Patent number: 11960099Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for producing non-rotationally symmetric optical aberrations. Such aberrations may be created by a removable attachment that may be attached to another lens, such as a spherical lens. Aberrations that appear to reproduce an anamorphic effect may be produced, yet the underlying camera system may remain a spherical camera system, and the capture mode may remain non-anamorphic.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Panavision International, L.P.Inventors: Daniel Keith Sasaki, Brian Grant Mills, Rick Takeshi Ishioka

Patent number: 11708307Abstract: A composition comprises at least one form of attapulgite present in a solid weight fraction amount ranging from 0.25% to 5%; kaolin present in a solid weight fraction amount ranging from 17% to 50%; and optionally Ball Clay in a solid weight fraction amount ranging from 0% to 25%. Although makeable by other processes, in some embodiments, the composition is makeable by mixing component ingredients. Although usable for other purposes, in some embodiments, the composition is used to make ceramic pieces, e.g., via casting, pressing, jiggering or jollying, especially when the slip has solids, chemistry and viscosity suitable for shaping before drying, sintering, and optionally finishing.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Active Minerals International, LLCInventors: Dennis Clay Parker, Robert J. Purcell, Jr., Matthew J. Lyman, Donald Keith Mills, John W. Kitchens, Charles Pettit, James Cutright

Patent number: 11321540Abstract: Fragment recall and adaptive automated translation are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining that an exact or fuzzy match for a portion of a source input cannot be found in a translation memory, performing fragment recall by matching subsegments in the portion against one or more whole translation units stored in the translation memory, and matching subsegments in the portion against corresponding one or more subsegments inside the one or more matching whole translation units, and returning any of the one or more matching whole translation units and the one or more matching subsegments as a fuzzy match, as well as the translations of those subsegments.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: SDL Inc.Inventors: Erik de Vrieze, Keith Mills
