Patent number: 11897183Abstract: In one example, a structure includes a flexible plastic body having a first end and a second end, as well as a first side and a second side disposed opposite each other. The first side includes a first group of segments, and the second side includes a second group of segments. The structure also includes a group of living hinges integral with the body, and one of the living hinges is positioned between segments, and the living hinges enable the flexible plastic body to alternatively assume a flat state, or another state in which the body is not flat.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: LIFETIME PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Robert A. Astle, Danny Green, Jacob Kearl, Eric Olsen

Patent number: 11749130Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and related methods of teaching pre-keyboarding and keyboarding on a QWERTY-style keyboard wherein a color-coded row-based metaphorical and visual cuing system is used in a curriculum to make foundational keyboarding skills easy-to-teach and easy-to-learn, including: unilateral hand/finger skills, Home Row hand/finger positions, relational position of symbol location, and the essential keystroke spectrum of Home Row positioning-based finger movements of the left and right hand. The invention provides a dynamic virtual keyboard with colored rows which hexfurcates the QWERTY layout into left- and right-handed row sections, independently toggling the visibility of each in a developmental order to teach keyboarding skills in incremental steps rather than all at once. The invention further provides a dynamic cursor that uses visual indicators that mirror the visual cuing system to reinforce instruction with the dynamic virtual keyboard and aid keyboarding accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: NO TEARS LEARNING, INC.Inventors: Janice Z. Olsen, Emily Knapton, Eric Olsen, Robert Walnock, Hank Isaac, Ralph Sklarew

Patent number: 11213847Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for covering an airless spray gun for the purpose of protecting the gun while preventing unintended triggering. Protecting the gun prolongs the life of the tool while preventing unintended triggering helps prevent injection injuries. In one embodiment a semi-rigid elastomeric form encloses the top, front, bottom and at least a portion of the sides of an airless spray gun, or air assisted spray gun, while a flexible elastomeric material covers a significant portion of the sides of the tool.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Inventors: Chris Olsen, Eric Olsen

Publication number: 20200220395Abstract: A stator for an electric motor is described. An example stator includes a stator core having teeth that are radially arranged about a common central axis of the stator and located in a spaced apart manner from one another. Each tooth has an inward portion and an outward portion. The example stator further includes an electrically transmissive coil of wire that is wound contiguously upon the inward portions of at least a subset of teeth from the plurality of teeth. The stator also includes wedge members that are radially arranged about the common central axis and located intermittently with the plurality of teeth such that each wedge member abuts with the outward portions of adjacently located teeth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Kalonica Joan Kitson Christie, James Paul Murphy, Leif Eric Olsen, David Fred Nelson, Christopher Cody Edwards
