Patent number: 11420394Abstract: A 3D printing system comprises a 3D printing arrangement operable to print a 3D object, a processing unit operable to analyse images captured by an infra-red camera to detect the state of the object being printed, a substrate upon which the 3D printed object is adhered during the 3D printing process; and an infra-red light source arranged to illuminate the substrate in such a manner so as to cause total internal reflection of the infra-red light to occur in the substrate when the 3D object is not adhered to the substrate, wherein the infra-red camera is arranged to view the surface of the substrate opposite to that which the 3D object is printed upon so that the camera may capture images of the 3D object when it is correctly adhered to the substrate; and the processing unit is operable to analyses the captured images to detect whether the 3D object is correctly adhered to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Robert Christopher Starkey, Rohan Pankaj Bangdiwala

Patent number: 11202004Abstract: A video server includes a video encoder to encode video data representing panoramic video content in which the panoramic video content has a greater field of view than a displayable region at a client device, the video encoder being configured to encode spatial regions within the video content at different respective encoding qualities in dependence upon track data indicating, for temporal positions with respect to the panoramic video content, a preferred viewing region within the panoramic video content at those temporal positions, so that the preferred viewing region is encoded at a higher encoding quality than another region of the panoramic video content.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Phillip Rogers, Quoc Dat Nguyen, Rohan Pankaj Bangdiwala, David Peter Woodhouse, Anthony Godar
