Refael Zabdi WHYTE 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: 11849223
    Abstract: In one aspect the invention provides a time of flight camera data processing system incorporating a management processor structure capable of communicating configuration information to and/or from a waveform generator used by the time of flight camera. A depth circuit structure is also provided which is configured to receive raw image frame data supplied by a sensor of the time of flight camera, the raw image frame data defining an array of pixels. The depth circuit structure is configured to translate the raw image frame data of one or more pixels into complex components, and the management processor structure being configured to communicate configuration information and/or to issue operational instructions to the depth circuit structure. The depth circuit structure is arranged to output distance and amplitude information derived from at least one received raw image data frame.

  • Patent number: 10002588
    Abstract: A display device is described that comprises an electronic paper display but that does not include a power source that is capable of providing sufficient power to update the electronic paper display. Instead, the electronic paper display can only be updated when receiving external power via a digital data and power bus. The bus also provides pixel data for content to be displayed on the electronic paper display and at least one externally generated bias voltage level for the electronic paper display. The display device further comprises a processor that configured to drive the electronic paper display.

  • Patent number: 9874638
    Abstract: A time of flight camera system resolves the direct path component or the multi-path component of modulated radiation reflected from a target. The camera system includes a time of flight transmitter arranged to transmit modulated radiation at a target, and at least one pattern application structure operating between the transmitter and the target, the pattern application structure operating to apply at least one structured light pattern to the modulated transmitter radiation, and an image sensor configured to measure radiation reflected from a target. The time of flight camber is arranged to resolve from the measurements received the contribution of direct source reflection radiation reflected from the target.

  • Publication number: 20160275906
    Abstract: A system provides a content service arranged to provide content for display on a display device which comprises an electronic paper display but which does not include a power source which is capable of providing sufficient power to update the electronic paper display. Instead, power is only provided to update the electronic paper display when in direct contact with a printer device. The power is provided via a contact based conductive digital data and power bus which also provides pixel data for content to be displayed on the electronic paper display. The display device further comprises a processing element which configured to drive the electronic paper display. The content service receives an identifier for a display device or printer device and identifies content based on the identifier received. The identified content is then transmitted to a printer device for display on a display device.
