Publication number: 20240078476Abstract: A system for providing ticket based authorized entry of a mobile access device includes a memory, a transceiver and a control module. The memory stores an access code of a ticket of an event to be accessed by the mobile access device. The mobile access device also stores the access code. The control module: determines an amount of time since the ticket was purchased or an amount of time since the access code of the ticket was last updated; and updates the access code stored in the memory and signals the mobile access device via the transceiver to update the access code stored at the mobile access device in response to the amount of time since the ticket was purchased exceeding a first predetermined amount of time or the amount of time since the access code of the ticket was last updated exceeding a second predetermined amount of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Sibu VARUGHESE, Martín NESPOLO, Gareth WEBB, Thomas KRZYZAK, Wilson YIM, Matthew JOHNSON

Patent number: 9290192Abstract: A controller for a spring wing on a frog that utilizes a floating piston rod carrying a fixed piston valve and a free-moving piston head is provided. When the piston rod is actuated by the opening movement of the spring wing, the piston valve separates from the piston head briefly, allowing oil to flow through the piston head in a relatively unrestricted manner. The piston head is spring biased towards the piston valve; upon contact between the piston head and the piston valve, the oil flow through the piston head stops, helping to hold the spring wing in the open position. When the spring wing begins to close, the adjustable oil flow through the controller allows the piston rod to move at a controlled rate, thereby controlling the closure rate of the spring wing.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Voestalpine Nortrak Inc.Inventors: Gary Click, Brent Duffner, Bradley Smith, Martin Webb

Patent number: 9120850Abstract: A modified protein of the single strand DNA-binding domain, SSB family comprising a detectable label is disclosed. The label has detectable characteristics which alter on binding single stranded DNA. The protein is thus useful in an assay for single stranded DNA.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignees: MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL, THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Mark Dillingham, Stephen C. Kowalczykowski, Martin Webb

Publication number: 20060201896Abstract: A utility hook is adapted to removably fit upon a standard overhead garage door track so as to not interfere with the garage door operation and may be used to suspend bulky items from the garage door track. The utility hook's lower portion is configured to hold an item below the hook. The utility hook's upper portion is a vertical segment continuous from the lower portion and bent at the top to approximately a right angle with an inward turned lip on the end, fitting over and engaging the upper flange of the track when the utility hook is set in place. The hook may be moved along the track by first rotating the utility hook outward away from the track and then sliding the utility hook along the track.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2006Publication date: September 14, 2006Inventor: Martin Webb

Publication number: 20050098511Abstract: A utility hook is adapted to removably fit upon a standard overhead garage door track so as to not interfere with the garage door operation and may be used to suspend bulky items from the garage door track. The utility hook's lower portion may be hook-shaped to suspend a bicycle or alternatively have a flat horizontal bottom to suspend a ladder. The utility hook's upper portion is a vertical segment continuous from the lower portion and bent at the top to approximately a right angle with an inward turned lip on the end, fitting over and engaging the upper flange of the track when the utility hook is set in place. The hook may be moved along the track by first rotating the utility hook outward away from the track and then sliding the utility hook along the track.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventor: Martin Webb
