Patent number: 10921782Abstract: Methods for control of post-design free form deposition processes or joining processes are described that utilize machine learning algorithms to improve fabrication outcomes. The machine learning algorithms use real-time object property data from one or more sensors as input, and are trained using training data sets that comprise: i) past process simulation data, past process characterization data, past in-process physical inspection data, or past post-build physical inspection data, for a plurality of objects that comprise at least one object that is different from the object to be fabricated; and ii) training data generated through a repetitive process of randomly choosing values for each of one or more input process control parameters and scoring adjustments to process control parameters as leading to either undesirable or desirable outcomes, the outcomes based respectively on the presence or absence of defects detected in a fabricated object arising from the process control parameter adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: RELATIVITY SPACE, INC.Inventors: Edward Mehr, Tim Ellis, Jordan Noone

Publication number: 20210014477Abstract: Embodiments provide a camera design (e.g., an eyeball camera) that mimics a human eye in geometry, optical performance and/or motion. The eyeball camera adopts the same cornea and pupil geometry from the human eye, and has the iris and pupil configured with multiple texture, color or diameter options. The resolution of the eyeball camera is designed to match the acuity of typical 20/20 human vision, and focus is adjusted from 0 to 4 diopters. A pair of eyeball cameras are mounted independently on two hexapods to simulate the human eye gaze and vergence. The perceived virtual and real world are calibrated and evaluated based on eye conditions like pupil location and gaze using the eyeball cameras. The eyeball camera serves as a bridge to combine the data from spatial computing like eye tracking, 3D geometry of the digital world, display color accuracy/uniformity, and display optical quality (sharpness, contrast, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Zhiheng Jia, Jeffrey Todd Daiker, Tim Ellis, Xiao Li, Jeremy A.

Patent number: 10732590Abstract: A method for energy management is described. In one embodiment, an aspect of a dwelling is monitored. The monitored aspect of the dwelling is compared to an energy policy to determine a deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from a setting of the energy policy. A notification is sent to an occupant, the notification comprising the deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from the setting of the energy policy.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy B.

Patent number: 10338439Abstract: This application is directed to detecting touch events using a display pixel array. The display pixel array includes display pixels each of which is disposed between a display electrode and a common electrode. For touch sensing, a processing device drives the subset of common electrodes with an integration voltage that varies by a voltage variation at a predetermined slew rate. The processing device also drives a subset of display electrodes corresponding to the subset of common electrodes in a synchronous manner, thereby reducing an impact of parasitic capacitance associated with the subset of common electrodes. Each of the subset of display electrodes is driven with an adjusted display voltage that varies by the voltage variation at the predetermined slew rate. While driving the subsets of common and display electrodes, a capacitive sense signal associated with the subset of common electrodes is measured at an output of a capacitance sense circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: PARADE TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Denis Ellis, Maksym Prybytko, Tim McCarthy
