Publication number: 20240078524Abstract: A networked and computerized system is disclosed for providing funding allocations, savings, and discounts to certain individuals at the time of purchase from a retail outlet. Specifically, savings and discounts may be provided to SNAP recipients (such as products not eligible for SNAP discounts) by manufacturers when certain products are purchased. The individuals eligible for such discounts are determined based upon the payment information and/or based on their eligibility under the SNAP program. Manufacturers may provide credits back to the retailer as compensation for the savings and discounts. Discounts can be taken at the time of purchase or may be transferred to another account. Funding allocations may be provided to a digital wallet of a qualifying consumer to assist with the purchase of qualifying products. Funding allocations may be made by manufacturers before the purchase transaction takes place, such that no credit need be provided to the retailer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: David Lidman, David Newton, Jack Newton, Keith Lapointe, Greg Segall

Patent number: 11616844Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic and digital building block system includes modular electronic building modules that can be electrically coupled together to create various different electronic devices. In addition to physical electronic modules, the system can include digital building blocks to further enhance and integrate the functions of an assembled bit-system that can be created/assembled by a user of the block electronic building system. The digital building blocks are not a physical module, but digital content or other software or cloud applications that can be represented as virtual digital blocks, and that can interface with the physical modules. The digital blocks can provide integration between the functionality of the physical building blocks and functionality of computer-based and/or web-based applications, programs and systems. The electronic and digital building block system can include a system program and a visualizer that can be viewed on the display of a computer device.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Sphero, Inc.Inventors: Aya Bdeir, Alin Cosmanescu, Sean Schumer, Stanley Okrasinski, Andrew Tergis, Kristin Salomon, Edward Bear, Julio Liriano, David Newton, John Perkins, David Sharp, Sameer More, Paul Rothman

Patent number: 11291599Abstract: Inflatable mattress apparatus includes a mattress provided with a plurality of inflatable cells (A, B); a manifold unit (V1-V4) connected to the plurality of cells, wherein the manifold (V1-V4) couples the cells into a plurality of individual sets of cells; and a control unit connected to the manifold, the control unit being operable to provide substantially simultaneous inflation and deflation of cells (A, B) in each set of cells over a period, and time offset inflation and deflation of cells in different sets of cells. The apparatus can provide the same benefits of a 1 of 2? system with reduced movement of the entire surface at any point in the cycle, less air moving at any given time and thus a reduction in the audible noise produced in any pump supplying the air and the associated airflow in the mattress. The arrangement provide other benefits too.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: HUNTLEIGH TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventor: Michael David Newton

Publication number: 20210192604Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for completing sales to a consumer with a new card that combines the process of dispensing pre-purchased commodities from a customer account at the point of sale as well as the ability to complete the transaction with a credit and debit function. The present invention includes a distributed system having at least a part for sales of a commodity and at least one a part for dispensing of a commodity. The distributed system includes a communication connection between the parts. A first entity uses the first part of the distributed system to sell commodities to a consumer to be dispensed at a later time. The consumer obtains the commodities in differing amounts from the amounts sold from a second entity. The second entity uses the second part of the distributed system and the communication link between the first and second parts of the distributed system to verify amounts available to be dispensed to the consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: Future Partners LLCInventors: David Lidman, Jack Newton, Donald Maggioli, Brendon Albrizio, David Newton

Publication number: 20210047043Abstract: An active vibration control system (AVCS) and method for reducing motion and/or vibration of a seat frame within an aircraft includes vibration sensors, a controller, and force generators. In some embodiments, the vibration sensors and/or the force generators are attached to the seat frames. In other embodiments, the vibration sensors and/or the force generators are attached to aircraft structures, proximate to the seat frame. By monitoring the motion and/or vibration of the seat frame, the controller calculates a cancelling force to be generated by the force generators to reduce the vibration experienced by the seat frame and its occupant. Such seat frame vibration control can be implemented as a separate AVCS in an aircraft, or can be integrated in an existing AVCS that is also configured to provide vibration control in other parts thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2019Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Paul Black, David Newton, Douglas Swanson
