7097532, Aug 29, 2006
Filed:
Oct 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/966758

International Classification:
A63H 30/00
US Classification:
446175, 446219
Abstract:
A mobile device with color discrimination for producing one of a plurality of pre-determined physical actions when disposed on an action surface includes a body having a set of wheels and a third point of contact with the action surface; means for executing a physical action; a color detection module including a broad spectrum illumination source with a source lens, the illumination source for producing a spot of light on the action surface; a photodetector with a bandpass filter, the photodetector for receiving light reflected from the spot of light and passed through the bandpass filter; a second photodetector with a second bandpass filter, the second photodetector for receiving light reflected from the spot of light and passed through the second bandpass filter; an electronics module including comparator circuits in electronic communication with the photodetectors; and a microcircuit in electronic communication with the comparator circuits and with the means for executing a physical action.

Apparatus And Method For Sound Storage And Retrieval

View page
US Patent:
7333768, Feb 19, 2008
Filed:
May 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/160739
Inventors:
Judith Neely Coltman - Reading MA, US
John Gaewsky - Reading MA, US
International Classification:
G09B 5/04
G09B 5/00
G09B 5/06
G09B 5/02
US Classification:
434317, 434319, 235454
Abstract:
A system for the storage and retrieval of audio files includes an audio storage and retrieval device and a label with an encoded memory storage address. The audio storage and retrieval device includes a memory for storing a plurality of audio files where each stored audio file corresponds to a unique memory storage address, a decoder for reading an encoded memory storage address from the label, and a control module: i) in communication with the decoder for deriving the memory storage address corresponding to the encoded memory storage address and ii) in communication with the memory for retrieving an audio file corresponding to the memory storage address.

Audio Message Recorder With Flexible Control

View page
US Patent:
20090310760, Dec 17, 2009
Filed:
Jun 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/486737
Inventors:
Judith Neely Coltman - Reading MA, US
John Gaewsky - Reading MA, US
International Classification:
H04M 1/64
US Classification:
379 8807
Abstract:
An audio recorder comprises: a microphone for receiving analog audio signals; a removable memory cartridge for digitally storing audio message data entries; and a microcontroller for converting the analog audio signals to digital signals and storing the digital signals in the removable memory cartridge.

Electronic Flash Camera Having Reduced Cycle Time

View page
US Patent:
48871184, Dec 12, 1989
Filed:
Dec 27, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/289780
Inventors:
John P. Gaewsky - Reading MA
Assignee:
Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G03B 1505
G03B 1752
US Classification:
354413
Abstract:
A self-developing camera system having an electronic flash, a film transport and processing system including a motor, and a battery for supplying electrical power to the electronic flash and to the motor. The camera system further includes a control system that connects the battery to the electronic flash for charging purposes and to the motor simultaneously during processing of an exposed film unit as long as the battery voltage does not go below a level that would interfere with the motor's ability to properly drive the film transport system, thus reducing the overall camera cycle time.

Preflash Measurement Technique

View page
US Patent:
49981285, Mar 5, 1991
Filed:
Sep 29, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/414267
Inventors:
Judith N. Coltman - Reading MA
John P. Gaewsky - Reading MA
Jeffrey T. Gray - Boston MA
Assignee:
Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G03B 700
US Classification:
354415
Abstract:
An automatic exposure system for an electronic flash camera incorporates an arrangement for measuring the reflectivity of a scene illuminated by the electronic flash prior to exposure in order to determine certain photographic scene characteristics for use in controlling a subsequent photographic exposure, an arrangement that substantially reduces the complexity and energy consumption of the electronic flash system while improving the ability of the exposure control system to accurately determine these characteristics. The arrangement includes the pre-exposure firing of the electronic flash to illuminate a scene with a pulse of light for a short, fixed period of time. A reflection of this light pulse is integrated for a portion of this fixed period of time. The final integrated value of the reflected light is a measure of subject reflectivity. This integrated value is then employed to derive the desired photographic scene characteristics.

Shutter Mechanism Drive Having Reduced Mechanical Noise

View page
US Patent:
49722174, Nov 20, 1990
Filed:
Oct 27, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/428055
Inventors:
John P. Gaewsky - Reading MA
Assignee:
Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G03B 7097
G03B 914
US Classification:
3542351
Abstract:
A shutter mechanism actuated by a plunger type solenoid in an exposure control system for a reflex camera is provided with a solenoid drive control for reducing the subject-distracting mechanical noise that is normally generated when the solenoid plunger is driven into its fully retracted position in order to close shutter blades forming a portion of the shutter mechanism, immediately prior to an exposure interval. The solenoid drive control comprises a microcontroller and a blade encoder to indicate the degree of blade closure. Blade closure signals are routed to the microcontroller that, in response thereto, causes a reduction in the amount of solenoid actuating current delivered to the solenoid to thereby reduce the amount of solenoid drive and therefore the amount of mechanical noise that is generated when the solenoid plunger is driven into the fully retracted position.

Two Zone Infrared Ranging System

View page
US Patent:
45027730, Mar 5, 1985
Filed:
Jan 31, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/462669
Inventors:
John P. Gaewsky - Reading MA
Joseph E. Murray - Malden MA
Assignee:
Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G03B 300
US Classification:
354403
Abstract:
An economical dual zone active rangefinding system for a photographic camera operates upon the principle of triangulation without lateral displacement of either the radiation source or detector to provide an output signal indicative of whether the subject in the scene to be photographed is located in a select distance range from the photographic camera.

Electronic Flash Control System For Use In A Fixed Focus Lens Camera For Increasing Depth Of Field By The Timing Of Flash Actuation

View page
US Patent:
51172526, May 26, 1992
Filed:
Sep 4, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/576978
Inventors:
Jennifer K. Ellwood - Somerville MA
John P. Gaewsky - Reading MA
James C. Magno - Center Barnstead NH
Assignee:
Polaroid Corporation - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G03B 700
G03B 1503
US Classification:
354415
Abstract:
The depth of field of a fixed focus lens in an electronic flash camera is automatically increased and the sharpness or clarity of an image formed by the lens is improved for subjects located closer to the camera than the near end of the lens' normal depth of field by firing the camera's electronic flash at an aperture size that is smaller than one that would normally be used for such closer subjects.
