Patent number: 10583395Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a forward osmosis system/process utilized primarily in conjunction with a subsurface irrigation system/process. Saline wastewater or naturally saline water is treated using forward osmosis membranes that draw at least partially purified water from the wastewater into an osmotic draw solution (draw solution). The resulting diluted osmotic draw solution is then circulated through the subsurface irrigation system including one or more tubular membranes that reject the draw solution while permitting water in the diluted draw solution to pass through.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: KC Harvey Environmental, LLCInventors: Jonathan A.

Patent number: 10390500Abstract: Presented herein are membranes for use in separating solids including salts from water. One application of such membranes is in a sub-surface irrigation system that that utilizes a saline or tainted water as a feed source. In various embodiments, the membranes operate on a solution diffusion principle. In other embodiments the membranes operate on an ultrafiltration principle and/or a solution diffusion principle. In any embodiment, the membranes operate similar to pervaporation membranes suitable for non-pressure driven systems. The membranes are designed to provide increased flux rate while separating solids such as salts from water.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: KC HARVEY ENVIRONMENTAL, LLCInventors: Jonathan A.

Patent number: 9950239Abstract: The hitting training device is a training device used for practicing a swing by an athlete. The hitting training device is an earbud that contains a level sensor. The earbud is worn during the practice of a swing. The level sensor detects if the head of the athlete tilts off level off during the swing. In this circumstance, the level sensor activates a buzzer that audibly and physically indicates that the head tilted inappropriately. The hitting training device comprises an earbud, a level sensor, a signaling unit and a power system. The level sensor, signaling unit and the power system are contained within the earbud. The earbud is worn in the ear of the athlete much like a Bluetooth earbud commonly used with cellular phones.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Inventor: Kevin Harvey

Patent number: 9268466Abstract: The present disclosure features methods and systems for updating an application-centric interface or dock, generated and displayed by a local computer, with a user interface element representative of a remote application executing on a remote computer to provide integration between remote (“published”) applications and their local counterparts. This functionality provides a seamless, unified user experience by allowing hosted applications to appear as if they are running locally in a dock interface, in the same way that local applications appear.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Georgy Momchilov, Andrew Innes, Kevin Harvey

Publication number: 20140359716Abstract: A security application for granting different access rights to web pages and objects on each web page is disclosed. A data table assigns one or more function identifiers (FIDs) to users. A second data table assigns a different object identifier (OID) to each web page, and to assign a different OID for each object on each web page. A third data table assigns an FID to each OID. When a user attempts to access a web page or an object on the web page, a web server compares each of the user's FIDs to the FID assigned to the web page or object. The web server grants access to the web page or object if one of the user's FIDs matches the FID assigned to the web page or object, the user is granted access to the web page or object according to the function of the matched FID.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Srinivas V.

Patent number: 7246729Abstract: A collapsible garment hanger including a hook element attached to a fixed arm, a sliding arm with a longitudinally oriented slot, a crosspiece extending through the slot, attaching the sliding arm slidably to the fixed arm. When the distal end of the fixed arm tilts upward, gravity will cause the sliding arm to slide away from the distal end of the fixed arm. Whenever the distal end of the fixed arm tilts downward, gravity will cause the sliding arm to slide towards the distal end of the fixed arm. The collapsible garment hanger can also manually slide away from or towards the distal end of the fixed arm. An offset spacing between the outer tip of the sliding arm when it is in the collapsed position and the opposing offset portion of the hanger determines the size of neck of garment through which the hanger will fit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2004Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Inventors: Kevin A.

Publication number: 20060130003Abstract: The present invention provides a computer program utility that may be employed in a COBOL programming environment to calculate the number of parameters passed from one program to another. The parameter counting utility may be called from a second program upon receiving a call with parameters from a first program. The parameter counting utility derives the number of parameters by examining the save area of a first program in relation to the save area of the second program which placed the call to the parameter counting utility. The parameter counting utility may then return the number of parameters to the calling program in the form of a variable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2004Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Srinivas Dasari, Kevin Harvey

Publication number: 20060089189Abstract: A system and method for playing a card game, e.g. Poker, using a team format includes associating participants with two or more teams, and conducting two or more sets of card games wherein a participant on one team competes with participants of one or more other teams. Scores are computed for each participant based on that participant's performance. The scores for the participants of each team are combined, and the team with the best combined score wins. The card games are conducted with the aid of one or more computers, either within a gambling casino or over the Internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2005Publication date: April 27, 2006Inventor: Kevin Harvey
