Patent number: 11589108Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving first content at a content-presentation device and presenting the first content, the first content comprising a first audio-content component. The content-presentation device may receive second content comprising a second audio-content component. The content-presentation device may determine a switch time at which to switch from presenting the first content to presenting the second content. During a first time interval prior to the switch time and ending at the switch time, the volume of the first audio-content component may be decreased to zero. At the switch time, the content-presentation device may switch from presenting the first content to presenting the second content. During a second time interval beginning at the switch time and ending at a second time after the switch time, the volume of the second audio-content component may be increased from zero to a non-zero volume level.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: ROKU, INC.Inventors: Andrew Laurence Ashbacher, Steven Michael Cormie, Stefanos Christakis Liassides, Matthew George Grover, Matthew Simon Pearce

Publication number: 20220360840Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a content-management system and from a content-presentation device, a request for supplemental content, such as a replacement advertisement. The content-management system may then determine a technical characteristic of the content-presentation device and select supplemental content based at least in part on at least the determined technical characteristic of the content-presentation device. The content-management system may then cause the selected supplemental content to be transmitted to the content-presentation device to facilitate the content-presentation device performing a content modification operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Matthew George Grover, Stefanos Christakis Liassides, Matthew Simon Pearce

Publication number: 20210108439Abstract: The present application relates to an automotive accessory fabric. The fabric includes an inner layer and an outer layer adjacent the inner layer. The stitching defines a visible pattern on the outer layer. The pattern includes pattern elements with each pattern element having lines extending in at least three directions. Advantageously, the lines extending in at least three directions may provide increased visual contrast when compared with elements having stitching lines extending less than three directions. Accordingly, an automotive tent incorporating the fabric may be more easily located at night when a camper discerns the visual contrast by firelight or torchlight.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Simon Pearce, Justin Montesalvo

Patent number: 10100742Abstract: A helicopter engine collector includes an external longitudinal wall and two closed end walls, a longitudinal symmetry axis inclined ascendingly, couplings configured to be connected to purge drains, and a connection connected to a gas ejection pipe and connected to the bottom end wall. The collector also includes, in its internal space, a chamber with its symmetry axis substantially parallel to the axis of the collector. The chamber includes a longitudinal wall and two transverse end walls. The chamber is connected to the purge coupling of the injection wheel via a radial connection emerging on its longitudinal wall, the symmetry axis of the chamber being inclined, with respect to the horizontal reference ground when the helicopter is in a ground position, by a reference angle such that this axis is situated parallel to the reference ground when the helicopter is in an acceleration phase. The collector prevents formation of fumes.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINESInventors: Simon Pearce, Bernard Lavie-Cambot, Hubert Moebs

Patent number: 7116335Abstract: A texturing system for use in a three-dimensional imaging system comprises a memory (22) for storing mip-map data for use in texturing an image. A controller (24) retrieves from the memory the mip-map data required and this data is stored in a cache (30). A lower-level mip-map generator (36) generates portions of the mip-map which is next below, in the hierarchical series, the mip-map of which portions are held in the cache. A trilinear interpolator (34) interpolates one output texel from input texels from the two mip-map levels. The texture data is represented by compressed codes. The lower-level mip-map generator (36) interpolates on the compressed code values.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Imagination Technologies LimitedInventors: Simon Pearce, Simon Fenney
