Patents by Inventor Eugene Byrd

Eugene Byrd has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12064659
    Abstract: The present invention is related to sports training devices and, more particularly, to an arm training device for use in running related sports. The purpose of the invention is to hold the arm as close as possible at a 90 degree angle while running. The device comprises of a pair of poly-elastic webbing that is attached to both arms. The device is connected by a central segment. The central segment is attached to the lower wrist and upper bicep crease by buckles that the webbing is inserted through and then attached by Velcro releasable hook and loop fastening material to create a loop. The loop can be adjusted to fit most arm and wrist sizes. The poly-elastic webbing holds the arm at approximately a 90 degree angle while running. As result of the elasticity of the material, the arm will move forward and backwards faster while improving speed and technique.

  • Patent number: 9391055
    Abstract: Power modules with reduced parasitic inductances are provided. A power module includes a first substrate including a first electrically-conductive layer and a second substrate including a second electrically-conductive layer. These substrates may be stacked on each other. A scalable network of power switches may be arranged on the substrates. Power bars may be connectable to the electrically-conductive layers through electromechanical interfaces at selectable interface locations. The locations and/or type of interface may be selectable based on the arrangement of the switches. The first and second electrically-conductive layers may be disposed on mutually opposed surfaces of a dielectric layer having a thickness chosen to effect a level of coupling between respective source and return current paths provided by the electrically-conductive layers.

  • Publication number: 20150295719
    Abstract: Esigningday electronic signature and processing database follows the same path established by the NCAA for legitimizing the signature process of the NLI and scholarship letter, with the added speed of electronic processing. The Esigningday electronic process in secure and valid according to the Federal E-Sign Act of 2000, which states that electronic signature are equivalent to written signatures. Since the process is electronic, data is available in real-time. This feature allows coaches, athletic administrator and the conference office the ability to access instant details regarding the acceptance of prospective student-athletes instead of waiting for paper documents to be returned.
