Patent number: 9066638Abstract: An automatic product dispenser determines if the roll loaded into the dispenser is approved for use with the dispenser. The core of a roll receives a plug that engages a hub within the dispenser. The plug has a feature that alters an electromagnetic field created proximate the hub. The alteration of the electromagnetic field may then be used to determine if the plug, and thus the roll, is usable with the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2010Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: San Jamar, Inc.Inventors: Morgan J.

Patent number: 8571544Abstract: A system comprising a wireless network adapter and a pair of earphone. The wireless network adapter is external to a digital audio player and configured to connect to the digital audio player via an audio jack of the digital audio player. The wireless network adapter is for encoding analog audio received from the digital audio player into digital format and wirelessly transmitting the digitally-formatted audio. The pair of earphones is in direct wireless communication with the wireless network adapter and are configured to be worn simultaneously by a user. Each earphone in the pair of earphones comprises: (i) a transceiver that is for receiving the digitally-formatted audio from the wireless network adapter via the wireless network, and converting the digitally-formatted audio received via the wireless network to analog audio signals; and (ii) at least one acoustic transducer connected to the transceiver, wherein the at least one acoustic transducer is for outputting the analog audio signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Koss CorporationInventors: Michael J. Pelland, Michael J. Koss, Michael Sagan, Steven Reckamp, Gregory J. Hallingstad, Jeffrey K. Bovee, Morgan J. Lowery
