  • Publication number: 20150113878
    Abstract: A product includes a panel that can be used in place of a door in a cabinet. The dimensions of the panel are such that it covers the opening in the cabinet that was covered by the cabinet door. A pet door (e.g., an opening with a moveable flap or cover) is installed in a precut opening in the panel. A litter containment system (which includes a litter box or something else of similar purpose) can be placed inside the cabinet. A pet (e.g., a household pet such as a cat or dog) can reach the litter box or the like through the pet door. The panel includes features that allow it to be readily installed, removed, and re-installed, so that the pet owner can easily reach, remove, empty/clean, and replace a litter box or the like that is inside the cabinet.

  • Patent number: 8749361
    Abstract: A system and method of transmitting an authentication code includes automatically calculating a security code on a device executing a security program. The security program may periodically calculate a respective unique security code. In response to a user requesting the security code, the device automatically vibrates according to a pattern representing the security code. The pattern tactilely communicates the security code to the user.

  • Publication number: 20040111195
    Abstract: The invention includes a marine telematics system comprising a satcom unit on a boat, a user interface for the satcom unit, a web-based user interface for the telematics system, and a land-based center of operations. The land-based center of operations receives signals from the satcom unit on the boat about the location of the boat and sensor responses to detectable events. The marine telematics system is customizable through a web-based interface, allowing boat owners to provide information and instructions to the land-based center of operations for handling particular situations that may arise while the boat is in use or at dock. The web-based interface further allows boat owners to plan voyages by setting series of waypoints, and the land-based center of operations may assist the boat owners by providing feedback during their voyages based on the waypoint information previously provided by the boat owners.
