Patent number: 10594864Abstract: A system and method are presented for advanced campaign management in outbound dialing platforms. In a contact center environment, a dialing campaign may be configured such that the outbound dialing platform modifies its behavior automatically throughout the dialing campaign as conditions change. Dialing campaigns may be constructed from groups, which are organized into a campaign sequence. As the campaign sequence flows between groups, details of the campaign may be monitored and evaluated by the platform. Group transitions may be initiated based on activation triggers. In an embodiment, campaign sequences may also be automatically transitioned to new campaign sequences, paused, or reset based on activation triggers. A transition may also be initiated by manual override of the platform.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Inventors: Mark R. Stumpf, Chad McCormick, Brian Wolfe

Patent number: 8746877Abstract: Eyewear is provided that can comprise a frame, a lens, and at least one retention component that can secure the lens relative to the frame. The frame can be configured to support at least one lens in a field of view of a wearer. The retention component can be supported by the frame and/or the lens and can be movable or fixed relative to the frame and/or the lens. In some embodiments, the retention component can slidably engage an engagement portion of the frame and/or the lens for preventing the lens from separating from the frame in response to a ballistic event. In some embodiments, the eyewear can comprise a faceplate and a pair of straps that attach to the frame of the eyewear in a manner that evenly distributes compressive stresses across the surface of the faceplate.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Jason Belbey, Steve Oldham, Hans Karsten Moritz, Jason Hutchison, Chad McCormick

Patent number: 7404525Abstract: A rotary sprinkler having a rotatable nozzle assembly for watering an arc of ground traversed or swept by the nozzle assembly as the nozzle assembly rotates is disclosed. Oscillating rotation is achieved via a drive train that includes a trip spring that is drivable between first and second positions for reversing the direction of nozzle rotation. The sprinkler also includes: a variable trajectory nozzle; secondary opening adjacent the variable trajectory nozzle; an automatic break up screw configuration; a substantially constant speed turbine assembly; a bypass stator; a reversing cluster gear planetary drive with a uni-directional turbine; an overcenter reversing mechanism; a nozzle base clutch; an adjustable arc mechanism, solid arc limit stops, a snap ring installation method and an adjustable pilot valve which uses visual indicia.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2005Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: The Toro CompanyInventors: Miguel Santiago, Jeff McKenzie, Peter Janku, Steven C. Renquist, Hyok Lee, Steve K. Kish, James T. Wright, III, Chad McCormick

Patent number: 7337988Abstract: The present invention provides a turbine with dual sets of fins and a stator assembly for directing water onto both sets of fins. The water flow directed to the first set of fins generates slightly more force than the water flow directed to the second set of fins. In this manner, the opposing forces generated by the water flow maintain a more uniform and constant speed of the turbine.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2004Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: The Toro CompanyInventors: Chad McCormick, Jeff McKenzie

Publication number: 20050167526Abstract: A rotary sprinkler having an adjustable arc segment whose angular extent and absolute direction relative to the ground are represented by an arc indicator, which arc indicator may comprise a band whose visible length represents the angular extent and whose position on the sprinkler points to the direction. The sprinkler may have the arc segment adjusted by a movable arc limit stop that is coupled to a toggle member only at drive reversal, and the sprinkler may be converted to full circle operation by raising the arc limit stop relative to a cooperating trip tab. A buckling spring assembly used to shift the drive comprises a compression spring held between two spaced pivot members, and the drive can be built in continuous and intermittent drive versions by replacing a few normal rotary gears with multilated gears. A friction clutch having asymmetric teeth for smooth operation prevents damage to the drive during forced nozzle rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2005Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventors: Jeff McKenzie, Chad McCormick, Peter Janku

Publication number: 20050103887Abstract: An improved sprinkler nozzle for both above-the ground and pop-up rotary sprinkler systems that controls precipitation rate and water distribution is disclosed. To apply water in a uniform pattern and provide even coverage and distribution of water, one or more steps are included on the internal wall of the nozzle. These steps, together with a decreasing internal diameter toward the fluid outlet end of the nozzle, increase the boundary layer size of fluid within the flow passage of the nozzle and produce a spray pattern that is uniformly distributed over the entire throw radius of the sprinkler. In addition, one or more wedge-shaped fins may also be included within the internal passage of the nozzle to reduce water turbulence and provide increased fluid flow control and uniform water coverage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventor: Chad McCormick
