Patent number: 11669988Abstract: A mobile device is capable of being carried by a user and directed at a target object. The mobile device may implement a system to dimension the target object. The system, by way of the mobile device, may image the target object to and receive a 3D image stream, including one or more frames. Each frame may include a plurality of points, where each point has an associated depth value. Based on the depth value of the plurality of points, the system, by way of the mobile device, may determine one or more dimensions of the target object.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: 4DMOBILE, LLCInventors: Matthew D. Miller, Josh Berry, Mark Boyer

Patent number: 11470975Abstract: A stepstool includes a stool body and a stability extension. The stool body includes a top step and a support structure that supports the top step. The stability extension projects distally from a base portion of the support structure and extends distally beyond a distal edge of the top step. The stability extension is configured to be received in a toe-space at the base of floor-standing furniture, and the stool body is configured so that the distal edge of the top step can be positioned immediately adjacent to the floor-standing furniture, to provide mechanical interference and thus prevent tipping of the stool body when a user on the top step leans out of balance. Also, the sides of the support structure can be angled outwardly to provide a wider base portion for improved stability of the stool body.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Inventor: Mark Boyer

Publication number: 20200184667Abstract: A wearable augmented reality (AR) device (e.g., virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) device is disclosed. The wearable device communicates with a system for volume dimensioning via two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) sensor fusion. The AR device display to the user a two-dimensional (2D) image stream of a field of view (FOV) including target objects and 3D imaging data of the FOV including point clouds of each target object within the FOV. Target objects are identified by correlating the 2D and 3D image streams and generating a holographic model of the target object overlaid on the video stream, with adjustable surface, edge, and vertex guides. Precise dimensions and unique object identifiers of the target object are determined and decoded and displayed to the user via the wearable device; the user may manipulate or adjust the display via gestures or commands detectable by the wearable device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Matthew D.

Patent number: 10559086Abstract: A system for volume dimensioning via two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) sensor fusion, based in a tablet, phablet, or like mobile device, is disclosed. The mobile device includes a 2D imager for capturing an image stream of its field of view (FOV), the FOV including target objects. The mobile device includes a 3D imager for collecting 3D imaging data of the FOV including point clouds of each target object within the FOV. Processors of the mobile device positively identify a particular target object by correlating the 2D and 3D image streams and generating a holographic model of the target object overlaid on the video stream, with adjustable surface, edge, and vertex guides. The processors determine the precise dimensions of the target object by measuring the holographic model, and detect and decode object identifiers (2D or 3D) on the surface of the target object to acquire and supplement object data.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: 4DMobile, LLCInventors: Matthew D.

Publication number: 20050274711Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity, an electric heating element, a control element for selecting an oven cavity temperature, a timer and a calibration system for regulating operational parameters of the cooking appliance. The calibration system adjusts operational parameters of the cooking appliance based upon an amount of time required to achieve the selected oven cavity temperature. Preferably, the timer measures the amount of time needed to achieve the oven cavity temperature during a no load condition in order to set a baseline. Once the time is determined, the calibration system adjusts offset temperatures, hysterisis temperatures and/or cooking times to account for variations in power delivered to the oven cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2004Publication date: December 15, 2005Inventor: Mark Boyer

Patent number: 6167484Abstract: A method and apparatus that improves either power savings and/or DRAM system access bandwidth in an embedded DRAM device. The apparatus (200, 800, or 900) contains embedded DRAM memory devices (212, 802, or 902) which require refresh operations in order to retain data. As the memory devices (212, 802, or 902) are accessed by read and write system operations and by refresh operations, a set of history bits (204, 808, 904) are continually updated to indicate a level of freshness for the charge stored in various DRAM memory rows. When scheduled refresh opportunities arrive for each memory row in the embedded DRAM devices, the history bits (204, 808, 904) are accessed to determine if the refresh operation of a row of memory should be performed or if the refresh operation should be postponed until a subsequent refresh time period.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: John Mark Boyer, William Clayton Bruce, Jr., Grady Lawrence Giles, Thomas K. Johnston, Bernard J. Pappert, John J. Vaglica
