Patent number: 10724725Abstract: Disclosed is a laser-based device for use primarily for laser light effects. The laser device comprises multiple red, green, and blue lasers. Each laser has a lens to collimate and focus each individual beam. The lasers are aligned such that each laser shares a common output axis. The intensity of each laser is adjustable thereby allowing the overall output color of the device to change. The overall output has over 16 million colors. Each laser-based device has a gimbal-like system to allow the devices change their orientation. A remote control system allows for the control and synchronization of multiple devices. Multiple devices may connect to the remote control system using cables, wireless transceivers, or both. Multiple devices may be located in close proximity to create a more powerful overall output beam. The remote control system allows for viewer interaction through an application installed onto a personal communication device.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventors: Timothy Lee Anderson, Tomas Kovacs

Patent number: 10460249Abstract: A system and method for projecting the likely future path of the subject of a sequential decision problem. The subject of the sequential decision problem takes an action beginning with the starting state of affairs and probabilistically transitions into other states according to the structure of the decision problem, the solution to the decision problem, possibly random events, and the decisions of the subject. The likely future path consists of a sequence of actions taken by the subject, the states the subject will likely be in after taking the projected actions, and the rewards the subject is likely to receive along the future path.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: SUPPORTED INTELLIGENCE, LLCInventor: Patrick Lee Anderson
