  • Patent number: 11455775
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses involving 3D imaging. In accordance with certain aspects, a plurality of images of a 3D object are captured while movement of the 3D object is sensed by a sensor physically coupled thereto. The plurality of images include complementary portions and a feature of the 3D object. Pose data is generated for one of the plurality of images, based on data corresponding to the sensed movement and on the feature. The complementary portions are combined to generate a visual 3D image of the 3D object, based on the pose data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8466952
    Abstract: A method of determining whether a video frame meets the design composition requirements associated with a video conference, said method comprising steps performed by a processor of: providing design composition requirements for the video frame, wherein the design composition requirements are available at runtime; analyzing captured video content from a video conference, to determine whether a participant of interest is present in a video frame of the video content; and analyzing the video frame to determine if it meets the design composition requirements for the video conference.

  • Publication number: 20110096137
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of providing feedback to a participant in a video conference, comprising the steps of: establishing a video conferencing session between multiple participants, wherein each participant in the video conferencing session is associated with a video capture device and an audio capture device; and establishing presentation requirements for each participant, wherein the presentation requirements are associated with the video conferencing session and the video capture and audio capture devices associated with each participant, wherein responsive to a failure to meet the presentation requirements, feedback is sent to at least the local participant who has failed to meet the presentation requirements.

  • Patent number: 7811241
    Abstract: A therapeutic pillow includes a flexible body with mated inner and outer layers. Such an inner layer has an outer perimeter that terminates inwardly of an outer perimeter of the outer layer. The apparatus further includes a plurality of spherical objects removably situated within the body and directly abutting an inner surface of the inner layer. Each of the spherical objects has a unique diameter. The body has right and left ends selectively folded along a centrally registered latitudinal axis registered orthogonal to a longitudinal length of the body wherein the right and left ends are directly engaged in such a manner that the spherical objects are prohibited from escaping beyond the respective outer perimeters of the inner and outer layers during operating conditions.
