Patent number: 11174665Abstract: A method and system for a camera based hands free power liftgate is described herein. The system may power on following a key approach and/or the doors unlocking and then initialize. If there is an approach detected, the lights may be activated and the gesture detection feature of the system may then determine whether a gesture was detected. If a gesture was detected, the liftgate may then be activated. If no gesture was detected, the lights may be activated. For example, if there is a key approach, the system may power and initialize. The system may then determine whether an approach is detected. If an approach is detected, lights of the vehicle may activate and a determination whether a gesture is detected is made. If a gesture is detected, a liftgate of the vehicle may be activated.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: FLEX LTD.Inventors: Pompilian Tofilescu, Sandor Zsombory, Yarko Matkiwsky, Reginald C. Grills, Adam Mack

Patent number: 9197274Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are described for protecting an electronic device. In one aspect, an electronic device might comprise a housing defining an open front face, a chassis disposed within the housing, a panel disposed within the open front face of the housing and supported on the chassis, and an elastomeric overmold surrounding at least a portion of a perimeter of the panel and disposed between at least a portion of the chassis and at least a portion of the housing. In some cases, the overmold might be configured to provide a perimeter seal around the panel and to deform upon a frontal impact to the panel or housing. The overmold might be configured to prevent intrusion of liquids or particulates within the electronic device. In another aspect, a protective housing, which might comprise the housing, the chassis, and the overmold, may be provided for protecting a stand-alone electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Adam Mack, James Yurchenco, Matthew Robert Adams, Andrew Switky

Patent number: 9195263Abstract: Novel stands for tablet computers and other electronic devices. A stand for a tablet may comprise a body having one or more attachment mechanisms at one location and a crossbar at a second location. The crossbar may comprise a portion of a first material disposed to magnetically interact with a portion of a second material that is provided by the tablet. The magnetic interaction may cause the crossbar to serve as one or more detents that movably affixes the stand in a desired position relative to the tablet.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Qwest Communications International Inc.Inventors: Adam Mack, James Yurchenco, Matthew Robert Adams, Andrew Switky, Adam Vollmer, Michael Gibson

Patent number: 9167141Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are described for protecting camera components on a surface and/or within an internal portion of a portable electronic device. In one aspect, an electronic device might comprise a camera mount, which might comprise a camera barrel assembly configured to have a camera affixed thereto, the camera barrel assembly being rotatably coupled with one of a front panel, a rear panel, or a chassis of the electronic device. The camera mount may further comprise a set of cantilever springs affixed to one of the front panel, the rear panel, or the chassis and biased against the camera barrel assembly to provide rotational friction on the camera barrel assembly. The set of cantilever springs might have sufficient compliance to allow the camera to retract into a body of the portable electronic device upon encountering an external force, which may include an impact force or a dropping force.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Qwest Communication International Inc.Inventors: Adam Mack, James Yurchenco, Matthew Robert Adams, Adam Vollmer

Publication number: 20140060639Abstract: The present application relates to a copper oxide nanocrystal with a cupric oxide (CuO) shell surrounding a cuprous oxide (Cu2O) core. The copper oxide core/shell nanocrystals may be used as photo-absorbers in photovoltaic cells. The copper oxide core/shell nanocrystals form a p-type semiconductor layer that coats and fills the interstitial gaps of the n-type semiconductor mesoporous structure in a photovoltaic cell. The n-type semiconductor layer may include, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: ONESUN, LLCInventors: Eitan Chaim ZEIRA, Wolfgang Adam MACK, JR., Molly DOYLE
