Publication number: 20160337806Abstract: A method of location based electronic document signature tracking provides the ability to track electronically signed documents by location. An electronic document is received on a mobile GPS-enabled device, the electronic document is opened with document reader software, and a user enters signature input through a signature input field, either as a freehand, drawn signature, or as a typed text signature rendered into a font. A location signed document is created by associating the signature input and a location indicator retrieved from the mobile device's GPS device, and stored in a database, from where the location signed document can be retrieved and viewed along with the document's signature coordinates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Ronald C. Schurr, Maurice A. Brown

Patent number: 8706273Abstract: An apparatus for conveying audio signals from an input locus to an output locus remote from the input locus includes: (a) a multi-pin unit configured for receiving at least three signal paths at the input locus, including at least two audio signal paths for conveying the audio signals and at least one ground path; (b) at least one cable unit coupled with the multi-pin unit, substantially spanning an interval between the multi-pin unit and the output locus, and presenting the at least three signal paths at the output locus; (c) a connector pin unit coupled with the at least one cable unit at the output locus, and presenting the at least three signal paths in a single-pin configuration; and (d) a filter unit coupled with the at least one cable unit for filtering at least one predetermined signal component from the at least two audio signal paths.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Radio Shack, Corp.Inventors: Darrell Maurice Brown, Douglas Scott Lane

Patent number: 8314946Abstract: A method for selectively sequencing the rendering of an image for a print system includes determining a status field indicator for media type used in the print system; and pre-rendering an image according to the status field indicator, when the status field indicator includes a recognized media type. Additionally, the method identifies media type of a sheet of recording media that the image will be printed upon before rendering the image, when the status field indicator is absent of any recognized media type.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: Gerald Maurice Brown

Publication number: 20110313861Abstract: A mobile advertising relay system and related methods for relaying images between a designated server and one or more mobile communication devices. The system includes at least one designated server that is configured to supply images, and a database adapted to record information relating to images, users, image publishers (e.g., advertisers), and interactions therebetween. An image queue is uniquely associated with each mobile device whereby a plurality of images are stored for future presentation to the mobile device user. In embodiments, the image queue is stored in the mobile device to facilitate rapid display of the image upon receipt of an incoming communication. The designated server includes an image selection unit for replenishing images queues, and a user profile unit for recording user preferences and image interactions. Images may be rated by the user to enable future images to be selected in accordance with the user's tastes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2011Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: Sprezzat! Inc.Inventors: James R. Lawrence, III, James Hill, Maurice Brown

Publication number: 20070057108Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for a wire tensioning apparatus of the type in which tension on the wire is varied by linear movement of an adjustment rod. The adjustment mechanism includes a cam shaft having a number of cams mounted on the cam shaft along the length thereof. Each cam has a lobe with the lobes positioned circumferentially around the cam shaft relative to one another. A guide plate is attached to the adjustment rod so that it is slidable diametrically relative to the cam shaft. A cam follower plate is mounted on the guide plate. A number of cam followers are carried by the cam follower plate with each cam follower aligned with one of the cams and engageable with its cam. An electric motor with a reduction gear is provided to rotate the cam shaft sequentially to move a cam in and out of engagement with its cam follower.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventor: Maurice Brown

Patent number: 6478925Abstract: An apparatus for forming bristle sub-assemblies includes a vertically oriented slot, which is formed by two endless belts. A wheel disposed above the slot pushes a bristle string into the slot. The bristle string has a plurality of bristles connected to a base string in two rows. The bristle rows can be horizontally oriented, so that all of the bristles are co-planar in a horizontal plane, or they can be angularly oriented with the base string at the vertex of the angle. When the bristles are pushed into the slot, they bend to adopt a new, substantially parallel orientation. An ultrasonic heater heats the bent bristles to re-set the thermoplastic material from which the bristles are made so that after cooling, the parallel orientation is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: E.I. du Pont de Nemours & CompanyInventors: Mark Stephen Edwards, Robert Maurice Brown, Winship Stinson Reed, III
