Patent number: 11941150Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for monitoring rides in a vehicle in which a driver of the vehicle picks up a rider at a pickup location and drives the rider to a drop-off destination. The system includes at least one sensor arranged in the vehicle and configured to capture sensor data during the rides, a transceiver configured to communicate with a personal electronic device of a driver of the vehicle, a non-volatile memory configured to store data; and a processor. The system captures sensor data during a ride, receives a ride identifier from the personal electronic device that uniquely identifies the ride, and stores the sensor data captured during the ride with the ride identifier as metadata.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Philip Ventimiglia, Stefan Weissert, Christian Stresing, Allison McInnis, Michael Schaefer, Joshua Dauzenroth, Alicia Winters

Patent number: 10479573Abstract: A loop forming fastener including a ratchet and locking features that can be utilized to provide for a desired loop size. The loop forming fastener may include an elongate body portion having a first end and an opposite tail portion, with a head connected to the elongate body, the head defining an opening configured to receive the elongate body to form a loop. A ratchet may allow movement of the body through the opening in a first direction, but prevents movement in a second direction. The elongate body may include a stopper to maintain at least a minimum loop size. The head may include a locking mechanism to lock the elongate body, and thereby establish a desired size of the loop.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Loop Ties LLCInventor: Philip Winter

Patent number: 10232295Abstract: A filter includes filter media and a mesh panel secured to a face of the filter media. The mesh panel has a perimeter edge margin and intersecting web members that extend from the perimeter edge margin across the panel. A web member can have an outer web portion with a larger minimum width than an inner web portion. The web members can define an outer flow opening with a smaller cross-sectional opening than an inner flow opening defined by the web members. The flow openings can be diamond shaped. The web members can include one set of web portions that define an outer flow opening and another set that define an inner flow opening. The sum of the widths of the second set can be less than the sum of the widths of the first set.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Filtration Group LLCInventors: Philip Winters, Kevin Hobbs, David Heritage
