Patent number: 11356543Abstract: This invention provides a module/base assembly for a handheld device. The module includes an imager with optics and image acquisition/processing processors that provide high speed acquisition and handling of acquired image data. The acquired image data is processed by the device processor using a module application that resides within the device. A removable retaining component mounts within the base. The base houses a battery and charging assembly e.g. an inductive charging unit. The inductive charging unit can be adapted to pass data, in addition to power, between the inductive coils and the charging unit can be interconnected to a data network with attached devices that employ data from the module. The base can charge the device via a connector and/or wireless charging arrangement. Data communication between the base and mobile device can occur using an RF link, e.g. an integrated Bluetooth® functionality.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Cognex CorporationInventors: John Bryan Boatner, Kai Fluegge, Mario Joussen, Laurens Nunnink, Carl W.

Patent number: 11082769Abstract: An audio system and method for enhancing audio quality in telecommunications applications. Specifically, a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided to allow an observer to visualize pickup zones within an environment that schematically represent areas of heightened microphone sensitivity. A microphone array and camera are arranged to obtain an audio signal and an image which correspond to a talker within the environment. The images are displayed via a first device or are transmitted to a second device and are displayed to the observer, while the audio signal is converted into an audio output by the second device. Visual overlays are provided, via the visualization window, corresponding with pickup zones within the environment corresponding to areas of heightened microphone sensitivity. The observer may adjust the visual overlay corresponding with each pickup zone using the GUI provided, resulting in an adjustment of the pickup zones by the microphone array within the environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Darryl John Bryans, Zubair Khan, Jenna Duggan-Lykes, Michael Pocino

Patent number: 10902512Abstract: A payment processing system is configured to expose an API to provide financing terms to a financial institution. The payment processing system receives, via the API, a request from the financial institution to calculate financing terms for providing capital to a merchant based on the merchant's financial history with the payment processing system and/or the financial institution. The payment processing system calculates the financing terms including an approved financing amount and repayment terms, which may include a portion of the transaction processed by the payment processing system or the financial institution to be withheld for repayment of the approved financing amount. The payment processing system transmits the financing terms to the financial institution via the API.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: SQUARE, INC.Inventors: Adam Jeremy Fern, Andrew Kimball, John Bryan Scott, Brian Boates
