Patent number: 10620507Abstract: The invention comprises a small, easily transportable, specially programmed, wirelessly controlled camera mounting device. The camera mounting device is equipped with a ¼-20 stud, the standard type of stud used by tripods, so the user can easily mount a Go-Pro camera or any other kind of presently available small camera on the camera mounting device. Embodiments of the device can rotate the camera up to 360 degrees, left or right, at any of multiple speeds, and can pause, and rotate the camera up or down. Embodiments of the device can attach themselves to other surfaces, by several methods, and can be charged wirelessly. The invention also includes a method that eliminates the need to use multiple cameras, while making a video, and splice the video together after the fact. This invention also comprises security systems using the camera mount.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Inventor: William Conn Lefever

Patent number: 9977312Abstract: The invention comprises a small, easily transportable, specially programmed, camera mounting device with a wireless remote control. The camera mounting device is equipped with a ¼-20 stud, the standard type of stud used by tripods, so the user can easily mount a Go-Pro camera or any other kind of presently available small camera on the camera mounting device. Embodiments of the device can rotate the camera up to 360 degrees, left or right, at any of multiple speeds, and can also pause, and rotate the camera up or down, when needed. Embodiments of the device can attach themselves to other surfaces. The invention eliminates the need to use multiple cameras, while making a video, and splice the video together after the fact. This invention also comprises a method of filming, using the camera mount of the present invention, or a comparable camera mount.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Inventor: William Conn Lefever

Patent number: 8671954Abstract: A hair coloring tool which includes a body which has an opening and interior walls that define an interior cavity for containing a fluid hair colorant. At least one dispensing structure is provided on the body which is in fluid communication with the interior cavity. A plunger is pivotally connected to the body. The plunger is removably positioned in the opening of the interior cavity and is in sealing engagement with the interior walls of the interior cavity such that upon manual depression of the plunger, fluid hair colorant is forced from the interior cavity through the dispensing structure. A variety of configurations of combing tines, brushes, and nozzles are provided to accommodate varying hair types and textures as well as for the chosen width of the application of hair colorant.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Inventor: Nicholas William Conn

Patent number: 5188885Abstract: There is disclosed a nonwoven fabric laminate formed from an olefin copolymer, olefin terpolymer, or a blend of olefin polymers. Particularly, the improved fabric laminate is formed from a polymer having a crystallinity of less than 45% and preferably between 31-35% and most preferably about 32%. The fabric laminates formed from layers that are spun-bonded or melt-blown have improved characteristics including higher tear strength, greater tensile energy, greater abrasion resistance, better fabric drape and softness, and less particulate emission. There is also disclosed a low particle emission, sterilizable garment for use in clean rooms, paint rooms, and operating rooms.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1990Date of Patent: February 23, 1993Assignee: Kimberly-Clark CorporationInventors: Terry K. Timmons, Steve R. Stopper, Norman K. Fox, Dennis S. Everhart, William Conn, Lori A. Morell

Patent number: 5146172Abstract: An identification module and identification determination circuitry are provided for the purpose of identifying an apparatus and electrically determining the identification number of that identified apparatus. The identification module comprises a plurality of resistive identification circuits which, in turn, each comprise a plurality of resistive elements selected to have resistive magnitudes that relate to each other by powers, or orders, of two. The identification determination circuit of the present invention places each of the resistive identification circuits in series with a resistor of known magnitude between two connection points to provide a voltage potential and a resulting current flowing through the resistive identification circuit. The invention also provides a means by which the input voltage can be determined and used to adjust the determined magnitude of the resistive identification circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1990Date of Patent: September 8, 1992Assignee: Sundstrand Corp.Inventors: Kourosh Mehr-Ayin, William Conn, Luis M. Rivera, Andrew L. Gale, Phillip A. Marsh

Patent number: 4766029Abstract: A house wrap consists of a three-layer, semi-permeable, nonwoven laminate. The two exterior layers are spun-bond polypropylene having a melt flow of 35 grams per ten minutes at 230.degree. C. The interior layer is a two-component melt-blown layer of polyethylene and polypropylene. The polypropylene has a melt flow of 260 and the polyethylene has a melt flow of 350. The laminate is calendered after formation so that the polyethylene melts and flows to close up the interstitial space and to bond the layers together to create a strong semi-permeable laminate.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1987Date of Patent: August 23, 1988Assignee: Kimberly-Clark CorporationInventors: Robert J. Brock, William Conn, James M. Weber
