  • Patent number: 11700842
    Abstract: A vehicle fishing rod holder with a rod holder body that is couplable to the bed of a truck in a locked configuration utilizing one or more mounting brackets. The rod holder body defines a holding channel for a fishing rod and a discontinuous slot for receiving a rod reel post of the fishing rod. A locking bar is coupled to the rod holder body and is operably configured to selectively lock the rod and reel into place by being positioned over the rod reel post. The rod holder body is also vertically adjustable using a clamping member and rotationally adjustable or pivoted using one or more arms.

  • Patent number: 11548447
    Abstract: A truck bed divider assembly with a horizontal dividing member operably configured to extend and retract longitudinally to directly couple with sidewalls within a truck bed and with a vertical dividing member disposed in a substantially perpendicular orientation with respect to the horizontal dividing member and operably configured to selectively, removably, and lockably couple to the horizontal dividing member with one or more fasteners and to linearly translate on the horizontal dividing member while coupled thereto, thereby enabling organization within the bed of a truck or other vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9928674
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for automatically operating an electronic lock based on a user profile of a user are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include receiving an indication of the user changing a state of the electronic lock. The method may further include storing information associated with the user changing the state of the electronic lock. The method may further include generating, by a processor, the user profile based on the information associated with the user changing the state of the electronic lock. The method may further include determining, by the processor, that the state of the electronic lock should be changed based on the user profile. The method may further include automatically changing the state of the electronic lock when it is determined to change the state of the electronic lock based on the user profile.

  • Publication number: 20120089911
    Abstract: A bookmarking system is described for allowing users to bookmark audio and video content for sharing with other users. The system allows the bookmark to be generated with minimal user involvement, making the process as easy to use as the bookmarking of websites on a computer device. A disambiguation server is provided to disambiguate the content to be book-marked. The disambiguation server uses information from various sources to provide a number of candidates for selection by the user. Historical data and the bookmarks of other users can also be used to aid the disambiguation process.

  • Patent number: 4908597
    Abstract: Connectors with capacitors or resistors built in are very expensive and a custom design requires a considerable lead time. By building a circuit in modular form so that it connects to a standard cylindrical connector, both the cost and lead time are reduced drastically. Modules containing a variety of frequently used circuitry can be kept in inventory for at-will and immediate association with any standard circular connector, as desired. By having a variety of adapter collars in stock that mate with various kinds and constructions of cylindrical connectors, the suppression modules may be connected to a variety of differently constructed connectors. Many different configurations for the electrical circuitry in the module are possible. Many different configurations of the circuit module and interface collar are possible and can be designed to accommodate almost any connector configuration.
