Publication number: 20150121482Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile-based login via wireless credential transfer are disclosed. In some implementations, a proxy server receives a registration request for a receiver device for accessing a secure resource. The proxy server registers the receiver device in response to the registration request. The proxy server receives, from a transmitter device, information identifying the transmitter device along with authentication credentials for authenticating the receiver device to access the secure resource. The proxy server identifies the receiver device based on the information identifying the transmitter device. The proxy server forwards, to the receiver device, the authentication credentials for authenticating access of the receiver device to the secure resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2013Publication date: April 30, 2015Applicant: CELLCO PARTNERSHIP D/B/A VERIZON WIRELESSInventors: Paul BERMAN, Mohammad Raheel KHALID, Ji Hoon KIM, Corey Michael BRUNO, Mauricio Pati CALDEIRA DE ANDRADA, Samir VAIDYA

Publication number: 20100139790Abstract: An indoor sink faucet is claimed that is adapted for both human and pet use. The faucet substantially resembles a conventional human faucet, but includes integrated features that allow a pet to activate a flow of water and drink therefrom. Pet and human water can be dispensed from the same or separate outlets. Pet water can be mechanically activated, using for example a lever protruding from the pet water outlet. In other embodiments, the pet valve actuator uses a remote sensor to detect a pet using infra-red light, microwaves, or similar means. A timer can allow pet water to flow after actuation for a period that can be adjustable by a user. A flow sensor can prevent pet water flow when human water is flowing. And a training mode selector can cause pet water to flow continuously, thereby allowing a pet to learn how to use the faucet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2008Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: William Jockusch, Joel Mick, Paul Berman

Publication number: 20060143783Abstract: An energy diffusing pad insertable within a glove. The pad includes a resilient material having a first and a second surface, and a front and rear portion. The first surface is positionable against a user's palm such that when the pad is aligned over the user's palm, the first surface of the cushion contacts at least the thenar and hypothenar eminences of a user's palm while not contacting the user's Median and Ulnar neurovascular bundles. The glove may include a pouch to retain the pad while in use. When in use, the pad is positioned over the user's palm, where the pad forms a bridge over the raised, bony thenar and hypothenar eminences of a user's palm. The pad diffuses the pressure of the grasped object away from the region between the thenar and hypothenar eminences, thus protecting the Median and Ulnar neurovascular bundles. A cushioned insert may be included within a portion of the pad to provide additional cushioning and protection of the Median and Ulnar nerves.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventor: Paul Berman

Patent number: 6047973Abstract: Brake assemblies for in-line roller skates utilize a brake pad and a support member having portions extending forward of the front wheel. The brake support may fasten to the forward portion of the skate side rail by two bolts substituted for two of the skate's wheel bolts. Tabs or a groove, and a screw secure the replaceable brake pad to the forward portion of the brake support. The pad extends around the front of the front wheel and also at least partially around to the side of the front wheel on the brake support surface. The brake support member may be formed as an integral part of the side rail extending forward of the front wheel. These arrangements allow the skater to brake safely by tipping the foot downwardly or by dragging the foot to the side.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1993Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Inventors: Robert Amore, Jeffrey M.
