  • Patent number: 10000143
    Abstract: A debris catching system for positioning against a typical child seat used in vehicles uses a pair of panel members, each disposed against one of the sides of the child seat and cinched to the base of the child seat via a pair of strap systems with a third strap system stabilizing the panels against a medial section of a back member of the child seat. Each panel has one or more pockets to catch and hold debris therein with the panels and their pockets being made from a moisture impervious material. An optional panel can be attached to each of the above panels and slide with respect to such panels so as to be raisable to help block sun and other unwanted light from shining onto the occupant of the child seat.

  • Patent number: 9418080
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for improving functionality of a smart device to perform mobile structured collection and transformation of data includes instantiating an ATAK Session Object having multiple Session Object Attributes including a geo-specific location attribute having a geo-specific location attribute value. The method then updates the geo-specific location attribute of the ATAK Session Object to reflect a geo-specific location and links an Image Object with the ATAK Session Object to create a Linked ATAK Image Object. Next, the method instantiates an Observational Record Object (ORO) having an ORO attribute value reflecting an observation instance at the geo-specific location. Finally, the method creates a Linked ORO by linking the ORO with the Linked ATAK Image Object. The present invention also includes an apparatus and system for performing the above method.
