Patent number: 11479031Abstract: A printing assembly may include a first continuous cylinder and a first jogging assembly. The first continuous cylinder may be configured to apply print media to a flexible substrate responsive to contact with the flexible substrate. The first continuous cylinder may include a plurality of partitions configured such that only one of the partitions is aligned for contact with the flexible substrate at any given time, and each of the partitions may have a unique print characteristic associated therewith. The first jogging assembly may be operably coupled with the first continuous cylinder to move the first continuous cylinder along an axis thereof to change alignment of the partitions relative to the flexible substrate.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: APEX BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Benjamin David Kemp, Graydon Alecander Carpenter

Patent number: 11316981Abstract: Techniques are described herein for routing customer support requests via a vertical stack queue. The techniques may include receiving a request for customer support from a user device and identifying a group of agents available to serve the request. The group is associated with a stack queue, and the request is routed to a first level of contact queue pool that includes the group. Upon determining whether a wait time associated the stack queue at the first level of contact queue pool exceeds a predetermined threshold, an additional group of agents to serve the request is identified in addition to the group of the plurality of groups of agents. The group and an additional group of agents are distinct from each other. Upon identifying the additional group, the request is routed to a second level of contact queue pool that includes the additional group of agents.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Wu, Eric Barr, David Kemp

Publication number: 20210178109Abstract: A pressure regulating device for use with a breathing assistance and/or resuscitation apparatus, which conveys gases along a gases pathway to a patient, includes a mounting for connecting the pressure regulating device to a first outlet in fluid communication with the gases pathway. The mounting holds a valve member that selectively blocks, at least in part, the first outlet. A control member can be manipulated to adjust a property of the valve member. The valve member at least partially blocks the first outlet when the pressure of gases in the pathway is below a selected level, and allows at least a portion of the gases to flow out of the first outlet when the pressure of said gases is above the selected level. The property includes a selected level of pressure whereby manipulation of the control member adjusts the level of pressure between a maximum level and a minimum level.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2021Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventor: David Kemps

Patent number: 10244067Abstract: A web service gateway system includes a host application execution environment including one or more processors, a memory, and a gateway interface configured to receive a gateway copybook input from a host application. The gateway copybook includes input data including a pointer identifying a memory location of a request structure copybook, and output data including a pointer identifying a memory location of a response structure copybook. A gateway program receives the gateway copybook from the gateway interface and invokes a proxy web service with a request using the request structure copybook. The proxy web service maps data from the request structure copybook to web protocol format data, and invokes a target web service with the web protocol format data. The gateway program returns to the gateway interface a response that is based upon a response the gateway program receives from the proxy web service and uses the response structure copybook.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: State Farm Mutal Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Bradley David Kemp, Larry Gregory Turilli, Tracey Ann Boll, Matthew Stephen Ayers

Patent number: 10206062Abstract: A user installs a hotspot alert application on their mobile device. The application employs the location technology of the user device to transmit the location of the device, and thus the location of the user. The location can be transmitted to a server located in a hotspot tracking system. By establishing the location of the user, the server may search for hotspots on a database stored on the system. The server establishes the dimensions of a hotspot zone around the user's location and transmits the hotspots and the zone dimensions to the application on the user device. The application monitors the location of the user device and deliver's configured alerts to the user when approaching a hotspot. When the device leaves a zone or remains idle for a configured amount of time, the device requests and receives an updated zone of hotspots.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Hossein Attar, Ilia Tulchinsky, Aaron David Kemp, Andrew Wahbe, Jerred James Costanzo
