Publication number: 20140209039Abstract: A collar mounted bark control device which is positionable about the neck of a dog. The bark control device includes a collar with a housing mounted thereto. The housing contains a power source such as a battery or the like. Microphones are positioned on the housing for detecting the sound produced by the dog while barking. A processing unit (CPU) is provided for receiving the signals from the microphones for making a bark determination. A corrective stimulus is applied to the dog when the CPU makes a positive bark determination. The corrective stimulus can be provided by a pair of electrodes for applying an electroshock to the neck of the dog. Alternatively, the corrective stimulus can be provided by a high frequency emitter, a vibration., a spray, an audible deterrent, or an irritant to the dog.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2012Publication date: July 31, 2014Inventors: Anson Wong, Kim Wah Chung, Gabriel S.

Publication number: 20130168162Abstract: A digital scale includes a display and buttonless top platform. Contact with the scale platform alone allows a user to power the scale, identify a user of the scale, determine a mode of operation of the scale, and to establish a reminder. The scale has a user mode of operation displaying a reading of the user's weight. The scale has a pet mode of operation displaying a reading of the weight of a pet. In the user mode of operation a second mode provides a display of the user's current weight, a delta or differential weight with the most recent recorded weight measurement and if the data is available, additional deltas for weight measurements taken up to one year earlier. The scale also has an instant on mode of operation in which it allows for instant weight reading.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventor: Anson Wong

Patent number: 7547851Abstract: A digital scale includes a display and buttonless top platform. Contact with the scale platform alone allows a user to power the scale, identify a user of the scale, determine a mode of operation of the scale, and to establish a reminder. The scale has a first mode of operation displaying a reading of the user's weight. The scale has a second mode of operation providing a display of the user's current weight, a delta or differential weight with the most recent recorded weight measurement and if the data is available, additional deltas for weight measurements taken up to one year earlier. The scale has a third mode of operation in which it provides a reminder for tasks to be undertaken by a user within a specified time.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventor: Anson Wong

Patent number: 7186930Abstract: A digital scale includes a display screen and a buttonless top platform. A controller is operatively associated with the display screen and the platform. Contact with the scale platform alone allows a user of the scale to power the scale, determine a mode of operation of the scale, and identify a user of the scale. Additionally the scale has a first mode of operation providing a reading of the user's weight and a second mode of operation providing an attribute that is dependent upon a weight of an identified user.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Sunbeam Products, IncInventors: Anson Wong, Alejandro Herrera

Patent number: 6919517Abstract: A beam scale for measurement of body weight and height according to the present invention includes a frame and a weighing mechanism. The frame includes a base assembly, a pillar assembly, and a horn assembly. The weighing mechanism is housed within the frame and includes a beam, weights, and a lever assembly. The horn assembly may include a transparent holding bracket having a level indicator. The scale may include a height measurement assembly having a height rod, a sheath supported by the horn assembly and the pillar assembly, a measuring arm, and a transparent height-measuring window having a line indicator. The frame may include a quick assembly mechanism to secure the pillar assembly to the base assembly during final assembly, quiet wheels for transport, and/or handle bars to support the user. Much of the frame may be made of pigmented thermoplastic or thermoset materials to reduce manufacturing costs and scale weight.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2003Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Pelstar, L.L.C.Inventors: James G. Montagnino, Anson Wong, Ricardo Murguia, Shawn Barrett, Curtis L. Cruver, IV

Patent number: 6797894Abstract: A body weigh scale that is formed of a fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material that is sufficiently rigid so that it may house strain-gauge load cells therein, and yet not significantly deflect under load. The fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material provides an attractive surface after molding. The fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material has extremely low shrinkage rates so that the outer pattern and shape of the scale is not affected by the forming of very thin cross sections adjacent to thick cross-sections. In addition, the fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material is sufficiently rigid to permit a body weigh scale to be constructed having a low profile with integral load-receiving platform and strain-gauge load cell receptacles. The rigidity of the fiber-filled, polyester thermosetting polymer material provides sufficient structural support for operation of the strain-gauge load cells without deflection of material at the receptacles.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: James G. Montagnino, Ricardo Murguia, Anson Wong

Patent number: 6781067Abstract: A body weigh scale that mounts into a floor of a room, for example in the floor of a bathroom, and that is designed to receive tiles or other floor covering materials thereon. A weighing mechanism of the body weigh scale generates weight information and transmits that weight information to a remote countertop or wall mounted display. The display may normally show a clock or another displayed item, and may convert its view to show weight units when a user steps on a platform. The display may also be configured to receive medical information from other medical devices, such as blood glucose monitors, heart rate monitors, or blood pressure monitors. The medical information may be shown by the display, may be received by the display and transmitted to another computer (e.g., at a hospital), or may be stored in the display for later transmission or evaluation.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: James G. Montagnino, Anson Wong, Ricardo Murguia

Patent number: 6759605Abstract: A platform scale cover is reinforced with one or more scale mats formed of a fiber filled polyester thermoset plastic material (FFP). The mats can be securely and rigidly fixed to scale covers using conventional mechanical fasteners. The FFP can be molded with textures, colors and grain patterns which closely simulate natural materials such as marble, granite and other stone and brick type materials. Sturdy mountings can be molded on the mats to facilitate mounting the mat to a scale platform.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: James G.
