Publication number: 20240071187Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium for alerting emergency personnel. Using a mobile device, a signal is transmitted to a control hub, the control hub in wireless communication with a server. In response, the signal then transmits from the control hub to a designated switch of a light fixture in the user's home, for example, wherein the light fixture is activated into a flashing mode such that a visible, flashing display of light is presentable external to the home of the user to the emergency personnel. Concurrently, the signal from the mobile device then transmits from the control hub to a 911 call center; and, optionally, the signal can be transmitted over the server to a third-party emergency contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Christopher WALTON, Robert M. STONE, David CASTEEL

Patent number: 11109547Abstract: Disclosed is a growing system that includes a hollow grow tower with planting units configured to hold plants disposed on the tower exterior where the planting units have a passage that extends into the tower interior. The tower also includes a drain port at one end and a water-dispensing nozzle at the other end. The nozzle includes outlet apertures in fluid communication with the interior of the tower where one or more of the nozzle outlet apertures may be square. An enclosure surrounds the tower, and one or more light sources are mounted on the enclosure to direct light towards the tower. The tower and enclosure can be connected to a suspension frame that suspends the entire system off the ground. The system may include a closed-loop irrigation system and a multi-tank cleaning system. System variables, such as water flow, temperature, lighting, and water nutrient level can be computer controlled.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: HYPERPONIC, LLCInventors: Douglas Fyvolent, Richard Carroll, Steven Allen Craig, Christopher Walton

Patent number: 9132882Abstract: A steering and suspension mechanism for a motorbike, scooter, bicycle, skateboard or other two wheeled, in-line, vehicle, incorporating a steering axis rake that is inclined to the vertical, in a direction that is upwards and forwards from the ground in the normal direction of travel, together with a trailing radial arm suspension, in combination. Steering may be effected via a push rod attached to the handlebars, which in turn pivot on the main chassis. A brake calliper may be pivoted on the wheel axle, with a link to the steering head assembly to prevent rotation of the calliper with the brake disc under braking. This link may be parallel or nearly parallel to the radial arm. The exact angle can be chosen to control ‘dive’ due to weight shift under braking.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Inventor: Robert Christopher Walton
