Patent number: 11610229Abstract: An impression estimation system for estimating visual impressions of a plurality of vehicles configured with exterior graphic messaging. A mobile device application of each of a plurality of mobile devices associated with the plurality of vehicles generates vehicle mobility data. A computational platform includes a processor and program code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to, with respect to each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles: (i) identify, using the vehicle mobility data, one or more of the road segments in which the vehicle was present; (ii) estimate, using the traffic volume data, a number of potential visual impressions of the vehicle within the road segments; (iii) determine an estimated number of visual impressions; (iv) generate visual impression information based at least in part upon the estimated number of visual impressions; and (v) cause display of the visual impression information.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Wrapify, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Allan Flack, Philip Chen, James Sevan Heller

Patent number: 8745500Abstract: A window displaying at least one video clip and at least one highlight element is presented in a graphical user interface on a mobile device having a touch screen interface. Thereafter, user-generated input is received via the graphical user interface selecting one of the at least one highlight element during display of the at least one video clip. In response to the user-generated input, at least one thumbnail is displayed (concurrently with the window in the graphical user interface) that corresponds to a segment of the video clip being displayed. A video file is then generated or modified that includes for at least one thumbnail, the corresponding segment of the video clip. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: VMIX Media, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Paul Kostello, Sean Michael Meiners, Timothy Allan Flack, Joshua Aaron Gaines, Scott Wayne Gay, Philip Chen, Lonnie Jay Brownell, Julian Jimenez Santos, III

Patent number: 6856035Abstract: A drive system which integrates an electric generator, one or more electric motors and an electronic control module is configured as a variable speed drive in either single, dual or four wheeled traction drive configurations for a mower. The generator is mechanically driven by the output shaft of an internal combustion engine to generate the electrical power for energizing the electric motors. A central computer in the electronic control module controls the output voltage of the generator and the speed and torque of each of the motors in the drive system. The speed input signal for the motors can be analog signals that come from sources such as a joystick, a potentiometer mounted on a steering wheel, control panel, foot pedal or remote location or digital signals from a digital device. Position/speed detectors on each motor and the generator send signals back to the central computer for closed-loop control of the generator and of the motors.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Inventors: Dennis Brandon, Allan Flack
