Patent number: 10529202Abstract: The motion detector alert device comprises a detector unit and an annunciator unit. The detector unit comprises a threaded base and a threaded socket. The threaded base of the detector unit screws into a motion sensing light fixture in place of the bulb. The bulb screws into the threaded socket. The detector unit monitors electrical energy passing from the motion sensing light fixture to the bulb and transmits a signal when the light fixture energizes the bulb. The annunciator unit may be located inside of a building. Responsive to reception of the signal sent from the detector unit, the annunciator unit may produce an audible sound to alert occupants of the building that motion has been sensed outside.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Inventor: Frank Baker, Jr.

Patent number: 7790641Abstract: The invention provides a sheet material comprising bicomponent filaments having first and second polymer components that are arranged in substantially distinct zones within the filaments, with the first polymer component formed of a relatively lower melting polymer and the second component formed of a relatively higher melting polymer. The filaments of the nonwoven fabric layer are densely arranged and compacted against one another to form smooth, substantially nonporous opposite outer surfaces, and the nonwoven fabric layer are calendered such that the lower melting sheath polymer is fused to the contacting surface portions of adjacent filaments to impart strength and coherency to the nonwoven fabric layer. The sheet material has excellent breathability and liquid barrier properties and may be useful in house wrap, medical garments, and envelope applications.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2006Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Fiberweb, Inc.Inventors: John Frank Baker, Jr., Gregory W. Farell, Shannon Schoppman

Publication number: 20080298674Abstract: An imaging system for producing stereoscopic panoramic images using multiple coplanar pairs of image capture devices with overlapping fields of view held in a rigid structural frame for long term calibration maintenance. Pixels are dynamically adjusted within the imaging system for position, color, brightness, aspect ratio, lens imperfections, imaging chip variations and any other imaging system shortcomings that are identified during calibration processes. Correction of pixel information is implemented in various combinations of hardware and software. Corrected image data is then available for storage or display or for separate data processing actions such as object distance or volume calculations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2008Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: Image Masters Inc.Inventors: Robert G. Baker, Frank A. Baker, James A. Connellan

Publication number: 20080023385Abstract: In one embodiment, a nonwoven filtration medium is provided comprising substantially continuous sheath/core bicomponent filaments arranged to form an open, porous, fluid permeable spunbond nonwoven fabric. The core component of the filaments comprises polyester or polypropylene and the sheath component comprises polyethylene having a melting temperature less than the melting temperature of the core component and including an organic antimicrobial agent incorporated therein. A multiplicity of bond sites are distributed uniformly throughout the fabric and defined by regions where the lower-melting sheath component has softened and flowed together at filament cross-over locations, with the individual being filaments spaced apart from one another except at the filament cross-over locations. The spunbond nonwoven fabric preferably has a thickness of about 10 to 40 mils and an air permeability from 150 to 270 cfm/ft2/min.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2006Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: John Frank Baker, Jr., John M.

Publication number: 20060003529Abstract: A non-volatile memory (NVM) cell, which uses a storage dielectric as the storage element, has a top dielectric between a gate and the storage dielectric and a bottom dielectric between a semiconductor substrate and the storage dielectric. The top dielectric includes a relatively thick and high k dielectric layer and an interfacial layer. The interfacial layer is very thin and has a higher k than silicon oxide. The bottom dielectric layer is preferably silicon oxide because of its interfacial and tunneling properties. The cell thus has benefits resulting from a well-passivated, high k top dielectric in combination with a bottom dielectric of silicon oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2004Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventor: Frank Baker
