Patent number: 11959867Abstract: A vessel includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a vessel identifier. The processor is configured to initiate a timer for a shelf life of a solution placed into the vessel. The processor is also configured to conduct a measurement of the solution using one or more sensors in the vessel. The processor is also configured to compare the measurement to a threshold for the solution. The processor is further configured to activate a solution indicator to indicate that the solution should be discarded responsive to a determination that the shelf life has expired or a determination that the measurement exceeds the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Jan Eduard Veening, Lambertus Gerardus Petrus van der Heijden, David Holden, Arnoud Gengler

Patent number: 11924990Abstract: A protective cover for a portable electronic device includes a support with a support element that includes a slot bounded by a forward surface and an opposed rear surface. The forward surface and the opposed rear surface are planar surfaces oriented parallel to one another and spaced apart a distance that enables the slot to receive peripheral edges of any of a plurality of differently configured devices from different manufacturers and having different capabilities. The forward surface and the opposed rear surface are located a single fixed distance apart from one another, enabling the slot to self-support the plurality of differently configured devices from different manufacturers and having different capabilities. The protective cover may include a keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: ZAGG IncInventor: David Gengler

Patent number: 11134580Abstract: A protective cover is provided to protect a portable electronic device, including a display surface that includes a display screen. The protective cover may include a computing accessory such as a keyboard. One or more magnets in the protective cover may be configured to align with magnets located in the portable electronic device. Upon placing the protective cover over the display surface, an attraction force between magnets can secure the protective cover, including the computing accessory, over the display surface. The magnets may be located proximate edges of the protective cover a portable electronic device, and the attraction force may be the primary or only mechanism for securing the protective cover in place. Optionally, the attractive forces pass through the display surface without also passing through a side or peripheral surface of the portable electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: ZAGG IncInventor: David Gengler

Patent number: 9301031Abstract: A multi-speaker audio system is configured to provide flexible use of speakers in any number of different environments. The multi-speaker system may include a stationary speaker unit and a portable speaker unit. The portable speaker unit may be operated in conjunction with, or separate from, the stationary speaker unit. When connected or otherwise used with the stationary speaker unit, the portable speaker unit may receive audio signals and pass at least some of the signals and/or corresponding data to the stationary speaker unit for output. When disconnected from the stationary speaker unit, the portable speaker unit may receive audio signals and output sound accordingly. The stationary speaker unit may also be able to receive audio signals and pass at least some of the signals or corresponding audio data to the portable speaker unit or output the data itself.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co., Inc.Inventors: David Gengler, Arthur Healey, Jeffrey King, Terence Hulsman

Patent number: 9227763Abstract: A computing system is provided with a portable electronic device, a computing accessory, and a multi-functional support accessory. The support accessory may provide a supportive configuration for supporting the portable electronic device in an upright, working position. The support accessory can also transition to a protective configuration for acting as a protective cover for the computing accessory. When the support accessory is in the protective configuration, the computing accessory can be inserted into, or otherwise protected thereby. When the support accessory is in the supportive position, the portable electronic device can be stabilized in an upright orientation by the support accessory.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co., Inc.Inventor: David Gengler
