Publication number: 20230299843Abstract: Conventionally, software-based services that utilize satellites are manually and painstakingly configured, provisioned, activated, and calibrated, because the complexity and variability of satellite links prevent automated and scalable service orchestration. Accordingly, systems and processes are disclosed for automated and scalable orchestration of services that utilize satellite links. In response to a service request, comprising a service definition for an end-to-end service, parameter(s) of a satellite link that satisfies the service definition may be calculated. These parameter(s) may be used to select a configuration for a satellite-network service chain, comprising a plurality of virtual network functions, from a service catalog. The satellite-network service chain may then be instantiated, within a cloud infrastructure, using the selected configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Christopher BOYD, Greg QUIGGLE, Scott KUBINA, Luis GOMEZ, Richard MONTELEONE, Mark TRYNOR, Daniel DE LA ROSA, James PRITCHETT, Stuart DAUGHTRIDGE, Frank SANDOVAL

Patent number: 11394928Abstract: A device for inserting and securing a video doorbell system inside a metal container that is securely fitted along the side of a door and can only be opened when door is opened. The device comprises a metal container measured to hold specified video doorbell systems inside WITH an opening that exposes the camera and doorbell button ONLY (FIG. 1). The metal container is attached to two u-shaped thin but durable metal hooks that snap together and cling to the side of a door snugly. The device also has cylinder tubes at the ends of each hook to decrease the ability to pull the device away from the door (anti-theft). The device also avoids property damage from permanent mounting using screws.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Doorbell Boa Operating LLCInventor: James Pritchett

Patent number: 6961895Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing audio data to text data in which the text is manually or automatically divided into an arbitrary number of sections and a text section is selected for display and presented to a narrator for audio input. A human narrator reads the displayed selected section of text into a computer to form an audio data portion for the selected section that is linked to the text by entering synchronization marks to the computer. The sections of text may be selected for reading and audio input in any order and by any number of narrators. Each recorded audio portion is converted to an audio data file and the audio data files are re-sequenced to conform to the original order of the text based on a playback control file. A plurality of narrators may contribute audio data from separate workstations of a network, or workstations which are connected to a central server over a communications network, such as the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2000Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic, IncorporatedInventors: Peter Beran, John Churchill, Kenneth Van Allen, Tom McCartney, David Kozemchak, Michael Kinsey, James Pritchett, Terry Bass, Karen Palmer, Carter York, Amy Steinmetz

Patent number: 5383251Abstract: A self-propelled floor cleaning machine or scrubber of the walk-behind type includes a one-piece molded main body incorporating an integral solution tank. The main body includes a central cavity in which is received a one-piece molded secondary body defining a recovery tank. The main body receives the secondary body in an interlocking fashion such that the entire unit is self-supporting, such that the use of gaskets or sealers between the tanks and other components is eliminated. The main body is supported on a steel frame which also supports the batteries, cables, wheels, brushes, squeegee, and the like (frame components). The main body fits over the frame components and together with the secondary body provides a water shedding cover therefore.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1994Date of Patent: January 24, 1995Assignee: Clarke Industries, Inc.Inventors: Emert R. Whitaker, Trent A. Fulghum, James J. Keazer, James A. Pritchett

Patent number: 4934298Abstract: A boat lift for raising and lowering a boat in a boat slip disposed between spaced apart parallel dock sides, the lift having a pair of cross members disposed perpendicularly to the dock sides and supporting a boat support frame. The cross members are slidably connected to parallel guide arms angularly attachable to the dock sides via adjustable dock clamps. One or more tanks are attached to the cross members for supporting same at selected heights in a body of water, and pressure hoses and valves are provided for selectively admitting compressed air or water into the tanks for raising and lowering the boat support frame relative to the water.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1985Date of Patent: June 19, 1990Assignee: Virginia L.
