Patent number: 10916004Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of processing depth data and image data from a robotic device having a camera and a depth measurement device mounted to a chassis of the robotic device to generate a data set representative of a three-dimensional map of an environment in which the robotic device is located. The camera is arranged to generate image data relating to the environment. The depth measurement device is arranged to generate depth data relating to the environment. The method comprises generating image data and depth data at a first location of the robotic device in the environment, whereby to generate a first data set comprising a plurality of data points. The method further comprises moving the robotic device to at least a second location in the environment. The method further comprises generating image data and depth data at the second location, whereby to generate a second data set comprising a plurality of data points.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Q-Bot LimitedInventors: Matthew Holloway, Miguel Julia Cristobal, Peter Childs

Patent number: 10875044Abstract: A robotic vehicle, in particular for spraying insulation material, comprises a chassis (110), at least two driven wheels (122) having a common axis of rotation, and a wheel connecting member (151) which connects the two wheels (122). The wheel connecting member (151) is connected to the chassis by a pivotal connection which allows the wheel connecting member to pivot with respect to the chassis about a pivoting axis transverse to the common axis of rotation of the wheels. The wheel connecting member (151) may be removably mounted to the chassis (110).Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Q-Bot LimitedInventors: Daniel Taylor, Matthew Holloway, Miguel Julia Cristobal, Thomas Lipinski

Patent number: 9881330Abstract: A system, a method, and a user interface are described for personalizing and sending stationery/cards. A reminder list on the user interface includes a list of reminder entries each identifying an upcoming event including events generated based on a specified relationship between the user and one or more contacts of the user. A recommendation region is populated one or more recommended stationery/card designs associated with one of the entries in the reminder list. A stationery/card personalization engine provides the user with a set of personalization options related to the selected stationery/card design, and generates personalized stationery based on the selected stationery/card design and the user input.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Shutterfly, Inc.Inventors: Kelly Berger, Adnan Asar, Kevin Chang, Matthew Holloway, Eugene Chen, Kris Salvador

Publication number: 20050133152Abstract: The present invention is directed to a photocurable composition for use as an encapsulant, for underfill or attachment adhesives, capable of curing at wavelengths greater than 290 nm. Reaction products of these photocurable compositions have a low level of extractable halide ion, such as less than 100 ppm. In use, the photocurable composition may be applied, for instance, over the wire bonds that electrically connect a semiconductor device to a substrate to maintain a fixed positional relationship and protect the integrity of the electrical connection from vibrational and shock disturbances, as well as from interference from environmental contaminants.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2004Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Helen Murray, Jonathan Wigham, John Cahill, Aisling Lakes, Matthew Holloway, Eadaoin Ledwidge, Mary Ward

Patent number: 6161102Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing information in a data processing system which is coupled to an information storage device having information stored therein. The method includes defining on a first processor a first search request which includes at least one parameter which specifies a first desired type of information, then performing a first search using the first request to determine whether the first type of desired information is stored in the information storage device. While performing the first search the first processor executes another process associated with searching for information in the data processing system. This other process typically includes defining a further search request and performing a further search using the further search request while the first search is being performed. The apparatus of the present invention includes a first processor coupled to the information storage device and a second processor coupled to a network to the first processor.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1997Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Kazu Yanagihara, Steven F. Peralta, Robin E. Martherus, Gregory B. Vaughan, Matthew Holloway
