Patent number: 11960863Abstract: A mixed mode programming method permitting users to program with graphical coding blocks and textual code within the same programming tool. The mixed mode preserves the advantages of graphical block programming while introducing textual coding as needed for instructional reasons and/or for functional reasons. Converting a graphical code block or group of blocks to a textual block lets the user see a portion of the textual code in the context of a larger program. Within one programming tool the mixed mode method allows users to learn programming and build purely graphical blocks; then transition into mixed graphical and textual code and ultimately lead to their ability to program in purely textual code. The mixed mode further allows users to program using any combination of drag-and-drop graphical blocks and typed textual code in various forms.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Mimlitch, III, Jason R. McKenna, Levi K. Pope, James B. Pearman, Timothy S. Friez, Paul D. Copioli

Patent number: 11478720Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a rotational motor situated within the housing, an eccentric load adapted to be rotated by the rotational motor, and a plurality of legs each having a leg base and a leg tip at a distal end relative to the leg base. The legs are coupled to the housing at the leg base and include at least one driving leg constructed from a flexible material and configured to cause the apparatus to move in a direction generally defined by an offset between the leg base and the leg tip as the rotational motor rotates the eccentric load.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: David Anthony Norman, Robert H. Mimlitch, III, Douglas Michael Galletti, Raul Olivera
