| 20090228373 | APPLICATIONS WITH INTEGRATED CAPTURE - Embodiments include a system for integrating capture software functionality into other software applications including computer aided design (CAD) application, search application, database management application, email applications, network publishing applications, collaboration applications, copying and facsimile applications, manufacturing applications and similar programs. A user may utilize any of these applications to initiate a capture of an image or model. The applications may include an integrated capture functionality or message system to communicate with a capture application to initiate a capture. A separate or integrated conversion application may automatically be invoked to convert and return the image or model to the requesting application. | 09-10-2009 |
| 20100069117 | USB enabled mobile phone handset - A mobile phone handset or handheld device with a connector that enables a direct connection with another device without the need for a separate cable. The connector can be a universal serial bus (USB) connector or similar connector. The connector can move between a stowed position within the housing of the mobile phone handset and a deployed positions where it protrudes from the mobile phone handset. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100141960 | DIGITIZER USING PLURAL CAPTURE METHODS TO IMAGE FEATURES OF 3-D OBJECTS - A method and apparatus to digitize three-dimensional objects. A projection assembly is retained in fixed relation to an imaging assembly. The projection assembly projects a fixed gradient light pattern into a focal zone of the imaging assembly. The imaging assembly integrates the illumination over time such that the fixed gradient reveals the features of the three dimensional object. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100205537 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO SHARE HIGH QUALITY IMAGES IN A TELECONFERENCE - A teleconference system providing high quality image sharing superior to conventional videoconferencing. Images can be inserted into communications content automatically from a connected imaging device. The resolution of the capture device may exceed the local display resolution, and the higher resolution images are transmitted to the communications destination. The system may automatically add the images to content upon capture, and infer the insertion point or destination based on context. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100215252 | HAND HELD PORTABLE THREE DIMENSIONAL SCANNER - Embodiments of the invention may include a scanning device to scan three dimensional objects. The scanning device may generate a three dimensional model. The scanning device may also generate a texture map for the three dimensional model. Techniques utilized to generate the model or texture map may include tracking scanner position, generating depth maps of the object and generation composite image of the surface of the object. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100259058 | ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MOBILE OFFICE WITH LOCATION BASED ADVERTISING - A vehicle for use on surface streets providing a viable working environment that allows at least 6 passengers to conduct work during commuting time. The configuration of each individual workspace is sufficiently large and separate from other passengers to serve as an effective alternative workplace until the passenger has arrived at their destination. Each workstation may also be equipped with computing and communications equipment to enhance productivity. The vehicle also may incorporate on one or more of its internal or external surfaces a dynamic display screen that displays advertising selected based, at least in part, on the then-current location of the vehicle as determined by a geographic location system such as GPS satellite navigation. The vehicle may also be electrically powered to further reduce its environmental impact. | 10-14-2010 |
