Publication number: 20200404087Abstract: A phone support assembly for positioning a screen of a phone for viewing includes a plate. A first strap and a second strap are coupled to and extend from a top and a bottom of the plate, respectively, to define a first loop and a second loop, respectively. The first loop is configured to position around a neck of a user to position the plate on an upper chest region of the user. The second loop is positioned around the user's abdomen to secure the plate. A pair of first bars, which is pivotally coupled to the plate, and a second bar, which is pivotally coupled to the pair of first bars distal from the plate, are selectively angularly positionable. A fastener that is coupled to the second bar is configured to selectively couple to a cellular phone so that the phone's screen is viewable by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventor: Eric Marsh

Patent number: 10605990Abstract: A tensioning tool device includes a flexible or spring support having a spring bearing that translates a linearly applied external force at an input to linear displacement at an output of the spring bearing. An external force applied to the input of the spring bearing causes the output to pull on a section of the optical fiber and imparts axial strain and tension in the optical fiber. The spring bearing includes one or more sets of parallel flexible beams cantilever-coupled to the input and output, to provide a flexible/spring structure that couples an external force input to an output coupled to the first section of the optical fiber. The external force is applied to displace the input to flex the fixed-guided beam(s) to impart axial tension in the optical fiber at the output of the flexible bearing.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: CUDOQUANTA FLORIDA, INC.Inventors: Robert Ryan Vallance, Eric Marsh

Patent number: 10539308Abstract: A modular overhead lighting system includes a raceway element and one or more interchangeable lighting modules capable of variable positioning relative to the raceway element. Multiple raceway conductors are mounted in the raceway element, with a portion of each raceway conductor being exposed along a lower surface thereof to facilitate continuously variable positioning of lighting modules. An electrical connector for establishing electrical connections between a raceway element and a lighting module includes multiple ridges incorporating electrical contacts configured to contact raceway conductors, and includes terminals to removably receive electrical wires permitting electrical communication between a lighting module and the raceway element.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: IDEAL Industries Lighting LLCInventors: Randy Bernard, Eric Marsh, Mai Zakerin

Publication number: 20190186710Abstract: A light fixture has a linear LED array and a lens having a first surface and a second surface that covers the LED array. The light being received at the first surface and emitted from the second surface. The lens includes a plurality of light shaping features on at least one of the first surface and the second surface where the plurality of light shaping features are configured to generate a directional light distribution pattern. The light pattern may be symmetric or asymmetric relative to a longitudinal axis of the light fixture. The lens may comprise a plurality of sections where the plurality of sections made of material having different optical properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Jin Hong Lim, Mark Boomgaarden, Randall Levy Bernard, Eric Marsh

Patent number: 10160387Abstract: A compression molded vehicle floor panel includes a main body formed by compression molding and having a first side and an opposed second side, and at least one separately formed measurement locating member at least partially encapsulated in the main body during the compression molding. The measurement locating member defines a cavity having an open end at the first side of the main body. The cavity is configured to receive a locator pin of a measurement fixture to locate the compression molded vehicle floor panel in the measurement fixture for measurement of the compression molded vehicle floor panel.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: FCA US LLCInventors: Jacob Wright, Eric Clara, Nicholas D Kappler, Jeffrey D Sutherland, Donald L Wilson, Jr., Eric A Marsh, John H Pray, Joseph J Swailes, Kazimiera Borek

Patent number: 9885833Abstract: A portable, hand tool for scribing optical fibers in a cleaving process. The scribing tool comprises a body within which the optical fiber is supported for rotation with respect to the body, about an axis within the body. The optical fiber is constrained by supports from movements along its axis. An actuator moves a scribing bit orthogonal relative to the fiber axis. The actuator may be a piezoelectric actuator, such as in a tube that bends under applied voltage. In one embodiment the scribing tool has a single scribing bit. In another embodiment, the scribing tool has multiple (N) scribing bits that can be applied against the optical fiber simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: NANOPRECISION PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Robert Ryan Vallance, Eric Marsh
