  • Publication number: 20230274499
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a methodology that allows a user to “orbit” around a model on a specific axis of rotation and view an orthographic floor plan of the model. A user may view and “walk through” the model while staying at a specific height above the ground with smooth transitions between orbiting, floor plan, and walking modes.

  • Publication number: 20220112639
    Abstract: A series of polyester and vinyl ester based insoluble binder compositions for use with fiberglass are provided. These compositions are comprised of cross-linkable unsaturated resins used in tandem with various azo initiators. The compositions are capable of thermally curing; creating a water and organic-insoluble binder exhibiting good adhesion to glass. These thermally cured binders are able to provide similar fiberglass tensile strength to the conventional dibenzoyl peroxide containing compositions, while exhibiting improved retention of whiteness over time.

  • Patent number: 11209634
    Abstract: An optical system includes a splitting optic configured to receive a light beam from a light source and form a set of light bands radiating from the optical system at predetermined angles relative to illuminate a scene. The optical system further includes a lens configured to project a field of view of the scene into a two-dimensional format. The optical system further includes an optical sensor arranged offset from the central axis of the lens to capture a segment of the field of view projected by the lens.

  • Patent number: 11097937
    Abstract: An ordering app running on a mobile device, one or more central servers, one or more venue servers, one or more ordering apps, plug-ins, kiosks, point of sale systems, beacons, pucks, tents, and automated appliances cooperate to prepare orders for a customer. Methods embodied as software programs running on the venue servers and the central servers advance the customer's order through various modules hosted on the venue server. A final module causes the customer's order to be prepared.

  • Publication number: 20210166495
    Abstract: Systems and methods for building a three-dimensional composite scene are disclosed. Certain embodiments of the systems and methods may include the use of a three-dimensional capture device that captures a plurality of three-dimensional images of an environment. Some embodiments may further include elements concerning aligning and/or mapping the captured images. Various embodiments may further include elements concerning reconstructing the environment from which the images were captured. The methods disclosed herein may be performed by a program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium when executed the program is executed a processor.
