Publication number: 20250140045Abstract: A computing system may be used for remotely calibrating a door lock. The system includes an application executable on a user device, a remote computing environment in communication with the user device, and a base station in communication with the remote computing environment and the door lock. The application allows a user to initiate calibration of the door lock in response to input on the user interface. The remote computing environment exchanges data with the user device to calibrate the door lock. The base station initiates calibration of the door lock and notifies the remote computing environment of the calibration status. By leveraging communication between the application, remote computing environment, and base station, the system allows reliable remote calibration of the door lock without requiring close physical proximity between the mobile device and the lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Harsha Kudoor, Kensly Plimouth, Ali Tawbeh, David Atkins

Patent number: 11881598Abstract: A module for interconnecting electrical components such as batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, and resistors. The module has a body for retaining the electrical components, and terminal bulkheads capable of coupling with the body. The terminal bulkheads have cavities that define fluid reservoirs when the terminal bulkheads are coupled with the body, and gaskets that seal the fluid reservoirs. Electrical contacts of the terminal bulkheads contact the electrical components within the sealed fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoirs are filled with a fluid such that forces applied to the electrical components are dampened, and oxidation of electrical connections is mitigated through displacement of oxygen. The fluid can also be selected to neutralize chemicals that may leak from the electrical components. The electrical contacts can be interconnected with conductor buses such that the electrical components are connected in series, parallel, or a mixture of both.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Inventors: Tanner Ober, Daniel Sieben, David Atkins-Apeldoorn, Rajiv Parmar, Roger Hull

Patent number: 9641951Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a system and method for binaural rendering of complex acoustic scenes. The system includes a computing device configured to process a sound recording of the acoustic scene to produce a binaurally rendered scene for the listener. The system also includes a position sensor configured to collect motion and position data for a head of the user and also configured to transmit said motion and position data to the computing device. A sound delivery device is configured to receive the binaurally rendered acoustic scene from the computing device and to transmit the acoustic scene to the ears of the listener. In the system, the computing device is further configured to utilize the motion and position data from the inertial motion sensor to process the sound recording of the acoustic scene with respect to the motion and position of the user's head.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2012Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: Joshua David Atkins, James Edward West

Patent number: 9634382Abstract: A portable antenna is disclosed that can be collapsed into, and erected from, a housing. There is also a pull cord mechanism arranged, when pulled, to cause the antenna to revert between the erect or collapsed configurations. The pull cord extends from the antenna to a position in easy reach of the soldier's hand so that the antenna can be erected/collapsed remotely.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: LEONARDO MW LTD.Inventors: Neil Pryor, David Atkins, David Hall

Patent number: 7275919Abstract: Corner seal sockets (26) are formed at the end of apex seal slots (58) formed in a rotor (10). A twisted split washer spring (70) is positioned in each socket (26) between the base wall (28) of the socket (26) and the inner end of the corner seal (16). The springs (70) bias the outer end surfaces of the corner seals (16) against the inner side surfaces of the housing sidewalls (20, 22). A radial apex seal slot (32) is formed in each corner seal (16). The base (38) of each slot (32) is substantially semi cylindrical in shape. It and the cylindrical peripheral surface (44) of the corner seal (16) form an arch shaped bight that connects side portions of the corner seals (16) together. End portions of the apex seals (18) extend into the apex seal slots (32) in the corner seals (16). The end portions of the apex seal biasing spring (60) contacts spring abutments (52, 54) which project radially inwardly from the outer ends of the apex seal (18).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2006Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Inventor: David Atkins

Publication number: 20060214374Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-symbol casino card game. The game is played with one or a plurality of 48 card decks consisting of 16 cards marked with one of three symbols or names. Bets are placed before an initial deal of three cards to each player and the dealer. After reviewing their cards, the players may exchange one or two cards and the dealer may exchange cards according to the house rules. A hand of one card of each symbol wins against other hands or ties another such hand. If the dealer receives or builds a three-symbol hand, his hand pushes against player built three-symbol hand. If the dealer receives a hand with three cards of the same symbol, his hand loses to player three-symbol hand, but wins if the player fails to build a three-symbol hand. Side bets may be placed offering players high returns contingent on being dealt a statistically unlikely or specific hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2005Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventor: David Atkins
