Patent number: 12257765Abstract: A protective film includes an adhesive material configured for “dry” application to a surface that is to be protected, such as the surface of an electronic device. An installation assembly that includes the protective film is configured to minimize or eliminate contact with the protective film as it is applied to the surface that is to be protected. Methods for manufacturing a protective film and an installation assembly that includes the protective film may be effected in contaminant-free conditions. Methods for applying the protective film are also disclosed, as are devices (e.g., electronic devices, etc.) with at least one surface covered with a protective film.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: ZAGG IncInventors: James McGuire, Robert G. Pedersen, II, Derek M. Smith, John W. Melville, Brian S. Packer

Patent number: 10453031Abstract: A method of creating spatiotemporal activity records for an education program may include determining a start of an activity. The method may additionally include tracking the activity to record at least one accomplishment or error achieved in the activity and at least one time/location indicator associated with the at least one accomplishment or error. The method may additionally include generating a spatiotemporal activity record that includes the at least one time/location indicator and the at least one accomplishment or error. The method may additionally include presenting at least a portion of the spatiotemporal activity record for review by a reviewer, receiving identification data of the reviewer as an indication that the reviewer has reviewed and understands the at least the portion of the spatiotemporal activity record, authenticating the reviewer as a service receiver, and verifying the spatiotemporal activity record as reviewed and approved by the service receiver.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: SNAPP STUDIOS, LLCInventors: Stephen Wright Clyde, David Allan Clyde, Brian G.

Patent number: 6709287Abstract: An electrical connection module is disclosed for electrically connecting electrical components disposed upon opposite sides of a module mounting component to one another. The electrical connection module comprises a rigid body with a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal engaged to the rigid body of the electrical connection module. The electrical connection module is to be fixedly mounted to the module mounting component (cable) with the first electrical terminal protruding from a second side of the module mounting component, through a passageway defined in the module mounting component, to a first side of the module mounting component. The second electrical terminal of the electrical connection module is disposed upon the second side of the module mounting component (cable). An electrical component is electrically connected to an electrical terminal of the electrical connection module at a point disposed upon one side of the module mounting component (cable).Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLCInventors: Charles D. Sims, Brian G. Smith, Stanley W. Larison

Patent number: 5465030Abstract: An improved means for triggering high voltage spark gap devices for current injection and pulse power applications which utilizes the high voltage source itself to trigger the discharge. A switch initially directs current flow from the high voltage source through a trigger resistor which creates sufficient potential difference between a primary electrode and the trigger electrode to fire the spark gap. A second blocking resistor inhibits current flow through the trigger electrode and directs the discharge through the load. The trigger circuit has very little influence on the discharge waveform due to the very high impedance of the resistor string.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventor: Brian G.
