Patent number: 11287521Abstract: System and methods for obtaining sizing of an irregularly shaped object. The methods comprise: displaying, by a display of a handheld scanner system, a 3D optical figure of a subject; displaying a grid superimposed over the 3D optical figure of the subject, the grid comprising a plurality of marks arranged in rows and columns; generating, by a radar module of the handheld scanner system, range data specifying a sensed spacing between the radar module and at least a surface of a first portion of the irregularly shaped object which is covered by at least one item; receiving, by a processor of the handheld scanner system, the range data from the radar module as the subject is being scanned; and causing at least one first visual characteristic of a first mark of said plurality of marks to change when corresponding range data is successfully received by the processor.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: BODIDATA, INC.Inventors: Albert Charpentier, Michael Boylan, Tuoc Luong, Hoa V.

Publication number: 20190295319Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a refined 3D model. The methods comprise: constructing a subject point cloud using at least optical camera data acquired by scanning a subject; using radar depth data to modify the subject point cloud to represent an occluded portion of the subject's real surface; generating a plurality of reference point clouds using (1) a first 3D model of a plurality of 3D models that represents an object belonging to a general object class or category to which the subject belongs and (2) a plurality of different setting vectors; identifying a first reference point cloud from the plurality of reference point clouds that is a best fit for the subject point cloud; obtaining a setting vector associated with the first reference point cloud; and transforming the first 3D model into the refined 3D model using the setting vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Hoa V.

Patent number: 9575172Abstract: A handheld scanner system for obtaining sizing of an irregularly shaped object. The system includes a housing and an inertial measurement unit configured to record orientation and displacement history of the housing. An optical module includes at least one 3D optical sensor configured to generate a 3D point cloud of information about the object. A radar module includes at least one radar sensor configured to sense spacing between the housing and the object. A processor receives data from the inertial measurement unit, the optical module and the radar module and creates a map representing the object based on the received data.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Bodidata, Inc.Inventors: Albert Charpentier, Michael Boylan, Robert Kutnick, Kent Worsnop, Young Harvill

Publication number: 20150371341Abstract: Moderation of social content is facilitated by the generation and assignment of social feeds to moderators. An admin tool may allow an administrator to generate a social feed by defining capture rules to capture social mentions from social networking services. The administrator may also select the social networking services for the social feed. The social feed may be assigned to moderators and/or moderator groups such that the social feed and the social mentions from the social feed appear in the moderation tools of the assigned moderators. The admin tool may also allow the administrator to further manage social feeds by unassigning moderators, modifying social feeds, deleting social feeds, and controlling privileges of moderators for social feeds.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2014Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Kannan Iyer, Pallav Laskar, Andrew Michael Boylan

Publication number: 20150342129Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant pot apparatus comprising a tray having a base and a raised rim. The apparatus further comprises a pot comprising a sidewall and a base defining an internal cavity. The pot provides at least one recess. The apparatus further comprises a support means arranged in use to stand on the tray and support the pot. At least a portion of the support means is arranged in use to be received within the at least one recess of the support means. The support means is adjustable so as Ito be arranged in use to support said pot in a first position in which the pot base is in contact with the tray and in a second position in which said base is supported spaced apart from the tray. The support means and/or pot is arranged in use to be rota table from the first position to the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventor: Michael BOYLAN

Publication number: 20150106208Abstract: Techniques for social parameter-based application audiences are described. In one or more embodiments, an audience is defined based on one or more social parameters. The audience can be associated with one or more objects in an application. A layout of content in the application can be defined based on the audience. The content can include the one or more objects that are associated with the audience, and the layout of content can be configured to be presented for display to a user of the application that has a social parameter that corresponds to the audience.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2013Publication date: April 16, 2015Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan Lancar, Chad Michael Krsek, Andrew Michael Boylan

Patent number: 5238717Abstract: An end cap for a filter element comprises first and second concentric components of a thermoplastic material. The first of the components forms a side wall and a base of a peripheral groove of the end cap while the second of the components forms a second side of the peripheral groove. The first and second components are connected by a weld extending around the components in the region of the peripheral groove. The weld may be an ultrasonic weld. This prevents distortion of the components at high temperatures by strengthening the composite while allowing use of lightweight inexpensive components that have smooth sealing surfaces with no injection mould parting lines.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1991Date of Patent: August 24, 1993Assignee: Pall CorporationInventor: Michael A.
