Patent number: 7908210Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods are disclosed that manage transactions and communication between car dealers and lenders. In one embodiment, the system lessens risks for lenders and makes relationships with dealers safer and easier to administer. In one embodiment, a dealer may utilize the system to manage its inventory, obtain and manage credit history information about potential customers, help customers apply for credit, transact credit applications and credit approvals with various lenders, submit applications to multiple lenders, select from among the accepting lenders, and manage forms used to complete a transaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Finance Express, LLCInventors: David Lynn Huber, Frederick Johnson Morgan, James Madison McCurry, Jeffrey Madison McCurry, David Stiles Moderi

Publication number: 20100313891Abstract: A respiratory mask for use with a patient, and that is suited for use with children, includes a flexible cushion arranged to interface with and deliver air to the patient's nose. The cushion has a tube connection portion at one or both sides adjacent the patient's nares, the tube connection portion being arranged to connect to an air delivery tube. This location, plus the very low profile of the mask, allows a patient (e.g. an infant) to sleep on their face more comfortably. A more rigid support structure adjacent the cushion is provided to stabilize the cushion and prevent it from collapsing. Headgear is also provided and arranged for releasable attachment to the support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Lee James Veliss, Carmel Therese Harrington, Philip Rodney Kwok, Philip John Gunning, Joshua Adam Gudiksen, Bart Jeremy Caffin, Richard Sokolov, Ian Frederick Johnson, Eric Siu

Patent number: 7795830Abstract: An electric motor (10) which includes an armature (11) with at least two armature phase pair windings (12) and salient pole rotor arrangement (15) having field windings (17) terminating in a selective electrical switch which determines the electrical continuity of said field windings (17). Also included is control means which is configured to regulate the magnetizing of the field winding (17) so that, at any given moment, one armature phase pair is usable for magnetizing the field winding while the other pair is responsible for torque production.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Elckon LimitedInventor: Michael Frederick Johnson

Publication number: 20100126412Abstract: A SMC lamination line is disclosed that has an upper carrier film and a lower carrier film with oriented chopped fibers being deposited between the carrier films. Resin paste or adhesive is provided to retain oriented fibers on the lower carrier film. A guide roller guides the carrier film in close proximity to an in-feed conveyor that feeds oriented chopped fiber unto the lower carrier film. The guide roller is preferably less than the diameter of the end roller of the feed conveyor. The guide roller is also preferably within the arc of movement of the ends of the oriented chopped fibers to ensure a smooth and non-disruptive transfer of the oriented chopped fibers to the lower carrier film.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Scott Dahl, Raymond Silva, James E.

Publication number: 20080042865Abstract: A dock monitoring device that provides a warning to dock workers and a lift truck operator that a hazardous condition exists if the distance from a parked load transport vehicle to the rear of a loading dock increases outside a preset “safe zone” distance, which is the maximum distance, with allowance for a safety margin, that can be spanned by a dock plate or ramp or “dock leveler” to the bed floor of the load transport vehicle. The invention uses a non-contact distance measuring sensor such as an infrared optical triangulation measuring sensor. An alarm will sound if the distance becomes greater than a preset “safe zone” distance. Significant events are logged, and a picture of the load may be taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: Dock Watch, LLCInventors: Jimmy Lee Shephard, Joe Wilson Wortsmith, Roger Frederick Johnson, James LeVaughn Varnedoe

Publication number: 20070288610Abstract: A system and method for managing, routing and controlling devices and inter-device connections located within an environment to manage and control the environment using a control client is presented. A user provides commands via the control client to a server that maintains a representation of the environment and the devices within the environment. The server provides commands to devices present within the environment in response to user commands and other events, including events from the environment. The commands cause the devices in the environment to adopt specific desired states thereby causing the environment and the devices within the environment to create desired connections by and between the devices and to otherwise control and effect the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Gordon Saint Clair, Frederick Johnson, Amy Badore, Charles Rotter, Kamal Shah
