Patent №: 12056182 (August 6, 2024) – Object recognition based image overlays.
Systems and methods for distributing photo filters based on object location in an image are described. A system detects an image capture on a client device, identifies an object and its location in the image, finds an image overlay matching the object’s criteria and location, and provides the overlay to the client device.
Peter Speier
Research Professional at Siemens Healthineers.
Patent №: 12055614 (August 6, 2024) – Characterizing a motion of an object.
A method for characterizing object motion involves emitting a reference signal and generating receiver coil signals. A computing unit determines a motion signal from these signals, computes a correlation coefficient, and finds a reference correlation coefficient using a reference map. The motion signal is corrected based on these coefficients.
Norman Arnold Turnquist
Mechanical Engineer with a background in turbomachinery including steam turbines, centrifugal pumps, wind turbines, rotor dynamics, static and dynamic seals, and bearings.
Has led projects for the GE Steam Turbine, Gas Turbine, and Wind businesses. Has also led externally funded projects for NASA and the US Dept. of Energy.
Patent №: 12055059 (August 6, 2024) – Windage cover that covers fasteners coupling a ring gear assembly to an output shaft.
A method for characterizing object motion involves emitting a reference signal and generating receiver coil signals. A computing unit determines a motion signal from these signals, computes a correlation coefficient, and finds a reference correlation coefficient using a reference map. The motion signal is corrected based on these coefficients.
Ramanathan Muthiah
Senior Technologist at Western Digital | IP Enthusiast | Storage Systems and Firmware.
Patent №: 12056045 (August 6, 2024) – Scratchpad cache for gaming and IoT hosts.
A data storage device optimizes scratchpad memory use in NVM. A controller allocates NVM as scratchpad memory, processes commands, stores data, and disables L2P mapping updates across power cycles. It updates the L2P mapping table with different data lengths for other NVM locations, ensuring efficient management by considering data alignment, L2P granularity, and response differences.
