Patent number: 11310413Abstract: A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both photo and video capture. Based on a first user interface activity, a timing reference is engaged at a first reference time. In a first case, photo capture is performed. In the first case, a second reference time is based on a second user interface activity, and the timing reference indicates a passage of time between the two reference times is shorter than a particular time interval. In a second case, video capture is performed. In the second case, the timing reference indicates a passage of time since the first reference time is equal to or longer than the particular time interval. Video capture is stopped based on a subsequent user interface activity. The user interface activities may comprise detecting actions based on the same type of physical manipulation of the single user input.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Richard E. Marlin, Michael J. Mathias, Kristian D. Diakov

Patent number: 10798289Abstract: A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both image and video capture, based on detecting a state change of the single user input element from a first state to a second state based on a detected user activity, and determining a duration of the second state. A first distinct signal indicating that an image capture is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being less than a time interval and a second distinct signal indicating that a video recording is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being greater than the time interval. The video recording is captured until a state change of the single user input element from the second state to the first state is detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Snap, Inc.Inventors: Richard E. Marlin, Michael J. Mathias, Kristian D. Diakov

Patent number: 10027882Abstract: A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both image and video capture, based on detecting a state change of the single user input element from a first state to a second state based on a detected user activity, and determining a duration of the second state. An image from the image sensor is stored based on the duration of the second state being less than a time interval, and a video recording is captured based on the duration of the second state being greater than the time interval. The video recording is captured until a state change of the single user input element from the second state to the first state is detected.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Richard E.

Patent number: 6192981Abstract: A coiled tubing hanger assembly for supporting coiled tubing in a well including, as a first element, a mechanically-assisted slip assembly characterized by multiple slip segments inserted in a tapered slip bowl located in the midsection of a coiled tubing head. The conical slips are constrained to move in concert in the tapered throat of the tubing head midsection by means of a slip retainer ring and rest on a rack cylinder slidably positioned in the bore of the midsection beneath the slips. The rack cylinder is typically fitted with lands and grooves that engage a pinion gear attached to a slip-operating mechanism to facilitate manually raising and lowering the rack cylinder and the slips together, causing the slip teeth to selectively engage and disengage the segment of coiled tubing extending through the slips and the bore of the rack cylinder, into the well.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: True Turn Machine, Inc.Inventors: Lee J.
