Publication number: 20110231522Abstract: A distributed digital media metering and reporting system makes available digital media files for multiple consumer devices from a computer-based infrastructure. The consumer devices meter the number of playbacks of a media file that last beyond a predefined extent, in order to generate metering data, and then automatically report that metering data back to the computer-based infrastructure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2009Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: Omnifone LimitedInventors: Mark Knight, Philip Sant, Michael Lamb, Mark Sullivan, Stephen Pocock, Lucien Rawden, Alexander West

Publication number: 20070228810Abstract: An axle assembly (10) for a wheeled vehicle includes a cylindrical housing (12a) defining a pair of spindle mounting flanges (30). A pair of spindles (16) is secured to the flanges. A plurality of tension rods (60) extend between the spindles at the bottom side of the cylindrical housing and apply clamping forces to the spindles urging the spindles into mounting contact with the spindle mounting flanges and also concurrently couple the flanges to each other. The coupling of the flanges to each other generates a tension force in each tension rod, whereby bending loads exerted by the spindles are shared between the housing and the tension rods.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2004Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Paul Pochatila, Mark Knight

Patent number: 7260895Abstract: A modular tool assembly including a tool base configured to releasably secure a modular tool arrangement in a fixed relationship relative to a mounting surface. The tool base includes an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion having a mounting seal extending therefrom. The mounting seal cooperates with the mounting surface to define a vacuum pocket therebetween. A vacuum generating mechanism is configured to remove air from the vacuum pocket through an aperture in the lower housing portion. A modular tool attachment releasably engages a portion of the tool base to secure the modular tool attachment to the tool base. The modular tool attachment can include a self leveling laser leveling device having a laser light source mounted within a housing to project an alignment beam through an opening in the housing to denote a reference plane along the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Eastway Fair CompanyInventors: Charles Keith Long, Robert E. McCracken, Kevin A. Moore, Charles M. Wacker, Lilia F. Macias, Mark A. Knight

Patent number: 7106845Abstract: Rather than employing simple static personal identification numbers (PINs) that are susceptible to hacking, the disclosed security system provides multiple levels of security that may be selected by a user, based on his or her particular level of sensitivity at any given time or with respect to any given data. One level employs an algorithm that changes values, where the algorithm is known by the user. For example, the algorithm may be a series of digits based on the following: hour of day, day of week, quarter of the year, a.m. or p.m., day of the month, and month of the year. If the user knows the order of such, the user can readily generate the appropriate numeric code corresponding to the current time, and since the time continually changes, the code necessarily changes likewise. Another level sends a random part to a user, such as over their pager or phone, which they append to some user-defined, fixed portion of their PIN, or used in addition to their PIN.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2000Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: AccessLine Communications CorporationInventors: Oscar Veniaminovich Zhuk, Patrick Allen Stensberg, Jeremy Mark Knight, Frederick Allen Epler

Patent number: 5979471Abstract: Apparatus for removing a liquid (2) containing suspendible solid matter from a tank (1) comprises a plurality of nozzles (47) located at the lower region of the tank. A pump (10) removes the liquid and ejects it through the nozzles (47) to cause resuspension of settled solid matter. When sufficient resuspension has occurred, the tank (1) is emptied by opening a valve to remove a portion of the liquid being transferred to the nozzles (47). The nozzles (47) are arranged as oppositely facing pairs ofjet nozzles at the lower end of a rotatable vertical pipe (46). The pump (10) is suspended by a cable (13) connected to a drum (19) which can be rotated to raise or lower the pump. A pump outlet (12) is connected to a flexible hose (27) which is wound around the drum (19) or around a separate drum (110). A movable containment flask (14) houses the drum (19) and accommodates the pump (10) when withdrawn from the tank (1).Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1997Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: British Nuclear Fuels plcInventors: David K Wilby, Charles R B Lee, Mark A Knight
