Patent number: 10512845Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for manipulating an interactive gameplay of a mobile device in real-time based on a state of a physical environment in which the mobile device is located. Embodiments include receiving, from one or more sensor devices of the mobile device during an interactive gameplay of an application on the mobile device, data characteristic of operating conditions of the environment in which the mobile device is located. Once the application determines that data received from the sensors satisfies conditions configured on the application for each type of sensor device, embodiments determine whether to manipulate the interactive gameplay by querying a remote database for one or more gameplay effects corresponding to the data. Once a response identifying at least one gameplay effect associated with the data is received, embodiments manipulate the interactive gameplay based on the identified gameplay effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Nina Chai, David Feder, Thomas Dekeyser, Alif Khalfan

Publication number: 20140234406Abstract: The present invention provides novel compositions comprising a nutritional supplement containing vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) and other supporting nutrients (i.e., fat-soluble vitamins A and E) to be administered orally via capsules to human subjects for the prophylaxis and mitigation of hair thinning and hair loss in both men and women. Colloidal silicon dioxide functions to form a nanoparticulate suspension and acts as a viscosifier to thicken the oil(s) used in the capsule filling operation. The colloidal silica contains silicon which acts as a nutrient to help strengthen existing hair, and also functions as a microencapsulation agent, which can incorporate vitamins A and E into its porous structure by sonication.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: HairRxInventors: Stuart Lawrence Cantor, David Feder

Patent number: 5375385Abstract: A building facade material generally includes a plurality of elongate stone strips and a plurality of backing strips adhered thereto with an elastic adhesive disposed between adjoining backing strips for enabling front sides of the elongate stone strips to abut one another when the backing strips are adhered to a curved surface. A method for preparing a stone facade for a curved surface, in accordance with the present invention, generally includes the steps of adhering a sheet of backing material to a sheet of stone, thereafter cutting the stone sheet with the adhesive backing sheet into elongate stone strips with elongate backing strips adhered thereto. Thereafter, the elongate backing strips are adhered to one another with an elastic adhesive. In addition, the stone strips and the backing strips may be beveled for enabling the backing sheets to be disposed on a curved surface, while distorting the elastic adhesive in order to cause the front sides of the stone elongate strips to abut one another.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1993Date of Patent: December 27, 1994Inventor: David Feder

Patent number: 5325652Abstract: A building facade material includes a plurality of elongate stone strips held in an abutting relationship on a flexible mesh when in a plane with the flexible mesh enabling the strips to be adhered to a curved surface, with a V-shaped area between strips suitable for grouting, between adjacent elongate stone strips. The elongate stone strips have a thickness which enables the strips to be ground to an arcuate contour without exposing the flexible mesh. A color-matching settable material is provided for grouting the V-shaped areas between the elongate strips. The method for applying a stone facade includes the steps of adhering a plurality of abutting elongate strips of stone attached to a flexible backing over a curved surface, grouting the groutable spaces with a settable material and thereafter grinding the entire composite into a smooth, arcuate, non-seamed, solid-stone appearing arcuate surface or column.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1992Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Inventor: David Feder
