Patent number: 8308179Abstract: A bicycle including a front wheel, a rear wheel, and a frame supported on the front and rear wheels. The frame includes a hollow frame member having a wall with an opening, and a flexible bladder positioned in the hollow frame member. A stiffening member is positioned along at least a portion of the bladder to facilitate insertion of the bladder through the opening and into the frame member. The bicycle further includes a collar coupled to the open end of the bladder with at least a portion of the collar being positioned on an outer surface of the frame member.

Publication number: 20100059565Abstract: An aerodynamic liquid carrying container adapted for liquid delivery to a cyclist includes a reservoir with at least one compartment adapted to hold a liquid and being mountable to a bicycle forward frame member. The reservoir has at least one opening, to receive liquid and to allow liquid to be drawn out from the container; a flexible tubing member passing from the inside to the outside of the reservoir and having a first and second ends, the first end located near the lowest liquid level point in the reservoir and the second end being positionable to allow a rider hands-free access to drink liquid contained in the reservoir; furthermore, the container is attached to the frame member(s) using pads, suction cups, VELCRO®, or straps that do not leave a mark on the frame member(s). The container is mounted in a zone of turbulence to increase the aerodynamic performances of a bicycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2007Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: SPECIALIZED BICYCLE COMPONENTS, INC.Inventor: Mark Cote

Patent number: 7624421Abstract: Proper user-to-data associations are maintained in shared spaces created in a peer-to-peer collaborative system by means of a simplified and minimal user interface that permits users to easily authenticate other members of a shared space. In particular, support is provided for automatically building authenticated relationships even if users do not take the time to authenticate other users. When a user enters a shared space and views the contacts in that space, the display names of each contact are accompanied by distinctive icons that identify that authentication status of that contact. A mechanism is provided for resolving conflicts between contacts with the same display names to prevent confusion and contact “spoofing.” Security policies can be established to provide a uniform approach to authentication. These policies can be set by a user or, alternatively, the policies can be set by an administrator.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond E. Ozzie, George P. Moromisato, Nimisha Asthagiri, Wei Dai, Alexei Evdokimov, Mark Cote, Adam Weiss

Patent number: 6297740Abstract: A sensor (50) for determining the magnitude and intensity of solar radiation. The apparatus includes a diffuser (2) which provides radiation through channels (60a, 60b, 60c, 60d) within an elongated channeled member (5) onto photodiodes (54a, 54b, 54c, 54d). Each photodiode (54a, 54b, 54c, 54d) is optically isolated from other photodiodes. The diffuser (2) is arranged and constructed so as to receive radiation within 360 degrees of the surrounding environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Control Devices, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan W. Hill, Richard Cook, Mark Cote

Patent number: 6243002Abstract: A sensor (20, 100, 200, 300) for detecting the approach and exit of a vehicle (42) to a tunnel (46). In one embodiment there is a sensor (20, 100, 200, 300) with a photodiode (22a) that receives light through an inclined channel (30, 30′) or aperture (32, 332, 432). The channel provides a field of view (44, 344, 31) ahead and above the vehicle. The photosensor (22a) is thus sensitive to the change in light from this field of view (44, 344, 31) as a vehicle enters (46a) and exits (46b) a tunnel (46). Some embodiments of the present invention include a second photosensor (22b) with a wider field of view (112, 112″, 111) for detecting ambient light.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Control DevicesInventors: Jonathan W. Hill, Jurgen Dorschky, Mark Cote, Damon F. Gentile
