Patent number: 11628350Abstract: Laces and tying mechanisms can be used with boxing gloves and shoes to allow a user to secure the laces without a second person and/or without tying a knot. A tying mechanism can include a back-to-back hook and loop fastener element or can be a separate hook element and a loop element. Lace overhang sections of a lace can connect to the tying mechanism to enable a person to lace up his or her gloves, or shoes, while having two hands inside the gloves without the aid of another person.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: RBCN HOLDING LLCInventor: Richard Barton

Publication number: 20220036759Abstract: An augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system and methods therefore are provided for assisting in learning to read. The system stores book data capturing the sequence of a book and dictionary which is used by a display controller for displaying symbols on an AAC reading user interface. This enables set of symbols to be displayed for each word which include a symbols having a contextually appropriate meaning for the current word being read within a displayed group of symbols. A reader conveys their understanding of the word by selecting the correct symbol. Selecting a symbol triggers audio output of the word associated with the symbol.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Katherine Alison Proudfoot, Richard Barton Proudfoot

Patent number: 7264152Abstract: An automated system for the confirmed efficient authentication of an anonymous subscriber's profile data. The system is comprised of software/hardware interface to facilitate centralized access and exchange to easily and inexpensively allow the confirmed authentication of subscriber profiles of customers wishing to blind their transactions, while maintaining current services. In one aspect the system allows a subscriber to anonymously accomplish credit card transactions without associating any aspect of the transaction with any information associated with the true identity of the subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Henry Tsuei, Stephen Wells, Lynn Holm Blagg, Laura P. Barton, legal representative, Peter Richard Barton, deceased
