Publication number: 20230264630Abstract: A telescoping mirror pivot assembly comprises a telescoping frame assembly, a central shaft, and a mirror head. The telescoping frame assembly may include a first end and a second end. The central shaft may be coupled to the first end of the telescoping frame assembly. The central shaft may include a detent manual fold arm. The detent manual fold arm may comprise a first detent and a second detent. The first detent may be configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a first position. The second detent may be configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a second position. The mirror head may be coupled to the second end of the telescoping frame assembly. The telescoping frame assembly may be configured to transition from the first position to the second position when a first force is applied in a first direction to the mirror head.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Anthony P.

Patent number: 8484060Abstract: A system and method for calculating task times for a project. A project estimating system is disclosed that allocates time to a list of tasks, comprising: a system for determining a total project time to complete a project; and a time allocation system that generates a task time for each task based on the total project time and an estimating factor associated with each task, wherein the time allocation system includes an iterative algorithm that iteratively calculates an adjustment factor to be applied to each task. Finally, the calculated adjustment factor can be compared against preset levels and provide an indication of project risk and the likelihood that the project will complete on time.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anthony P. D'Andrea, Rolf J. Huelsebusch, Robert D. Keith, Bruce Wallman

Patent number: 8047665Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing defining an interior and including a mirror opening oriented rearward when the exterior rearview mirror assembly is secured to the motor vehicle. A backing plate is operatively connected to the housing in the interior. The backing plate is selectively moveable within the housing. A primary mirror is fixedly secured to a first portion of the backing plate. A secondary mirror is fixedly secured to a second portion of the backing plate. The secondary mirror is spaced apart from the primary mirror. An adhesive member extends between the backing plate and the primary and secondary mirrors such that the single adhesive member secures all of the primary and secondary mirrors to the backing plate. A demarcation divider separates the primary and secondary mirrors. The demarcation divider is secured to the backing plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: SMR Patents S.a.r.l.Inventors: Paul R. Henion, Michael E. Karpus, Gary J. Sinelli, Kevin D. Bower, Anthony P. D'Andrea
