Patent number: 11922431Abstract: In one aspect, a method carried out by a content-presentation device may include transmitting a consent-processing request, including an identifier string unique to the device, to a consent management platform disposed in a computing cloud. The string may be used to establish an interactive session for user selection of consent options associated with a consent package having consent features of a media distribution system that require user consent for activation on the device. The consent package may be one of multiple consent packages targeted for the device by the consent management platform. The interactive session may prompt for consent choices of consent options, each choice being acceptance or rejection of consent to activating features of the consent package. The consent choices may be provided to the consent management platform via the interactive session, and corresponding information may be stored in a device-based activation whitelist for each consent-to feature.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Brian Paul Johnson, Peter William Ellison, Matthew Jorgensen, George Earl Harvey, Kurt Roman Thielen

Publication number: 20130194786Abstract: A novel crystal beaded pumpkin and process for making a same. An open topped transparent hollow shell member in the shape of a pumpkin or other holiday themed shape is internally coated with a thin layer of liquid acrylic resin. A plurality of color tinted transparent crystal beads are poured into the top of the shell member. The excess beads are then poured out of the shell member leaving a thin layer of beads coating the interior wall of the shell member. The shell member is then rotated in both the X and Y axis until the liquid acrylic resent has hardened causing the beads to be permanently attached to the inside wall of the hollow shell. An electrically powered light and light holder mounted in the interior of the hollow shell member causes the illumination of the color tinted crystal beads.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2012Publication date: August 1, 2013Inventor: Brian Earl Blatherwick

Publication number: 20100163400Abstract: The invention comprises a method of reactive-distillation which includes the step of distillation of the surplus light components and separation of the heavy phase components in the same vessel. This may be achieved by utilising a reactive-distillation column having a plurality of trays. A weir is provided on at least most trays and at least most weirs have sufficient height to enable a residence time of material on the tray at least double the residence time of a conventional tray in normal distillation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: William Brian Earl, Praveen Kumar Bhagat

Patent number: 7504992Abstract: A system and method for monitoring topological changes in a defined area. A grid of sensors is arranged in the area, with known distances between them. The sensors communicate wirelessly with a host computer, which individually addresses each sensor to instruct that sensor to be in an interrogate mode or responder mode. When a sensor is in interrogate mode, it measures distance from a neighboring sensor using radar (continuous wave phase difference) measurements. When a sensor is in responder mode, it receives, delays, and returns a signal received from a neighboring sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Southwest Research InstituteInventors: Michael Eugene Pilcher, Jr., Brian Earl Campion, Ben Allen Abbott

Publication number: 20080058947Abstract: A set of distal femoral knee prostheses which are designed to be more narrow in medial/lateral dimensions with increasing anterior/posterior size than existing prostheses to more closely correspond to the physical anatomy of female patients. The prostheses are designed to have a substantially trapezoidal shape or profile when viewed distally which features a more pronounced narrowing of the medial/lateral dimensions beginning at the posterior end of the prostheses and progressing anteriorly to the anterior end of the prostheses. Additionally, the prostheses each include a reduced profile patellar sulcus and reduced profile anterior condyles to more closely conform to the anatomy of a resected femur, and also include sulcus tracking optimized to conform to female anatomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Applicant: ZIMMER, INC.Inventors: Brian Earl, Abraham Habegger, Aaron Hofmann, Kim Bertin, Lawrence Dorr, Robert Booth, Aaron Rosenberg, Sergio Romagnoli
