Patent number: 7871653Abstract: A tiered shrimp food tray including a sheet of material forming a base tray having an outer ridge, a support ridge formed concentric to and in spaced relation to the outer ridge. An inner ridge and a base surface cooperatively define a central well which supports a condiment cup. A ring of shrimp is arranged on the support ridge of the base tray. A connector plate interconnects the base tray with an upper tray. The upper tray includes an outer ridge and a support ridge spaced from one another. A second condiment cup is disposed within a well of the upper tray. A ring of shrimp is arranged on the support ridge of the upper tray.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Ocean Duke CorporationInventor: Duke Lin

Patent number: 7623335Abstract: A feedthrough terminal assembly for active implantable medical devices includes a structural wire bond pad for a convenient attachment of wires from either the circuitry inside the implantable medical device or wires external to the device. Direct attachment of wire bond pads to terminal pins enables thermal or ultrasonic bonding of lead wires, while shielding the capacitor or other delicate components from the forces applied to the assembly during attachment of the wires.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Greatbatch-Sierra, IncInventors: Robert A. Stevenson, Richard L. Brendel, Christine A. Frysz, Haytham Hussein, Scott Knappen, Ryan A. Stevenson

Patent number: 7204425Abstract: An enhanced identification appliance, such as a wristband, bracelet, patch, headband, neckband, ankleband, legband, card, sticker, or other wearable appliance, may have a biometric, chemical, optical, heat, pressure, humidity, electromagnetic, and/or acoustic sensor, various opto-electronics and/or various security features such as tamper-evident and tamper-resistant features. The sensors may obtain wearer-related information such as a fingerprint, retina, iris, blood, DNA, genetic data, voice pattern, temperature and other characteristic. Security features include a fastener on the identification appliance, which indicates whether the appliance has been attached to a wearer and if so, enables circuit functions. If one tampers with the appliance, circuit functions may be disabled, certain data erased, and/or evidence of tampering made apparent. The appliance may monitor the location or determine the identity of vehicle passengers for an airplane, train, boat, bus, etc.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2002Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventors: Walter W. Mosher, Jr., Michael L. Beigel, H. Clark Bell, John Randall Tuttle, Oswaldo Penuela, Samuel D. Y. Marcus, David E. Wang

Patent number: 7201679Abstract: A vibration damping baseball bat includes a barrel portion and a handle portion. The barrel portion and the handle portion are interconnected in an aligned and spaced-apart relation. The mechanism by which the barrel and handle portions are interconnected dampens vibrations created when a ball contacts the bat and provides limited pivotal movement of the barrel portion relative to the handle portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Inventor: Thu Van Nguyen

Patent number: 7197842Abstract: A flexible, substantially non-stretchable, imprintable tape which includes lines of weakness constituting tear lines defining in outline a longitudinal series of symmetrical identification bracelets. Each bracelet has a generally rectangular imprintable portion, a first elongated strap portion at one end of the imprintable portion, and a second elongated strap portion at an opposite end of the imprintable portion. The imprintable portion has a width equal to the width of the tape and the first and second portions each have a width substantially less than that of the tape. The first strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with one of the side edges of the tape and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by one of the lines of weakness. The second strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with an opposite side edge of the tape relative to the first strap portion and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by another one of the lines of weakness. No part of the tape is wasted.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventor: Sherif M. Ali

Patent number: 7198190Abstract: An identification band for attachment to an individual or object includes an at least partially non-transparent elongated hollow body having first and second opposite ends. The body also includes a substantially flat intermediate portion with top and bottom surfaces and semi-circular edges, and a pair of fastening openings formed respectively at the first and second ends. A connector is configured for interference fit reception into the fastening openings for removably attaching the first and second ends of the body. The connector is removable from the fastening openings and adapted for subsequent assembly and re-use with a replacement body. A machine readable radio frequency identification chip is associated with the body, and an antenna is operatively connected to the chip.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Inventors: Dodge Juhan, Dean D. Peterson, Charles E. Wilson

Patent number: 7199995Abstract: A feedthrough filter capacitor assembly includes a conductive terminal pin which extends through a first passageway of a capacitor in conductive relation with a first set of electrode plates, and through a conductive ground plane and an insulator in non-conductive relation. The insulator includes ground plates conductively coupled to the ferrule. A second set of electrode plates of the capacitor are conductively coupled to the insulator ground plates, such as by a ground pin extending through the capacitor in relation with the second set of electrode plates, and at least partially extending through a second passageway of the insulator in conductive relation with the ground plates. In this manner, the exterior electrical/mechanical connection between the capacitor and ground plane or other ground member is eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Greatbatch-Sierra, Inc.Inventor: Robert A. Stevenson

Patent number: 7188764Abstract: A process for effecting ticket-based transactions includes attaching a band to a definite object. The band for carrying out the process has a plurality of removable tickets with each ticket bearing band-specific indicia usable in effecting a transaction. During the process, the band is associated with the definite object in an electronic database so that when a ticket is removed from the band to effect a transaction, the ticket is utilized to record the transaction in the electronic database.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventor: Oswaldo Penuela

Patent number: 7188767Abstract: A system includes one or more devices for providing information about a physical condition or environmental hazard. Each device includes a sensor physically associated with the user for detecting a predetermined environmental hazard and/or a physical condition of the user. The device is usually in the form of a wristband patch or tag attached to the user. The one or more sensors are adapted to detect predetermined chemicals, biological organisms, radiation or user blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen level, glucose level, skin condition, or biological and chemical changes of the user. An electronic circuit communicates with the sensor and includes an alarm for notifying the user or a third party of elevated environmental hazards or abnormal physical conditions of the user. Typically, the electronic circuit includes a transmitter, such as a radio frequency transmitter, for conveying information obtained from the sensor and electronic circuitry to a third party.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventors: Oswaldo Penuela, Jonathan Lasch
