Publication number: 20220256936Abstract: The present invention relates to a male underwear garment with an attached protective fabric attachment. The fabric attachment can be integrated to the inner lining of a male underwear garment during manufacturing and functions as a barrier between the male reproductive organ of the wearer and clothing during and after urinating. The attachment prevents urine droplets from staining clothing during and after male urination. The attachment can be stitched into the underwear liner and can be pulled out (i.e. deployed) to cover a front portion of clothing to prevent urine droplets from staining the clothing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventor: Brandon Hall

Patent number: 10108218Abstract: An assembly for actuating a vehicle's brake system from a dual-driver position includes an auxiliary brake pedal coupled to the vehicle remotely from the primary brake pedal. A master cylinder's piston is actuated when the auxiliary brake pedal pivots, and a hydraulic line provides hydraulic fluid to and removes hydraulic fluid from a slave cylinder in response. A lever is provided near the primary brake pedal and has one end coupled to the slave cylinder. The lever pivots in response to provision or removal of hydraulic fluid to or from the slave cylinder. A connector is coupled to the lever's opposite end and moves with the lever. The connector is coupled to a movable member that directly applies force to a rod of a primary brake system actuator and applies force to the movable member at the same location where the primary brake pedal applies force to the movable member.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Fontaine Modification CompanyInventors: Brandon Hall, Josh Haynes

Patent number: 9787578Abstract: Example embodiments of the systems and methods of IPv6 mapping disclosed herein involve computing an IPv6 source and/or destination address based on the type of service being used by the user, which is derived from the digits input to the device by the user or system, and the destination phone number input by the user. The mapping is done in second half (for example, 64 bits) of the IPv6 address (the interface ID). The first half of the IPv6 address is a defined subnet (known as a “prefix” in IPv6 terms) for phone number routing. The subnet comprises a global routing prefix and a subnet identification. The interface ID is split into three sections: an identifier, a country code, and an end point number.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Hall Goode, Robert Clark Whitten

Patent number: 9146173Abstract: The reusable energy absorbing lab seat 10 includes a seat bucket for holding an anthropomorphic test device, a seat support structure, an energy absorbing system, a false floor structure, and a fail-safe system. The seat support structure is for securing the seat bucket to a sled that corresponds to a horizontal accelerator. The energy absorbing system is for absorbing energy imposed by the horizontal accelerator on the seat bucket and the anthropomorphic test device. The false floor structure is for simulating a real floor of a vehicle or aircraft. The fail-safe system is for reducing damage to the reusable energy absorbing seat, the anthropomorphic test device, and lab facilities in case the energy absorbing system fails.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Michael Knott, Brandon Hall, Zachary Cass

Patent number: 8855271Abstract: When a communication is directed to an intended recipient, a determination may be made by an intelligent communication disposition manager as to whether one or more available communication devices of the intended recipient are available for routing the incoming communication either based on device availability or routing previously defined by the intended recipient. The intelligent communication disposition manager may utilize presence data of the intended recipient for sending a notification of the incoming communication to one or more of the intended recipient's available communication devices. The intended recipient may select a preferred call routing option for the incoming call/message to be sent. Based on the real-time response from the intended recipient, the call/message may be routed to his/her preferred communication device.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Brett Brock, Brandon Hall Goode, Robert C.

Publication number: 20130115910Abstract: An intelligent Find Me, Follow Me (FM/FM) service includes forming, processing, and ordering a list of end points which may be used for searching for a subscriber in a telecommunication system. A typical problem with previous FM/FM services is that the “follow me” portion does not track the usage of a device in order to make the decision on the order of endpoint contact. Example embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods of intelligent FM/FM services include a method of tracking endpoint usage to make an intelligent ordering of the devices in an FM/FM contact group.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2011Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Robert Clark Whitten, Brandon Hall Goode, Philip Brent Foreman

Patent number: 8358765Abstract: A system for causing the simultaneous, or near simultaneous, receipt by multiple pre-identified communication termination endpoints of electronic messages sent at times respectively delayed relative to one another and inviting each of the communication termination endpoints to join a communication session. The system receives identification of associated communication termination endpoints that are to receive, at substantially the same time, electronic messages to join a communication session. The system determines and stores send time delays for each such communication termination endpoint that are calculated by a respectively appropriate method.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Robert Clark Whitten, Brandon Hall Goode

Publication number: 20130003952Abstract: Systems and methods for providing third party call services with the delivery of content to a calling party communication device are described herein. The systems may comprise a website server and telco gateway configured to enable a calling party to initiate a communication session between a calling party communication device and a called party communication device via a web page of a website hosted by the website server. During establishment of the communication session, the telco gateway determines what content to deliver to the calling party communication device and delivers such content to the calling party communication device while waiting to receive an answer of a call initiated to the called party communication device. The system may deliver different forms of content to a calling party communication device based on a variety of considerations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Robert Clark Whitten, Brandon Hall Goode
