Publication number: 20230376699Abstract: This document describes methods and systems of on-device real-time translation for media content on a mobile electronic device. The translation is managed and executed by an operating system of the electronic device rather than within a particular application executing on the electronic device. The operating system can translate media content, including visual content displayed on a display device of the electronic device or audio content output by the electronic device. Because the translation is at the OS level, the translation can be implemented, automatically or based on a user input, across a variety of (including all) applications and a variety of content on the electronic device to provide a consistent translation experience, which is provided via a system UI overlay that displays translated text as captions to video content or as a replacement to on-screen text.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Brandon Charles Barbello, Shenaz Zack, Tim Wantland, Khondokar Sami Iqram, Nikola Radicevic, Prasad Modali, Jeffrey Robert Pitman, Svetoslav Ganov, Qi Ge, Jonathan D.

Patent number: 10893181Abstract: An integrated color imaging system has a housing with an objective lens, photocathode and image intensifier. The image intensifier has radiation sensitive sensors and a phosphor screen. A rotatable first filter wheel is located between the objective lens and the photocathode. The first filter wheel can include first channels selectively positionable in an optical path of the image, and at least one of the first channels is clear and unfiltered. A rotatable second filter wheel can be located inside the housing between the phosphor screen and an eyepiece lens of the housing. The second filter wheel can include second channels selectively positionable in the optical path between the phosphor screen and the eyepiece lens, and at least one of the second channels is clear and unfiltered. The clear and unfiltered channels of the first and second filter wheels can be selectively aligned and held in the optical path.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Chromatra, LLCInventors: Peter W.

Patent number: 8517163Abstract: A system for handling coins employs a front end coin acceptor and validator that feeds a sorter mechanism. The sorter mechanism utilizes a substantially horizontal track module to load coins by denomination into an arrangement of bins. The coins are ejected by means of a solenoid onto the track module that provides a path according to the denomination of the coin into the proper bin.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2006Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Telequip CorporationInventors: Victor A. Quattrini, Robert Pitman, Paul Stump, Jack J. Bisson, Jeff Janway, Hamlin Peterke, Don Stanley

Publication number: 20050176361Abstract: An assembly for manually loading coins in a coin canister of coin dispenser includes a two-stage funnel mounted on a manifold for sliding motion. The funnel has an exit that aligns with tubular extensions of the manifold and the extensions align with the tubular coin stack holders of the canister. The funnel slides from stack to stack according to the size of the coin being loaded. The funnel is constructed with an internal baffle that divides the funnel passage into upper and lower stages to meter the flow of coins through the funnel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2004Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: Victor Quattrini, Robert Pitman, Paul Stump, William Lemieux
