Patent number: 10198699Abstract: A method and system for reserving a time slot to gain access to a resource, such as an attraction, ride, show or event, as may be found in an amusement park. A portable module is used to determine a time when the user is able to access the resource based on reservation requests and throughput, without need for a docking station or continuous communication with a central database of all reservations and queue times.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2013Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: LO-Q, PLCInventors: Christopher Bayne, Christopher Butler, Leonard Sim

Patent number: 10062234Abstract: A system for regulating access to a resource by a plurality of users is provided. The system comprises: a plurality of portable access keys, each being provided to one of the users and having an associated variable access parameter; an access barrier, having an open state allowing passage through and a closed state denying access to the resource, and defining an access queue; a sensor that determines an access queue characteristic related to a number of users in the access queue; a controller, which sets an access criterion based on the determined access queue characteristic; and a detector, located at the access barrier and which determines the variable access parameter of a portable access key when it is brought into the vicinity of the detector. The controller sets the access barrier in its open state if the variable access parameter determined by the detector meets the access criterion.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: LO-Q, PLCInventors: Christopher Bayne, Christopher Butler, Leonard Sim

Patent number: 8215730Abstract: In one aspect, an assembly includes an enclosure with an opening and a door for closing the opening. A first joining member is secured to the enclosure and a second joining member is secured to the door. The first and second joining members can be mechanically joined to one another in any one of a plurality of attitudes relative to one another and to be separated from one another. A third joining member is joined to at least one of the first and second joining members to establish an alignment position for the first and second joining members relative to one another. Following the separation of the first and second joining members, the alignment position established by the third joining member allows the first and second joining members to be rejoined in the same attitude as the attitude in which they were joined prior to being separated.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Electrolux Home Products, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Brown, Michael Christopher Bayne

Publication number: 20070108721Abstract: The present invention solves many of the problems for the wheelchair bound individual who wants an ergonomically sensible, convenient, yet powerful and stable wheelchair. The Trike's unique power source is provided by a rowing-type motion of the user rather than the less efficient “hand rim” grip or wrist propulsion. The rowing motion significantly reduces the chances for repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel. Furthermore, the rowing motion and movements, are designed to facilitate efficient propulsion and steering in combination, to be effected simultaneously. The rowing motion allows the user's full arm strength and full range of motion to assist in the powering of the vehicle. The wheelchair also has a retractable fifth or propulsion wheel that allows the chair to be used in a confined space without sacrificing performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: Christopher Bayne, Stephen Barker

Publication number: 20060006164Abstract: The present invention comprises a fully automated, fabrication compliant furnace with the advantages of the horizontal and most of the advantages of the vertical furnace. One embodiment of the present invention is that it implements a multi-degree motion robot arm to move wafers from a loading area to a WIP station where the wafers are then loaded into wafer boats on a rotating cantilever system or directly onto a specialized and reconfigurable paddle designed to hold wafers. The wafers may be loaded in the horizontal processing position as well as the vertical processing position. Multiple levels of the semi-toroidal horizontal processors allow for multiple batches of wafers to be loaded, processed, cooled and unloaded by the robot arm. The present invention reduces the footprint of the traditional horizontal or vertical furnaces, increases capacity and throughput, and allows for direct tube transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2004Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventor: Christopher Bayne
