Publication number: 20250343403Abstract: A charging cable management assembly can be part of a stationary vehicle battery charger for furnishing charge to vehicle batteries of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), as an example application. In an implementation, the charging cable management assembly has a cable support arm and a spring. The cable support arm moves about a pivot relative to an associated stationary vehicle battery charger during use. The cable support arm can move between a home position and a fully deployed position, as well as to less-than-fully deployed positions therebetween. The spring exerts a return biasing force to the cable support arm for bringing the cable support arm back to its home position after deployment and for keeping it there.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2024Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Dale Smith, Daniel Scales, Lorenzo Caprotti

Patent number: 11733047Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide for production of geographically located, accurate indoor maps of physical spaces and provide navigation guidance for users in physical spaces, and process requests for users related to available physical space within said physical spaces. Aggregated information about the physical spaces is curated and converted using automated procedures into a data model that contains all elements of said physical spaces, including geographic data about the physical space's location on the globe. The system and computer program embodiments retrieve the converted data, load it on mobile devices or computers, rendering it on these devices in the correct global geographic context, allowing users to interact with the data to select rooms, and send and receive requests to and from external systems regarding these selections. Users navigate within the physical spaces using mobile devices and the computer program embodiments in tandem to provide accurate directions and guidance.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: LOKION INTERACTIVE, LLCInventors: Christopher Fitch, Sam Lee, Kevin Yancy, Vaskin Kissoyan, Mike O'Hearn, Dale Smith, Douglas O'Brien, Patrick Miller, Marcus Stafford

Patent number: 11366883Abstract: Methods and systems for deploying an enhanced processing system that performs reflection based endpoint security testing are described herein. A computing system may determine, by performing reflection on a web server library, controller types corresponding to an API. For each of the controller types, the computing system may determine method information objects corresponding to the respective controller types. Based on calls to an endpoint method for each of the one or more method information objects, the computing system may determine endpoint failures associated with the API. The endpoint methods may correspond to each of the one or more method information objects. Based on the determined endpoint failures associated with the API, the computing system may adjust one or more endpoints of the API.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Scott William Burnette, Dale Smith

Patent number: 8052559Abstract: A tensioner for a power transmission system includes two tensioning arms operatively engaged with the strand of the chain or the belt of the power transmission system. The upper end of each tensioning arm is connected to a two way damper which is pivotally mounted between the upper ends of the tensioning arms. When a pre-determined chain tension overload threshold is reached, the amount of torque required to overcome the coefficient of friction the damper allows the tensioner to adjust the tension in the chain with minimal oscillations and minimal phase change variation.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Mark M.
