Patent number: 11974696Abstract: A method for covering an item with a framed cover is disclosed. A rigid tubular frame that is larger than the maximum planar dimensions of the item to be covered is constructed. The rigid tubular frame is built into a cover's opening makes it possible to find the opening, lift the cover evenly, place the cover over the item, rotate the cover to the proper position and drop the cover in an even manner and without snagging. In addition, the tubular frame can be made to fold so that the cover can be stowed away for storage in a controlled manner, and by folding the tubular frame on a larger size cover it makes it easier for the user to control the covers weight because its center of gravity is held closer to the user's body until it is properly positioned and opened on top of the item to be covered.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Divergent DevicesInventor: Elie Atalla

Publication number: 20220226722Abstract: The present invention is a trigger stop device for use with a video game controller having at least one trigger. The trigger stop device has the same number of stoppers that the video game controller has triggers. The release point of each trigger is determined experimentally. The trigger stop device is affixed to the video game controller such that an upper portion of each stopper has a line-to-line fit with a prominence of each trigger. In this way, the trigger stop device stops the trigger travel at the release point. A user will be able to depress the trigger to a hard-stop more quickly. The trigger will rebound more quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: Ghost Trigger LLCInventors: Fahad Tahir, Aunn Mohammad, Elie Atalla

Publication number: 20220134249Abstract: The invention is remote-controlled water toy that has an outer shell that is a continuous and external surface, a plurality of apertures in the outer shell that allow water to infiltrate the outer shell, and an interior volume that collects and stores water that has infiltrated the outer shell. The remote-controlled water toy can shoot water, be shot at by other similar vehicles, retain water that hits them directly in the interior volume, continue to be operational after being hit, and sink or otherwise become deactivated when a predetermined volume of water has infiltrated the exterior shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: DIVERGENT DEVICES LLCInventor: ELIE ATALLA

Publication number: 20190205927Abstract: A system and method to allow any user to create an anonymous message and pay for its distribution by paying for an initial budget. The system and method allow the user to target particular audiences by aiming the anonymous message at certain demographic groups. The system and method maximize distribution of the anonymous message given the budget and demographic constraints. The invention allows viewers to click on the anonymous message and provide incremental budget amounts to further publish the anonymous message. The anonymous message is published until all of the aggregate initial and incremental budget amounts are exhausted. The system and method allow for the common presentation of anonymous message content using templates. Users can monitor their anonymous message for total audience reached. Viewers can compare a plurality of anonymous messages from a plurality of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventor: ELIE ATALLA

Patent number: 10264929Abstract: A dispensing device includes a container retaining a dispensable material, which prevents the material from breaking prior to being dispensed or over-dispensing material by including a mechanism to slow the dispensation of the material, and also aids in breaking the material subsequent to the material exiting the container. The container has a faceplate with at least three members forming a substantially triangular aperture through which the dispensable material is fed. The three members include a pair of opposing flanges forming the triangular aperture therebetween. The pair of opposing flanges further form a substantially linear slot therebetween and contiguous with the triangular aperture, with the dispensable material further fed through the slot. Each of the pair of opposing flanges has a curved surface forming a side of the triangular aperture.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Inventor: Elie Atalla

Publication number: 20180128533Abstract: A system and device for enhancing the cooling of items in a cooler by circulating fluid substance within the cooler. The device is waterproof and comprises a power source operably coupled to a controller and a motor. The controller is configured to transmit power to the motor. A rotating mechanism is operably coupled to the motor such that the motor provides rotatable power to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is positioned on the device between a first position and a second position. An inlet is positioned at or near the first position and an outlet positioned at or near the second position. The device is configured for a fluid substance to enter the device through the inlet and exit the device through the outlet. The fluid substance exits the device at a higher rate than that of entry. The inlet is positioned at a lower portion of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventor: Elie Atalla

Publication number: 20170140423Abstract: A system and method provide advertising power to any person wishing to express an opinion, by distributing that message broadly to the public, regardless of the form of media or demographic groups, and provide a mechanism for supporting viewers to push it forward, and measures its success compared to competing messages. The invention provides access to advertising and dissemination of ideas to the masses of people, regardless of their membership in a social media or party or demography or geography or financial position. After the message is initiated, the invention allows for the public to support it by paying for additional views or clicks or advertisements which themselves allow for further support and so on. From that point forward, the message is propagated by the principle of survival of the fittest, where all messages are heard, but only the most widely accepted survive and grow.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventor: Elie Atalla
