Publication number: 20210127059Abstract: A camera is disclosed. The camera includes an image sensor and a f-theta lens fixed relative to the image sensor. The f-theta lens is configured to direct object light from a scene onto the image sensor. An optical axis of the f-theta lens is offset from an optical center of the image sensor such that the image sensor is configured to capture a field of view having an angular bias relative to the optical axis of the f-theta lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Karlton David POWELL, Russell Irvin SANCHEZ, Michael Chia-Yin LIN, Rhishikesh Ashok SATHE

Patent number: 8818556Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a robot device including a model that controls a robot's task-related operations to perform tasks and user-engagement operations to interact with the robot. The model controls the operating states, including transitioning from an autonomous task state to an engaged state based on current context determined from various stimuli, e.g., information received via sensors of the robot and/or learned data. The robot may seek to engage the user, the user may seek to engage the robot, or the user and robot may meet by chance in which either may attempt to initiate the engagement.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Russell Irvin Sanchez, Malek M. Chalabi, Kordell B. Krauskopf

Patent number: 8620489Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a robot device including a computational intelligence system that can be coupled to/decoupled from different interchangeable mobility mechanisms at different times. The robot may operate with its intelligence portion detached from the mobility portion, whereby the intelligence portion may be easily to interact therewith out lifting the (typically dirty) mobility mechanism. The robot may operate according to a coupled state, a decoupled state, or in a transition state when being moved for purposes of coupling or decoupling.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Russell Irvin Sanchez, Efstathios Papaefstathiou

Patent number: 7849041Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, technologies for recognizing sequences of events or patterns of behavior, of predicting intent, need, objectives, purpose, aim, or the like, and responding to the predicted intent. Such technologies includes intent prediction and response (“IPR”) environments and systems, as well as methods for performing aspects IPR. Such technologies may aid in accomplishing tasks more efficiently or in reducing impediments whether they be physical, environmental, social, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott C. Forbes, Amit Mital, Russell Irvin Sanchez

Patent number: 7737895Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are generally related to an antenna device that includes a pass-through interface such as for a USB device. The antenna device is enclosed in a housing. The pass-through interface includes two ports. The housing is coupled to the pass-through interface body such that one of the ports is blocked by a blocking member when the housing is in a first position. The blocking member prevents impact damage to the blocked port, while also preventing dirt and dust from collecting. The blocking member is cleared from the opening of the blocked port when the housing is biased into a second position by inserting a connector. The blocking member automatically returns to the first position when the connector is removed from the port. Antenna performance is improved by automatically aligning the antenna away from the connector, which may otherwise degrade performance.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Russell Irvin Sanchez, Ferdinand Johannes van Engelen, Robert J. Furlow
