Patent number: 11963624Abstract: The present system is used for metered dispensing of bulk material. The system includes a hopper containing the bulk material, a base supporting the hopper, and a gate removably interposed between a hopper outlet and a base outlet. The gate rotates between positions either allowing or preventing flow of the bulk material from the hopper outlet to the base outlet. An impeller is located inside of the hopper, extending from an inner surface of the hopper to agitate the bulk material before, during, or after dispensing to ensure the hopper outlet is not blocked.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Fasteners for Retail, Inc.Inventors: Christopher A. Harrell, James P. Ihrcke, Jeff Koss

Publication number: 20230306103Abstract: A system is disclosed for pre-registering authentication devices. A security key provider system may receive a request to pre-register a security key with identified applications from an enterprise. Responsive to receiving the request, the security key provider system instructs the security key to generate a unique authentication code for each of the applications. The security key provider system may generate pre-registration information based on the authentication codes and pre-register the authentication codes of the security key to the applications by providing the pre-registration information to the applications on behalf of the enterprise. The security key provider system may instead provide the pre-registration information to the enterprise to allow the enterprise to pre-register the authentication codes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Jakob Ehrensvärd, Christopher Harrell, Jerrod Chong

Patent number: 11574136Abstract: An authorization device having an activation module and a wireless interface is configured in a non-enabled mode. In the non-enabled mode, the wireless interface is configured to receive data, and the authorization device is configured to block a request received via the wireless interface to interact with the authorization device. The activation module detects an activation operation. In response to detecting the activation operation, the activation module configures the authorization device in an enabled mode. In the enabled mode, the authorization device is configured to process a request to re-configure the authorization device received via the wireless interface, and to transmit authorization information to a reader device via the wireless interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Yubico ABInventors: Jesper Mikael Johansson, Christopher Harrell

Patent number: 11517125Abstract: This merchandising tray system is capable of adjustment for width and depth to accommodate any size of shelving unit. Within the system, a rear tray base is slidably connected to a fore tray base, allowing for adjustment of the depth of the system on the shelf. A merchandise pusher is continuously slidable within a fore pusher track in the fore tray base and a rear pusher track in the rear tray base. Right and left fore sidewalls are removably mounted to the fore tray base, allowing for lateral expansion of the system. Rear sidewalls are slidably extendable from the fore sidewalls, allowing for further alteration of the depth of the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Process Retail Group, Inc.Inventors: Terrence G. Berglund, James P. Ihrcke, Christopher Harrell

Patent number: 11317737Abstract: The present invention is merchandising tray system. Within the system, a tray top plate is slidably mounted to a tray base plate, allowing the tray top plate to be extended beyond the edge of the shelf to which the system is mounted. A plurality of sidewalls are removably mounted to the tray top plate, allowing controlled expansion and contraction of the width of the system supporting products. A support arm is slidably extendable from the tray base plate, allowing the system to be mounted along any depth of the shelf.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Process Retail Group, Inc.Inventors: Terrence G. Berglund, James P. Ihrcke, Christopher A. Harrell
