Patent number: 9596936Abstract: A seating device is provided. The seating device includes a seat, a post positioned below and attached to the seat, a base positioned below and attached to the post, an inflatable bladder positioned below and attached to the base, sensing electronics configured to sense orientation of the seating device and provide orientation data to a remote computing device, and a guard attached to the base. The guard includes a cylindrical wall centered on a longitudinal axis of the post and extending downward from the base at a position spaced radially outward from the inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder includes a complete spherical dome wherein when the inflatable bladder is filled, a tangent line to the inflatable bladder intersects the lower edge and forms an angle of greater than or equal to about 75 degrees relative to the post.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: SiTight, Inc.Inventors: Scott Bahneman, Tim Pratt, Filip Trojanek

Publication number: 20140067612Abstract: System and processes for facilitating introductions between consumers and dealers are provided. In one example method, a vehicle database storing information for vehicles being sold by multiple dealers may be searched using vehicle search criteria provided by a consumer. A list of available vehicles may be returned to the consumer and, in response to a selection by the consumer, the consumer may be deep linked to a webpage of a dealer's website. The number of consumers that are deep linked to a particular website may be tracked, and the owner of the website may be charged accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: LOTLINX, INC.Inventors: Len SHORT, Mark SCHELDE, Tim PRATT, Robert VUCIC

Patent number: 6155962Abstract: The beverage basket carrier of the invention is constructed of two separate blanks, a primary blank including the printed surfaces of the carrier and a secondary blank including the internal divider walls forming the bottle receiving cells. The blanks are designed so as to be tipped together in a straight line gluer for substantially increased production rates. The secondary blank may be formed of a different and more economical substrate than that required for the primary blank. The reduced size primary blanks enable an increased number to be arranged across a sheet or printing cylinder to increase the yield of the printing process. The resulting assembled carrier is similar to conventional carriers and suited for use by bottle fillers without altering their equipment.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1999Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: Malnove of Nebraska, Inc.Inventors: Bruce H. Dalrymple, Tim Pratt
