create or modify a point cloud.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Inventors: Christoph Bader, Dominik Kolb, Neri Oxman, James Weaver

Patent number: 10019448Abstract: A method of providing file data for a media file from a file system, where the format of the file requires that the file comprise a plurality of segments of file data located at pre-declared locations within the file. The file data making up the file is based upon derived file data. After receiving a request to open the file, a maximum segment length for the file is determined based on the desired properties of the file. In response to a request for the location of a segment within the file, a location calculated by considering each segment of the file to have the maximum segment length is returned. In response to a request for file data from a segment of the file, generated file data for the segment is returned, where the generated file data comprises the derived file data and padding data to give the generated file data the maximum segment length.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Quantel LimitedInventors: James Westland Cain, Simon Darryl Rogers, Michael James Weaver

Patent number: 9836465Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide an improved file system that provides essence data for a media file in a way that does not require the contents of the entire file to be available before any file data can be provided. The present invention is reflected in a method of providing file data for a media file of a pre-determined format from a file system comprising a file record database and a data store, wherein the media file corresponds to a programme. The method comprises the steps of receiving details of the programme including the duration of the programme, and determining the layout of the media file in the pre-determined format from the received details of the programme, the layout including locations for essence data within the file. A file record for the media file is then created in the file record database. In response to a request for the location of essence data within the file, a location given by the determined layout of the media file is returned.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Quantel LimitedInventors: Simon Darryl Rogers, James Westland Cain, Michael James Weaver

Publication number: 20170230433Abstract: Cross platform shared asset techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a version of an asset is received that is configured to support consumption via a corresponding application. Another version is formed of the asset as one or more images from one or more pages of the asset. Responsive to receipt of a request from an appliance to obtain the asset for consumption as part of a shared workspace, a determination is made as to whether the appliance is to consume the asset using the application. Responsive to the determination that the asset is not to be consumed by the appliance using the corresponding application, a communication is formed for receipt by the particular appliance via a network that includes at least said image from the other version of the asset.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicant: Prysm, Inc.Inventors: Dino Cris Carlos, Stephen James Weaver, Andrew J. Weston

Publication number: 20170230466Abstract: Various embodiments enable user-applied annotations that arecreated and visually associated with an asset on one appliance to be shared amongst and synchronized between other appliances working together in a collaborative workspace environment. As an annotation is made, a stroke collection is defined and provided into a formatted list that represents the annotation. The formatted list is transmitted to a collaboration server which then notifies other appliances of the new annotation. When the other appliances request the formatted list, the collaborative server transmits the formatted list to the other applications so that the new annotation can be rendered on a corresponding display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicant: Prysm, Inc.Inventors: Dino Cris Carlos, Stephen James Weaver, Adam P.
