Patent number: 11571358Abstract: Described herein are interactive devices that mimic a portion of a human male and a female genitalia. The male device includes a unique bead drive assembly for providing an extending and retracting motion. Also included on the male device is a massager sub-assembly able to inflate and deflate while being able to slide along a shaft of the male device. The female device includes a clamshell constrictor having an inflation mechanism that is able to provide a squeezing motion as well as being able to slide back and forth within the body of the female device. Also disclosed herein are methods of communication and interaction between a pair of interactive devices or multiple interactive devices. Finally, methods of managing interactive sessions between multiple interactive devices are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Sparq Laboratories, LLCInventors: Erik J. Shahoian, John McCoy, Lawrence E. Miller, David P. Bim-Merle, Francois W. Brahic, Kuan Li, David J. Gutierrez, Michael K. Wong, Darrel Q. Pham

Patent number: 7859431Abstract: A traffic informational system provides information to traffic moving along a road and may include a plurality of traffic information devices mountable to the road, each having an integral power producing source, at least a first set of illumination sources, and a wireless communications subsystem. The traffic informational system may further include at least a first external control device comprising at least one antenna and a transmitter communication wirelessly with the traffic information devices and/or with one another. The traffic information device may communicate with one another, and may include sensor for sensing ambient conditions. The system employs various approaches to reducing power consumption and improving communications, and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including use in remote environments.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Spot Devices, Inc.Inventors: Timm Peddie, David P. Bim-Merle, Thomas A. Burnham, Daniel O. Santos, Lawrence E. Miller, Vineet Mehta, Johannes B. Van Niekerk
