  • Patent number: 10192382
    Abstract: A method for replicating a transponder key is disclosed. A first device reads a transponder code from a transponder key; captures bitting characteristics of the transponder key; and transmits the transponder code and the bitting characteristic of the transponder key to a remote location. An internet compatible device receives the transmitted transponder data and communicates it to a transponder duplication device at the remote location.

  • Patent number: 6194519
    Abstract: The present invention relates to low-cost, efficiently-manufactured, polymer-based products useful as roofing shingles and similar products. The inventive shingles are weatherproof, inexpensive to manufacture and durable, particularly as contrasted with conventional shingles in areas of the country subject to hail damage. The invention also includes a method of making such shingle products. In a preferred embodiment, products of this invention use rubber material as the polymer base in combination with specific types of polyolefins. The rubber material can be most efficiently provided by the use of crumb rubber particles from spent automobile tires and other recycled rubber debris which are readily available and of very low cost. The products will have an average life far greater than that of current commercial roofing shingles, which are made using fiberglass or asphalt.
