Patent number: 10747836Abstract: An automatic control system for regulating the information exchange between information producer and information consumer. One control mechanism can dynamically refine the decision to include or exclude information items from the consumer information stream to improve success metrics like participation. One or more system interface request control mechanisms can dynamically provide incentive and limits for the input of audience targets, priorities, preferences, and other data. An administrator may set parameters and select success metrics to balance the goals of the information exchange participants and stakeholders. The system can also serve to resolve conflicts between the selection criteria of a consumer and the audience targets of a producer.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: CYBERNETIC MEDIA SYSTEMS, LLCInventor: Brian David McFadden

Publication number: 20180225719Abstract: Methods and apparatuses useful for operating, regulating, and controlling an information exchange. For example, in a simplified description of one embodiment, mechanisms and methods are disclosed to dynamically determine from metrics for each information consumer an exchange value for each potential information item. Among other uses, the exchange value allows information items to be ranked and provides a component for dynamically determining, in conjunction with metrics, the bounds on a set of potential information items that may be included in the information stream of the information consumer. Further disclosed mechanisms and methods, for example, support broad dynamic control and automated operations of the information exchange.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2018Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventor: Brian David McFadden

Patent number: 8224892Abstract: An improved oven for use in a residence is described. The oven includes a cooking chamber, a programmable controller for executing program instructions, memory media for recording executable program instructions, and at least one controllable cooking system under control of the programmable controller, which provides a data-processing-controlled high speed cooking process which may be applied to food placed in the oven chamber. A plurality of cooking programs are recorded in the memory media of the oven. These define a plurality of high speed cooking routines available for use with the oven. A gateway server is communicatively coupled to the programmable controller. It manages the communication of digital content which is at least in-part related to operation and utilization of the improved oven. A broadband communication channel extends from a source of digital content, which is external to the residence, to the residence.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Turbochef Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Bogatin, Richard Caron, David McFadden, Bryan Connell, Carl Pryor, James K.

Publication number: 20080105133Abstract: A speed cooking with improved gas flow by-pass mechanism for radiant cooking mode. A speed cooking oven with radiant mode is disclosed comprising a cooking cavity, a controller, thermal heating source, blower assembly, air directing means, a vent assembly and a single door gas by-pass system. Hot gas is circulated by the blower motor assembly into the oven cavity where the hot air is directed in a manner wherein a conflicting, colliding turbulent gas flow is directed at a food product providing for the rapid cooking of food products. Alternatively, a single movable door may be utilized that operates between an open position wherein gas flow exhausts from the top of the oven or in the closed position wherein gas is diverted through a conduit and back to the blower mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Applicant: TURBOCHEF TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: David McFadden, David Bolton
