Patent number: 10702371Abstract: A system for manipulating energy transferred by members defining a joint. The system includes a first attachment structure configured to be attached to a first member of the joint and a second attachment structure configured to be attached to a second member of the joint. There is also an adjustable energy absorbing device attached to the first attachment structure and second attachment structure, wherein adjusting the energy absorbing device changes the load manipulating characteristics of the energy absorbing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: MOXIMED, INC.Inventors: Joshua Makower, Clinton N.

Patent number: 10398211Abstract: A cap for a reusable bottle and a compound-containing container is provided. The container is a separate, replaceable structure with a base (well/bowl) section containing the compound and a hinged or otherwise removable cap. The container is secured in a cavity in the top of the cap using appropriate detents that flex based upon the materials inherent resilient (e.g. a polymer material) to selectively engage with and disengage from the cap cavity. The cap can include a (unitary or integral) hook or ring that extends from the edges of the cap and can provide a stop that the lid of the secured container hinges against when placed in an open position. The hinge includes a detent adjacent to its front edge (opposite the side containing the hinge). This detent retains the lid in a closed position, but can be overcome by pressure applied by the user to open the lid.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Tali Corp.Inventors: Tal Winter, Imraan Aziz, Thomas E. King, Michael J. Strasser, William G. Tammen, Kyle Lamson

Patent number: 10030407Abstract: This invention provides an adjustable canopy system for a workspace that includes a perimeter frame that exerts tension on a fabric piece, and defines illustratively, an ovular outline shape. The fabric piece can include a central/spine rod that is external, or internal of the fabric, so as to define a V-shaped cross section. The canopy element is mounted on an arm assembly so that it rotates to adjust tilt. The arm assembly also includes a multi-dimensional joint that allows for motion in a plurality of degrees of freedom. Illustratively, the multi-dimensional joint exerts selectable holding friction that retains the joint at a predetermined orientation, but allows movement under appropriate biasing force by a user. The multi-dimensional joint is mounted on the end of an upright. A base clamp is mounted with respect to a slot/groove or on an edge of the desktop.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2015Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: SIERRA PACIFIC VENTURES LLCInventors: Edwin Beedle, Mary Beedle, Michael J. Strasser, Imraan Aziz, Thomas E. King, William G. Tammen

Patent number: 7673410Abstract: This disclosure provides a portable shopping aid used to mount a shopping list, coupons, or other documents. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the aid is configured to sacrifice a writing surface in favor of portability, by providing a small body that may be easily inserted into a pocket or handbag. The body includes a clamp for mounting the aid onto a push bar of a shopping cart, for hands free viewing during shopping, as well as a document clip mechanism that clips documents by their ends closest to the push bar. In order to provide structural rigidity to retained documents, and notwithstanding the absence of a writing surface or clipboard, the clip mechanism is configured to crease documents. The shopping aid also includes feet for standing the aid upright, on a flat surface, and means for mounting the aid magnetically on a refrigerator wall, in all cases such that retained documents are presented in a convenient reading orientation.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: CM Concepts, LLCInventors: Michael J. Buerchner, Christopher N. Pericles, Michael J. Strasser, William G. Tammen
