  • Patent number: 11775167
    Abstract: The technology provides for an electronic device with gesture detection. In this regard, the device may include a housing, and one or more sensors positioned along an inner periphery of the housing. The sensors may be adapted to detect user interaction with an outer surface of the housing. The device may further include one or more processors in communication with the plurality of sensors.
    Type: Grant

The sensors may be adapted to detect user interaction with an outer surface of the housing. The device may further include one or more processors in communication with the plurality of sensors. The one or more processors may be configured to determine the user interaction and to determine a type of gesture based on the detected user interaction, determine a type of input command based on the determined gesture, and execute a task corresponding to the determined type of input command.

  • Patent number: 9841017
    Abstract: An extraction device for use in servicing a pump having a pump housing with a first side, a second side, and a channel extending between the first side and second side. A plunger is located within the channel, and the channel has a threaded opening at the first side. The device includes an externally threaded plug and a driving component selectively extending through the plug. The device is anchored to the pump housing by threading the plug into the threaded opening at the first side. The driving component is then extended into the channel, through and beyond the plug, to engage the plunger and push it out of the housing at the second side.

  • Patent number: 9457957
    Abstract: A pipe carrying device for effectively gripping and transporting a pipe between a pair of users. The pipe includes a pair of elongated rods extending along a rod axis and a bend defined by the rod extending downwardly away from the rod axis. The rods are pivotally coupled at an outboard hinge located at the bend. The hinge includes a hinge axis round which the rods are configured to pivot. Each rod further includes at least one associated hemispheric clamp, the clamps forming a cylinder when the device is in a gripping position. The cylinder has a clamp axis extending parallel to the hinge axis and perpendicular to the rod axis. The device is biased towards the gripping position via the upward rotation of the rods, urging the clamps towards each other for securely holding and carrying the pipe within the cylinder when oriented therein.
