Publication number: 20180376276Abstract: Methods and systems for communication between remote internet enabled devices to RF network based devices. The remote device is able to communicate through a gateway device connected to the internet and capable of RF network communication. It is by communication to this gateway device is that a server is able to identify and communicate with an RF device, such as a Bluetooth enabled tracking device, to uniquely identify it and alter its state, so that multiple users could simultaneously control the RF device without having a direct RF connection to the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2017Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: John Louis Mikelich, Christopher Gary Herbert, Seth Andrew Robin

Patent number: 9613472Abstract: A system for diagnosing vehicle problems that may include a client device and central device. The client device may include a connector to connect to a vehicle and a vehicle interface to send and receive information from the vehicle. The client may also include an input/output system, a processor, and a communication system to communicate with the central device. The client device may capture a vehicle identification number (VIN) and may transmit the captured VIN along with geographic information to the central device. In response to received instructions from the central device, the client device may passively capture diagnostic information from the vehicle and transmit the diagnostic information to the central device. In response to the diagnostic information, the central device may transmit further instructions to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Gary Herbert Heine, David Tsai, Bruce Andrew Mutter, Thomas Fallow Trisdale

Publication number: 20140297900Abstract: A method of an application to identify wireless peripherals in an iOS environment or other environment when peripheral identification information such as address is limited or not available. The application assigns a unique identifier to each peripheral as it connects to a wireless network such as Bluetooth. The unique identifier is a settable/readable parameter that the operating system assigns as a property to the wireless peripheral, for example audio volume. The application assigns a unique value to the identifier for each peripheral, and if the parameters are equal for two or more peripherals, the values are slightly adjusted to be different. The application is particularly useful for keeping track of multiple Bluetooth headsets.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2013Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: PHONE HALO LLCInventors: Christopher Gary Herbert, Ronald Lance Justin

Patent number: 7851730Abstract: A food support surface is elevated by legs or sidewalls to raise a food product above the floor of the microwave to promote even cooking of the food product. Portions of the side walls extend above the food support surface to provide food product control. The side walls are configured to permit easy access to the food product, thus facilitating removal of the food product from the support surface. A susceptor is disposed on the food support surface to provide conductive heating of the portions of the food product contacting the susceptor during microwave heating. The material and construction of the cooking apparatus provides increased rigidity and support for the food product, while also facilitating cool handling of the cooking apparatus after microwave cooking is complete.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2006Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Kraft Foods Global Brands LLCInventors: Gary Herbert Carmichael, Corey Jacob BeVier, Albert Vincent Maslowski

Publication number: 20100116874Abstract: An easy opening feature to open a sealed and taped carton, such as a partially perforated tab, adjacent an opening in an end panel of the carton where an adhesive strip is placed over a top panel of the carton and extends down the end panel and over at least a portion of the tab. Upon removing the tab from the carton the adhesive strip is removed along with the tab. A method for opening the carton comprises applying a force to lift up on the partially perforated tab to remove the tab from the carton and to continue lifting upward to remove the remainder of the adhesive strip from the top panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Inventor: Gary Herbert Carmichael

Publication number: 20050067341Abstract: A method is provided for the continuous production of treated waters using a staged, tapered array membrane plant by a process of process-logic-controlled (PLC) stage or stage increment isolation and removal from service, washing and return-to-service concurrent with the continued operation of all other stages and/or stage increments of the plant. Specifically, there are plant mounted input/output sensors that supply the PLC with the data required to identify the location and degree of “fouling” of the individual stages or stage increments of a tapered array membrane water treatment plant, where fouling is defined as a loss of water flow through a membrane surface at a given pressure when compared to a water flow standard for the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2004Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Dennis Green, George Piegols, John Lombardi, Gary Herbert
