Filed:

Oct 10, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/269379
Inventors:

Elmer Samov Cajigas - Vancouver WA, US
Wade Antoine Powell - Herzliya Pituach, IL
Rick Minoru Tanaka - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:

B41J 2165
B41J 1122
F16C 1700
F16C 3310
F16N 100
US Classification:

347 22, 400354, 184 5, 184100, 384 13

A lubricating system includes a flexible, nominally planar lubricating structure including first and second end regions and a central region positioned therebetween. The lubricating structure is impregnated with a lubricating fluid and is adapted for securement to a printhead carriage only at said first and second end regions.

Compliant Carriage Adjustment Method And Apparatus For Setting Default Printhead-To-Media- Spacing In A Printer
view source
US Patent:

20030039500, Feb 27, 2003
Filed:

Aug 27, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/940295
Inventors:

Richard Kelley - Vancouver WA, US
David Burton - Vancouver WA, US
Wade Powell - Vancouver WA, US
Elmer Cajigas - Vancouver WA, US
International Classification:

B41J025/308
US Classification:

400/059000, 400/055000, 347/008000
Abstract:

The present invention provides an apparatus for adjusting and fixing default printhead-to-media spacing in a printer having a frame and a printhead-carrying carriage, the apparatus including an elongate, laterally extending carriage rod along which the carriage moves during printing, and selectively adjustable and fixable compliant structure mounting the rod on the frame, and operable to effect positional and fixable adjustment of the rod relative to the frame to establish a desired default printhead-to-media spacing.

Partially Transparent Antenna
view source
US Patent:

20130059532, Mar 7, 2013
Filed:

Sep 7, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/227257
Inventors:

Elmer S. Cajigas - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04B 5/00
H01Q 1/24
US Classification:

455 411, 343702
Abstract:

A partially-transparent antenna is described that may be utilized to wirelessly transmit or receive data. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes an antenna and one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware. The antenna is formed from a material that is at least partially transparent. The one or more modules are communicatively coupled to the antenna to use the antenna to wirelessly transmit or receive data.

Recalibration Of A Flexible Mixed Reality Device
view source
US Patent:

20130120224, May 16, 2013
Filed:

Nov 11, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/294825
Inventors:

Elmer S. Cajigas - Sammamish WA, US
Paul M. O'Brien - Sammamish WA, US
Andras Tantos - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:

G09G 5/00
US Classification:

345 8
Abstract:

The technology provides embodiments for recalibration of outward facing cameras supported by a see-through, head mounted, mixed reality display system having a flexible portion between see-through displays for the eyes. Each outward facing camera has a fixed spatial relationship with a respective or corresponding see-through display positioned to be seen through by a respective eye. For front facing cameras, the fixed spatial relationship allows a predetermined mapping between positions on an image sensor of each camera and positions on the respective display. The mapping may be used to register a position of a virtual object to a position of a real object. A change in a first flexible spatial relationship between the outward facing cameras can be automatically detected. A second spatial relationship between the cameras is determined. A registration of a virtual object to a real object may be updated based on the second spatial relationship.

Customized Head-Mounted Display Device

US Patent:

20130321925, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:

May 30, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/484024
Inventors:

Joel Jacobs - Seattle WA, US
Elmer Cajigas - Sammamish WA, US
Nicolas Denhez - Seattle WA, US
Paul Bosveld - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:

G02B 27/01
B23P 11/00
US Classification:

359630, 29428
Abstract:

A head-mounted display device includes a modular frame assembly including one or more different components. Each of the different components may be selected from a component set including at least two or more differently-sized versions of each different component. The head-mounted display device also includes a modular see-through display sub-assembly including one or more mountings for selectably coupling the modular see-through display sub-assembly to the modular frame assembly. The modular see-through display sub-assembly may be configured to couple to any combination of differently-sized versions of different components of the modular frame assembly.

Closely Spaced Antennas Isolated Through Different Modes

US Patent:

20140266937, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:

Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:

13/829789
Inventors:

Elmer S. Cajigas - Sammamish WA, US
Paul O'Brien - Sammamish WA, US
Ronald B. Smith - Woodinville WA, US
Pia Santelices - Redmond WA, US
International Classification:

H01Q 21/28
US Classification:

343726, 343725
Abstract:

Multi-antenna systems, including mobile devices having multiple antennas, are provided herein. A first antenna and a second antenna are operable at two or more of the same non-overlapping communication frequency bands. The first antenna and the second antenna are closely spaced and have different fundamental modes of operation such that the first antenna and second antenna are substantially isolated at the two or more non-overlapping communication frequency bands. The first antenna and second antenna having different fundamental modes can be a linear antenna, such as a monopole, dipole, PIFA, or PILA, and an aperture antenna, such as a slot or loop antenna.
