Patent number: 11301914Abstract: Four main sets of features designed to improve the apartment rental and listing process are discussed: (i) improved visualization of listings for renters using clustering, especially for mobile; (ii) landlord transaction flow and support; (iii) cross-checking of data using user-initiated third-party web data; and (iv) maintenance flow and support. The clustering approach provides visualization of dynamically developed clusters from available listings; rapid (re-)computation of clusters as the map is adjusted by users; and representation of all matching listings in the region in a cluster or as a single entry cluster at all times.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: RentPath Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Doug Wormhoudt, Blake Pierson, Bryan Zachary Dilks, Serena Keith, Erik Preston, Samuel Bolgert

Patent number: 8469381Abstract: A bicycle is provided having a frame with a seat tube and a bottom bracket coupled to one end of the seat tube. A pedal crank shaft is operably coupled to the bottom bracket. A motor is coupled to the bottom bracket and operably coupled to the pedal crank shaft. A battery is removably coupled to the frame and electrically coupled to the motor. A seat having a seat post is removably coupled to the seat tube, wherein the battery is disposed to remain coupled to the frame when the seat post is removed. In another embodiment, a sleeve is positioned with in the seat tube and the seat post is slidingly disposed in the sleeve. In another embodiment, the bicycle includes a clamp having a plurality of clamp pads that engage the seat post to hold the seat in the desired position.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Cycling Sports Group, Inc.Inventors: Christopher P. Dodman, Erik Preston Eagleman, Zachary David Krapfl

Patent number: 4093503Abstract: A method for fabricating very narrow superconducting metallic lines on a substrate using ion-implantation and etching techniques. The method permits lines to be produced which are much smaller than those fabricated by conventional masking and etching techniques. It makes the fabrication of very small Josephson and other superconducting devices possible. Also since lines are formed in metals, they have high conductivity, so are useful as ordinary conductors at high temperature or when the technique is utilized with non-superconducting materials. The method includes the steps of depositing a selected metal film on a substrate, applying a photoresist or other masking pattern and exposing, etching away the exposed region, ion-implanting the edge of the resulting pattern, removing the photoresist and etching away the unimplanted portion of the metal leaving an ultra-narrow line pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1977Date of Patent: June 6, 1978Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Erik Preston Harris, Robert William Keyes
