  • Patent number: 12613719
    Abstract: In some examples, a method involves rendering a graphical user interface having an Assignment Map canvas for specifying an Assignment Map, the Assignment Map graphically representing configuration data for a set of one or more user devices. User input specifies a set of conditional logic blocks at respective graphical positions within the Assignment Map canvas, each conditional logic block comprising one or more conditional logic nodes, each conditional logic node having a respective assignment rule and a respective set of Library Items. For each user device, the set of conditional logic blocks are evaluated in an order determined by a relative graphical position of each conditional logic block along a root line within the Assignment Map canvas. Each user device is then configured using respective configuration data generated based on an evaluation outcome of the plurality of conditional logic blocks.

  • Patent number: 11287521
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190295319
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9575172
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150342129
    Abstract: 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.
