Publication number: 20240144417Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method for generating an image comprising a graphical representation. The method includes determining a transformation relationship for a unit cell of a graphical representation of an original image. The transformation relationship is based on position information of grid vertices of the unit cell of the original image graphical representation and position information of grid vertices of a unit cell of a reference grid arrangement of the image to be generated. The method further includes determining position information of a one or more pixels of the unit cell of the original image graphical representation based on the transformation relationship. The method further includes applying data information sampled at the one or more pixels of the unit cell of the original image graphical representation to one or more pixels of the unit cell of the reference grid arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Simon ROVDER, Martin HERMAN, Robert HERMAN, Viktor JURÁŠEK, Timotej PALUŠ

Patent number: 11970992Abstract: An acoustic core may include an array of resonant cells configured as a plurality of resonant cell groups. The resonant cell groups may include a plurality of resonant cells configured as a partitioned resonant cell that include a converging resonant cell and a diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell and the diverging resonant cell may be defined by a plurality of cell walls integrally formed with one another and a partition integrally formed with the plurality of cell walls. The partition may at least partially delimit the converging resonant cell from the diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell may define an upper resonant space delimited by the partition and a top face of the array of resonant cells. The diverging resonant cell may define a lower resonant space delimited by the partition and a bottom face of the array of resonant cells.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Wendy Wenling Lin, David Herman, Trevor Howard Wood, Nikolai N. Pastouchenko, Kishore Ramakrishnan, Timothy Richard DePuy, Robert William Davidoff

Publication number: 20240115952Abstract: Methods for managing non-player characters and power centers in a computer game are based on character hierarchies and individualized correspondences between each character's traits or rank and events that involve other non-player characters or objects. Players may share power centers, character hierarchies, non-player characters, and related quests involving the shared objects with other players playing separate and unrelated game instances over a computer network, with the outcome of the quests reflected in different the games. Various configurations of game machines are used to implement the methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Michael de Plater, Christopher Herman Hoge, Robert Kenyon Hull Roberts, Daniel Paul Valerius, Rocky Albert Newton, Kevin Leslie Stephens

Patent number: 11786121Abstract: Systems and methods for use in measuring sympathetic nervous system activity or blood vessel autoregulation corrected for sympathetic activity. The choroid in the human eye is imaged and, using the resulting image, the vascular perfusion density (VPD) in the choroid is measured. VPD provides a measurement that is directly related to sympathetic nervous system activity. The effect of stimuli on sympathetic nervous system activity can be measured by comparing pre-stimuli VPD measurements with post-stimuli measurements. Quantifying VPD can be performed by determining pixel density within specific areas of the choroid image. Altered sympathetic nervous system activity can be detected in a subject by comparing that subject's VPD measurements to baseline VPD measurements from healthy individuals. Blood vessel autoregulation can be measured by imaging changes in other blood vessels in the eye and correcting with choroid VPD measurements of sympathetic activity.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Inventors: Richard Wilson, Nicholas Jendzjowsky, Robert Herman, Willis Tsai, Fiona Costello, Craig Steinback

Patent number: 10444985Abstract: Touchscreen-enabled devices are provided to display images of either real or virtual environments, the devices having user interfaces including a graphical overlay laid over the images for navigating the environments. The device can interpret gestures made by the user on the touchscreen as commands, and the graphical overlay guides the user as to where to make the gestures to achieve intended maneuvers such as translations of the point of view and rotations of the point of view within the displayed environment. The graphical overlay can comprise only a single symbol, and gestures that originate within the area of the display marked by the symbol are differentiated from those gestures originating from outside of the symbol, where the differentiated gestures control translation and rotation, respectively. This allows for one-finger navigation of the environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: RESCAN, INC.Inventors: Botond Bognar, Robert Herman, Adam Croston
