Patent number: 6836676Abstract: This invention includes a speakerphone accessory suitable for connection to either a battery charger having a phone in its pocket or to a cellular telephone. The speakerphone module includes a hemispherical upper housing. The upper housing includes a circular dimple aperture and a wave directing cap. The hemispherical shape, aperture and cap all contribute to directing acoustic waved generated by a speaker disposed within the housing radially from the module in all directions. One embodiment of the module includes a second terminal for passing data and power through the module, allowing the module to be coupled serially between devices. The module also includes a bottom housing having a generally hemispherical shape. The bottom housing provides stability to the connection between the module and a peripheral device in that it reduces the mechanical advantage given to forces incident upon the upper housing acting upon the main terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2001Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Grant Harries Lloyd, Charles S. Baxter, Paul James Faerber, David Townsend

Patent number: 6344727Abstract: A battery charger that includes a data store that can receive, store, and send data files to other computer devices. The battery charger can specifically receive, send, and store multimedia files such as those in MP3 format. The battery charger has a charger platform with at least a charger main processor, a data store (memory), a charged device interface, and a charge control resident thereupon. The battery charger also includes a power link for selectively providing electricity to the charge control of the charger, and a data link for sending and receiving data from the charger main processor. The charger main processor selectively sends and receives data through the data link and stores and retrieves the data from the data store.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2001Date of Patent: February 5, 2002Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Dipiti Desai, Grant Harries Lloyd, Richard Liu, Rebecca Lefebvre

Patent number: 6127802Abstract: This invention is a battery charger having a pocket for charging a battery. The pocket is covered by a door which has a battery retention latch. When the door is open, and a battery is inserted into the pocket, the battery retention latch of the door exerts force upon the battery in a direction towards the charging contacts located in the base of the pocket. In so doing the door and battery retention latch hold the battery against the charging contacts, thereby enduring a good electrical connection. The battery retention latch also has a convex detente which keeps the door closed when no battery is present. Additionally, the charger may have a pocket for charging a phone and battery combination as well.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1999Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Grant Harries Lloyd, Willard Francis Amero, Jr.

Patent number: 5099463Abstract: A medication dosage instruction and alarm device that indicates the time at which medication should be taken and visual instructions for the correct utilization of the medication to the user. The instruction and alarm device permits the medication to be retained within the original containers supplied by the pharmacist and provides a queuing feature that insures the medications are properly taken in sequence. A mechanism is also provided to insure that the original containers are properly restored after the medication has been taken.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1991Date of Patent: March 24, 1992Inventors: Harry A. Lloyd, Timothy Jones, Dan C. Dunn

Patent number: 4091760Abstract: The vessel comprises a pair of laterally spaced elongated hulls having a plurality of upstanding columns spaced therealong supporting a working platform in spaced relation above the hulls a distance slightly greater than the maximum anticipated wave height. The hulls buoyantly support the vessel in a low draft floating condition with the hulls having free-board. The hulls have ballast compartments to submerge the hulls and portions of the stabilizing columns to a distance of approximately half the effective height of the stabilizing columns which is slightly greater than maximum anticipated wave height, to maintain the vessel in a high draft floating condition with the platform elevated above the waterline. The columns stabilize the vessel in the high draft condition about roll and pitch axes. The working platform mounts either a drilling rig or a heavy duty crane or like operational equipment along the centerline of the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1976Date of Patent: May 30, 1978Assignee: Santa Fe International CorporationInventor: Samuel Harry Lloyd, III
