Nicholas Atkinson Kramer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11983823
    Abstract: Examples of wearable systems and methods can use multiple inputs (e.g., gesture, head pose, eye gaze, voice, totem, and/or environmental factors (e.g., location)) to determine a command that should be executed and objects in the three-dimensional (3D) environment that should be operated on. The wearable system can detect when different inputs converge together, such as when a user seeks to select a virtual object using multiple inputs such as eye gaze, head pose, hand gesture, and totem input. Upon detecting an input convergence, the wearable system can perform a transmodal filtering scheme that leverages the converged inputs to assist in properly interpreting what command the user is providing or what object the user is targeting.

  • Patent number: 11978159
    Abstract: A cross reality system that provides an immersive user experience by storing persistent spatial information about the physical world that one or multiple user devices can access to determine position within the physical world and that applications can access to specify the position of virtual objects within the physical world. Persistent spatial information enables users to have a shared virtual, as well as physical, experience when interacting with the cross reality system. Further, persistent spatial information may be used in maps of the physical world, enabling one or multiple devices to access and localize into previously stored maps, reducing the need to map a physical space before using the cross reality system in it. Persistent spatial information may be stored as persistent coordinate frames, which may include a transformation relative to a reference orientation and information derived from images in a location corresponding to the persistent coordinate frame.

  • Publication number: 20240044756
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for identifying molds or bacteria contained in a sample are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a device can be used to perform analysis of a sample and identifying molds or bacteria contained within. The device may include a sample collection tool for collecting and holding a sample. The device may also include a sample receptacle, which may have an agar portion disposed within the sample receptacle and an inlet port. There may be a binary tree of medicines distributed within the agar portion. The inlet port may be configured to receive an end of a sample collection tool, wherein full insertion of the sample collection tool through the inlet port causes the sample to be placed in contact with the agar portion. Mold or bacteria from the collected sample may grow or attempt to grow throughout the agar, through the binary tree, and visual analysis of the growth paths may allow the mold or bacteria to be identified and the best combination of medicines to be determined.

  • Publication number: 20240013912
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices associated with telehealth communication platforms are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a user of the platform may designate a condition that can be used to assign the user to a pool of supervising users. User status data from user tracking devices can be collected and monitored by the platform to detect any abnormalities or indications associated with the user-designated condition, which may indicate a level of urgency and that the user requires an intervention. A communication can then be immediately established between the user and a supervising user selected from the assigned pool based on availability.

  • Publication number: 20230121265
    Abstract: As one example of remote health testing or diagnostics using a personal device and remote image quality verification, a user may be prompted to take an image, for example, of a reference card, using a camera of his or her personal user device. The image of the reference card can be uploaded by the personal user device to a server on the cloud. The server can be configured to evaluate the image to determine whether the image is already of sufficient quality (for being used in medical diagnostics) or the image can be processed using designated processing techniques and parameters to produce a processed image of sufficient quality. Finally, the server can respond to the user device with an indication of the determination result.
