Patent number: 8803766Abstract: A large scale LED display has a cable and rigid link support structure for a number of LED modules. The cable and rigid link support structure is flexible but has sufficient structural integrity to prevent misalignment of the pixel modules. The LED modules are removable from the support structure individually and as a group so as to facilitate repair of the display. The LED modules are rugged so as to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and they provide sufficient luminescence for use in sunlight.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Inventors: Daniel S. Kline, Matthew W. Shankle, David F. Cox, James C. Lee, Sam R. Sarcia

Patent number: 8648774Abstract: A large scale LED display has a number of display panels each having a cable and spacer support structure for a number of LED modules. Adjacent display panels are connected together by a number of seam links that snap onto one cable of one of the display panels and one cable of the adjacent display panel. The cables may include a number of seam link engagement members spaced along the length of the cable and onto which the seam links snap wherein each of the seam link engagement members locates an LED module on the support structure. The LED modules include top and bottom housing sections that snap together, wherein one of the housing sections includes a seat for an electrical connector. The seat locates the connector and a printed circuit assembly within the LED module.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2008Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Inventors: Daniel S. Kline, Matthew W. Shankle, David F. Cox, James C. Lee, Sam R. Sarcia

Publication number: 20130289484Abstract: The fluid infusion system is disclosed that includes a pump housing that has a reservoir cavity and is designed to be pocketable. The reservoir cavity has a rim and helical coupling features formed on an interior face of the reservoir cavity. The fluid infusion system further has a reservoir that is removable from the reservoir cavity and the reservoir also has an open end. A removable cap coupled to the pump housing is also included in the fluid infusion system. The cap has corresponding coupling features, an exterior surface and a tab. The corresponding coupling features are defined to couple the cap to the pump housing while the tab is defined as a ridge that extends away from the exterior surface. The tab further has a port to accommodate fluid flow from the reservoir where the port defines an axis of rotation such that torque applied to the tab about the axis of rotation disengages the coupling between the cap and the pump housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: Afshin Bazargan, Sheldon B. Moberg, Kevin Lee Bokelman, Daniel S. Kline, Steven Masterson

Patent number: 8558755Abstract: A system distributes data in a robust manner to a large scale LED display formed of a number of display panels. The system includes a plurality of data hubs wherein each display panel is connected to at least two data hubs to receive redundant pixel data for each pixel of the panel. Each data hub is further connected to at least two panels of the display to provide pixel data for each pixel of the panels to which the data hub is connected.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2007Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Inventors: Hamid Kharrati, Robert J. Sefton, Sheldon Lee Black, Daniel S. Kline, Anthony D. Barghini

Publication number: 20130267811Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present embodiments provide sensor applicators and methods of use with pushbutton activation that implant the sensor, withdraw the insertion needle, engage the transmitter with the housing, and disengage the applicator from the housing, all in one smooth motion. Some embodiments contemplate engagement of the transmitter with the housing after release of the applicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Jack Pryor, Sebastian Bohm, David DeRenzy, Jason Halac, Daniel S. Kline, Phong Lieu, Adam J. Livingston, Steve Masterson, Paul V. Neale, Peter C. Simpson, Antonio Joao Ubach
