Patent number: 11899683Abstract: A digital asset management system (DAMS) provides an integrated user experience for the rapid and facile manipulation of a users digital assets in an online environment. Spanning the spectrum of digital assets, the DAMS system set forth herein enables users to tag, fitter, collect, and show such digital assets in a manner which requires preferably minimal user interaction in order to achieve digital asset management and exhibition. Sharing among friends and family becomes much easier and incoming digital assets may be automatically segregated according to user choices or history to enable easier management of such assets. Recognition of relationships, characteristics, features, and the like between different assets may occur automatically and develop an ongoing fashion to enable association of such similar assets into “collections” or the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lucas McGregor, Mike Depaoli, Adrian Gould, Chad Hill, Michael Thomas Ritchie, Kyle Kincaid, Glenn Lingle, Joseph Provost, Maria Vazquez

Publication number: 20060286874Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector adapted to engage with a support member, preferably being formed with a T-post configuration which provides a plurality of divergent arms. The connector can include a main body adapted to define a central recess and two or more clamping surfaces which extend from the main body. These clamping surfaces are configured to engage with a divergent arm of the support member. The connector when used is engaged with a support member so that at least one divergent arm of the support member is not engaged with a clamping surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2006Publication date: December 21, 2006Inventor: Thomas Ritchie

Publication number: 20060270264Abstract: A connector for support posts which have a plurality of divergent arms. The connector has four engagement sections. The first two are adapted to engage first and second divergent arms of the support post. A third engagement section is adapted to engage a third divergent arm. The fourth engagement section is adapted to engage the third divergent arm when not engaged by the third engagement section. The provision of third and fourth engagement sections adapts the connector for different sizes of support post.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2006Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventor: Thomas Ritchie

Patent number: 4028794Abstract: A connector is disclosed which is made from a plurality of electrical contacts, each of which is a resilient spring, spaced along a continuous web of insulative material which serves to locate the contacts in desired positions and provides an insulation back or cover for the contacts. The method and apparatus for making the subject laminated connector is also disclosed. The plurality of contacts are first formed from a continuous strip of metal, an insulative web is laminated to the metal contacts, and the laminated connector is bent by a continuous roller or die forming operation to desired curvilinear arcuate shapes. Discrete lengths of contacts formed together with the carrier strip are broken away or otherwise separated from the carrier strip either prior to or after the bending operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1976Date of Patent: June 14, 1977Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventors: Leon Thomas Ritchie, Robert George Harwood

Patent number: 3999837Abstract: An improved connector is disclosed for interconnecting and terminating bundles of light transmitting fibers in such a manner as to have low light loss at the points of connection. The subject connector is suitable for use in either splicing or terminating individual bundles of light transmitting fibers, each bundle including at least one fiber, as well as for connecting a plurality of light transmitting fiber bundles in a single connector assembly. The subject connector includes an annular crimping ring, an annular cap member, and a profiled ferrule member all of which are slipped over the prepared end of a light transmitting fiber bundle. The end of the bundle is prepared by stripping the exterior layer therefrom to expose the light transmitting fibers. In the case of the bundle including a plurality of fibers, it may be preferable to also pretreat the bundle by applying a potting compound to the fibers to form them into a cohesive unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1975Date of Patent: December 28, 1976Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventors: Terry Patrick Bowen, Leon Thomas Ritchie, Homer Ernst Henschen
