Publication number: 20210281742Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a video camera, a detection device, a tracking device, a display, and a processor. The video camera is to capture a video image of a plurality of documents. The detection device is to detect the plurality of documents in a frame of the video image. The tracking device is to track each one of the plurality of documents that is detected in a series of frames of the video image. The display is to generate a visual indicator around each one of the plurality of documents in the video image that is displayed. The processor is in communication with the video camera, the detection device, the tracking device, and the display to control execution of the video camera, the detection device, the tracking device, and the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2018Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ricardo Farias Bidart Piccoli, Ricardo Ribani, Vinicius Lafourcade, Joao Francisco Carvalho de Melo, Rafael Borges

Patent number: 10740539Abstract: Example implementations relate to page structure adjustments. The system may convert a binary tree representation of a plurality of content items to an initial page structure that includes a plurality of regions. The system may determine a region metric of each of the plurality of regions. The system may determine an item metric of each of the plurality of content items rendered on a respective region of the plurality of regions. The system may calculate an error associated with the initial page structure based on the region metric and the item metric for each of the plurality of regions. The system may generate a plurality of adjusted page structures and calculate an error associated with each adjusted page structure. The system may select an adjusted page structure from the plurality of adjusted page structures based on the selected adjusted page structure being associated with an error below a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Dalmir Antonio da Silva, Leandro Hernandes Manica, Marcelo Rodrigues Correa, Matheus Mirapalheta Longaray, Ricardo Farias Bidart Piccoli

Publication number: 20180300297Abstract: Example implementations relate to page structure adjustments. The system may convert a binary tree representation of a plurality of content items to an initial page structure that includes a plurality of regions. The system may determine, from an initial rendering, a region metric of each of the plurality of regions of the initial page structure. The system may determine, from the initial rendering, an item metric of each of the plurality of content items rendered on a respective region of the plurality of regions. The system may calculate an error associated with the initial page structure based on the region metric and the item metric for each of the plurality of initially rendered regions. The system may generate a plurality of adjusted page structures and calculate, from a corresponding rendering of each, an error associated with each adjusted page structure of the plurality of adjusted page structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Dalmir Antonio da Silva, Leandro Hernandes Manica, Marcelo Rodrigues Correa, Matheus Mirapalheta Longaray, Ricardo Farias Bidart Piccoli

Patent number: 9691311Abstract: A banner stand assembly. The banner stand assembly includes pair of horizontal members that are insertable through channels in a banner, a plurality of vertical members removably securable therebetween, and a plurality of triangular support members having a flexible central portion slidably and removably secured to the vertical members. The support members are angularly adjustable via movement along the vertical members. The flexible central portion allows the angle of the banner to be adjusted and allows the banner stand assembly to maintain even footing on sloped terrain. The support members are individually height adjustable so that the banner stand assembly can support a banner on varied terrain.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Inventor: Ricardo Farias

Patent number: 9348801Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system and method for automatic page layout. One automatic page layout method includes dividing a plurality of ordered graphical items into groups, and bisecting a space into regions having a reading order corresponding to an order of the ordered graphical items, each region corresponding to one of the groups and being sized according to a first layout characteristic of the ordered graphical items of the region's corresponding group in proportion to a second layout characteristic of the plurality of ordered graphical items. An output is caused in which each region has been filled with that region's associated group of ordered graphical items.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignees: HP Brasil LTDA, Pontificia Universidads Catolica Do Rio Grande Do SulInventors: João Batista Sousade Oliveira, Isabel H. Manssour, Ricardo Farias B. Piccoli, Alexandre K. Seki, Mauricio S. Klein

Publication number: 20160083757Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the production of microbial glycolipids, mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL), from lignocellulosic carbon source. These processes are characterized in that the use of lignocellulosic materials for the production of a microbial glycolipids, MEL, comprising a fermentation preferably using fungi of the genus Pseudozyma or other microorganisms such as genetically modified fungi or bacteria. The processes for production of microbial glycolipids, MEL comprise three steps: pretreatment of lignocellulosic material; enzymatic hydrolysis; and fermentation. The enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation may take place sequentially or simultaneously with addition of exogenous enzymes or simultaneously with enzymes produced by the microorganism itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2014Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Cesar Simoes da FONSECA, Nuno Ricardo FARIA, Frederico Castelo Alves FERREIRA
