Publication number: 20230419627Abstract: A modeling system receives, via a user interface of a device, a selection of a three-dimensional shape that includes a plurality of faces. The modeling system generates a virtual object by: receiving an image showing a portion of a real-world object, determining an area of the image that corresponds to the portion of the real-world object, associating, in the virtual object, the area of the image with a face of the plurality of faces of the three-dimensional shape, and associating, in the virtual object or in metadata of the virtual object, properties of the three-dimensional shape with the virtual object. The virtual modeling system presents the virtual object in the user interface by at least showing the area of the image superimposed on the face and showing the properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Ryan James Favale, Erin Frederick Clark, Joseph Jon Barnard, Brandon Scott Austin, Philip Ashton Harlow, Jay Zeng, Jeffrey S. Blazier

Publication number: 20230419628Abstract: A modeling system receives, in association with generating a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reset, a selection of a 3D virtual object. The modeling system presents, at a user interface, the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual reset at a first position. The modeling system receives, via the user interface, an edit to the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual reset. The modeling system updates the presentation of the 3D virtual reset by showing the edit. The modeling system stores the 3D virtual reset by including, in the 3D virtual reset, information about the 3D virtual object and information about the edit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Ryan James Favale, Erin Frederick Clark, Joseph Jon Barnard, Brandon Scott Austin, Philip Ashton Harlow, Jay Zeng, Jeffrey S.

Publication number: 20230368645Abstract: A stationary communication unit is adapted to be mounted to a headwall of a healthcare facility and forward messages between a patient support apparatus and a nurse call system. The unit includes first and second transceivers. The first transceiver may use two different communication protocols and forward audio signals from a nurse call system to the patient support apparatus (and vice versa) using a first one of the communication protocols, and emit a beacon signal using the second communication protocol. The beacon signal is adapted to be detected by electronic devices positioned in the room. The second transceiver sends a first identifier to the patient support apparatus and the first transceiver sends a second identifier to any electronic devices positioned in the room. The communication unit may also forward sensor readings to the patient support apparatus and/or to a hospital network, either directly or via a mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2021Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu, Annie Désaulniers, Jerald A.

Publication number: 20190247959Abstract: A part marking system comprising a part marking assembly having a marking conveyor, a position verification member and a marking structure. The marking conveyor includes a first end and a second end. The position verification member is associated with the marking conveyor and is structurally configured to determine the position of a part on the marking conveyor. The marking structure includes a robotic arm positioned in proximity to the marking conveyor, that has a laser marking member at a working end thereof. The laser marking member is structurally configured to laser etch indicia onto a part on the marking conveyor. The robotic arm is structurally configured to move the laser marking member to the proper orientation based on the position of the part, to, in turn, laser etch indicia onto a part while the part is on the marking conveyor and moving on the marking conveyor between the first end and the second end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2018Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventors: Scott Austin, Philip Peloso

Patent number: 9071967Abstract: Various embodiments enable devices to share network authentication credentials or other information. For example, a computing device authorized to access a wireless network can be used to manage access to the wireless network, such as by modifying, sharing, or creating a password to access the wireless network. A peer-to-peer connection can be established between the authorized computing device and at least one other computing device (e.g., a guest computing device). Upon establishing the peer-to-peer connection between the devices, a service, application, or system component operating on each device can be used to share network authentication credentials between the devices. For example, the user of the authorized device can cause to be transmitted network authentication credentials to a guest computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Damon Michael Davies, Mike Kan, Scott Austin Haynie, Aidan Nicholas Low, David MacGregor Foltz
