Gil Thieberger

Gil Thieberger is a prolific inventor and patent holder from Kiryat Tivon, IL. He has an impressive 119 patents to his name, with his latest patents focusing on innovative solutions for facial expression detection and smartglasses design.

One of Gil Thieberger's recent patents is for a robust photosensor-based facial expression detector. This system is designed to detect facial expressions while accounting for interferences on the face, such as hair, perspiration, makeup, and skin infections. It includes a head-mounted device with light sources that emit light towards a first region on a user's face, and discrete photosensors that take measurements of reflections of the light from the first region. A head-mounted camera captures images of a second region on the face, and a computer then calculates the extent of interferences on the face and detects facial expressions based on the measurements of the reflections.

Another one of Gil Thieberger's patents is for smartglasses with bendable temples. This novel design for untethered smartglasses features wireless connectivity and electronic components and wiring mounted in a way that allows at least a portion of the temples to be bent around the ear for improved fit. The smartglasses include a front element that supports lenses and two temples, with at least one temple including electronic components and wiring, as well as a bendable portion to improve comfort.

Gil Thieberger has worked for companies such as Affectomatics Ltd. and Facense Ltd., where he collaborated with coworkers such as Ari M Frank and Arie Tzvieli. His patents demonstrate his ability to think outside the box and create innovative solutions to real-world problems.
