Patent number: 7559418Abstract: A method of exchanging coins that maximizes benefits to a host/operator of an implementing machine (10) and minimizes or eliminates any transaction charges to users of the machine (10) by providing users an establishment-specific or otherwise dedicated cash-substitute or other non-cash option in return for the coins. Possible exchange options include dispensing a disposable first type of cash-substitute device (40a,40b); storing a credit on a re-usable second type of cash-substitute device (44); making a charitable donation; and crediting an account. Because the establishment own or rents and operates the machine (10), exchanged coins can be used to replenish cash drawers or to replenish its coin dispensers or dispensing machines used, for example, at or by checkstands or self-checkout stands or self-service checkout systems, and because the exchange options are primarily establishment-specific, sales increase.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2003Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Balance Innovations, LLCInventor: Kenneth Carter

Patent number: 7404589Abstract: A convertible and drapable fabric article for use in a vehicle. The fabric includes a first fabric half and a second fabric half separated by an intermediate section exhibiting a plurality of parallel spaced fold lines. The intermediate section supports the fabric article upon a ledge associated with a door window opening of the vehicle in a first configuration, and such that the first half drapes over an exterior of the vehicle adjacent the window opening. At least one element is associated with at least one of the first and second fabric halves, these typically being releasably attachable magnets to support the paws of a canine perched upon the door window opening and extending across an open window. The fabric article is further converted to a second configuration whereby hook-and-loop fasteners associated with extending straps secure the fabric halves to seat back and seat bottom interior locations of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Inventor: Kenneth Carter

Patent number: 7366681Abstract: An automated management system for monitoring and controlling distribution and storage of money tills, and linking tracking of employee productivity to time in receipt of a till. The system comprises a cabinet, a control panel, and a personal computer. The cabinet is mounted through a wall to provide an interface having a front side accessible from a first area and a rear side accessible from a second area, such as a cash room. The interior cabinet space is divided into till compartments that are selectively accessible from both the front and rear of the cabinet. Tills are loaded and removed from the rear by cash room personnel and from the front by cashiers. The system is operable to anticipate, based upon work schedules, needed till types or amounts; compile and maintain useful associated records, including employee productivity; and link to other systems to further improve efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Balance Innovations, L.L.CInventor: Odie Kenneth Carter

Publication number: 20080040259Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for providing an automated loan application. A method for providing an automated loan application may include scanning an applicant's identification card, extracting applicant identity data from the identification card, and receiving additional data, wherein the additional data comprise an amount of money to be borrowed. The applicant identity data and the additional data may be transmitted to a financial institution, which may determine whether to lend an amount of money to the applicant based at least in part on the identity data and the additional data. The applicant may then be notified whether the financial institution will lend money to the applicant.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: SHEFFIELD FINANCIAL LLCInventors: Von Snow, Kenneth Carter, Carl Moser

Patent number: 7252627Abstract: An incremental weight system enables increments of a certain standard weight size to provide selectable resistance. A selector plate having radially-displaced pins correspond to radially-displaced slots in incremental weights. The selector plate is spring biased to engage or be urged toward the incremental weights. The spring biasing may be overcome by manual effort working against the spring to remove a handle's distal end or other locking mechanism from a positioning hole or otherwise. An amount of incremental weight can then be selected with the appropriate pin engaging the corresponding slot in one of the incremental weights. An easy means is then provided by which an incremental weight can be selectably added to selector weight stacks and the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Tuffstuff Fitness Equipment, Inc.Inventor: Kenneth Carter
