Filed:

Apr 27, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/430067

Inventors:

Perry A. Macdonald - Culver City CA
Lawrence E. Larson - Bethesda MD
Michael G. Case - Thousand Oaks CA
Mehran Matloubian - Encino CA
Mary Y. Chen - Agoura CA

Assignee:

Hughes Aircraft Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

H01P 500
H01P 308

US Classification:

333247

Abstract:

A monolithic microwave integrated circuit is formed by positioning a distributed, transmission-line network over a microwave-device structure. The ground plane of the transmission-line network adjoins an interconnect system of the microwave-device structure and signal lines of the transmission-line network are adapted to communicate with the microwave-device structure through orifices of the ground plane. The invention facilitates the use of low-cost silicon-based transistors in monolithic microwave integrated circuits.

G06F 17/50

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided herein for delivering an appropriate design file for printing of a three-dimensional object based on a determined printer capability. The determined printer capability may be, for example, the capabilities of a printer that is operatively linked with the user equipment. The determined printer capability may also or alternatively correspond to, for example, one or more entries in a user profile. In particular, a selection of an object in a video may be received at the user equipment. A set of design files associated with that object is identified, where each design file describes a three-dimensional representation of the object. A design file from the set of design files may be selected based on the determined printer capability. A request may be transmitted to the printer to print the three-dimensional representation of the object described by the selected design file.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
B29C 67/00

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided herein for sourcing a design file for three-dimensional printing of an object presented within a video. These methods and systems are provided by receiving a selection of an object, and generating a display including at least one of (1) a first selectable option to submit a design file describing a three-dimensional representation of the object, and (2) a second selectable option to access a design file describing a three-dimensional representation of the object submitted by another user. If the first selectable option is selected, the user's design file may be transmitted to a database for storage. If the second selectable option is selected, the design file that was submitted by another user (or previously submitted by the same user) may be retrieved from the database.

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided herein for recommending an object of a plurality of objects for 3D printing. These methods and systems are provided by way of identifying a set of objects presented within a video being viewed by a viewer. One object of the set of objects may be selected based on a user profile. For example, in a scene where a coffee mug and a toy figurine are presented, and the user watching the video including the scene is a child, the toy figurine might be selected because the child's user profile may reflect an affinity for toys, or because the child is too young to drink coffee. A design file describing a three-dimensional representation of the object might be retrieved, and a request may be transmitted to a printer to print the three-dimensional representation of the object.
