Patent number: 11679403Abstract: A reusable, refillable airless fluid pump dispenser that is leakproof and designed specifically for travel. To operate the dispenser, the user presses an ergonomic depression on the top of the dispenser to engage the pump and cause a platform within the dispenser to rise, evenly distributing a fluid from the dispenser. The user can twist off the top and remove it from the body of the dispenser, which permits access to the interior of the dispenser to refill or wash as needed. The user may access the platform, raising it or pushing it back down to either adjust the amount of product they would like to fill or to reuse once product has been depleted. The attached outer cap of the top twists to lock, both blocking the nozzle from distributing any product and also preventing the top from depressing and engaging the pump.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Ries Ries IncInventors: Megan Graham, Samantha Rose, Lucas Zheng, Gary Chang

Patent number: 10572410Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that provide for communicating coexistence messages over a multi-drop serial bus. A data communication method includes configuring a common memory map at each of a plurality of devices coupled to a serial bus, receiving at a first device coupled to the serial bus, first coexistence information directed to a second device coupled to the serial bus, generating at the first device, a coexistence message that includes the first coexistence information, and transmitting the coexistence message to the second device over the serial bus. The first coexistence information in the coexistence message may be addressed to a location in the common memory map calculated based on a destination address associated with the first coexistence information and a unique identifier of the first device.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Helena Deirdre O'Shea, Lalan Jee Mishra, Richard Dominic Wietfeldt, Mohit Kishore Prasad, Amit Gil, Gary Chang

Patent number: 10417161Abstract: In a device comprising a serial bus and a plurality of devices, register/address mappings and/or unique group identifiers are used to convey additional information in messages/datagrams over the serial bus without explicitly sending such information in the message/datagram. Such register/address mappings may be done beforehand, and in conjunction with group-specific identifiers, may reduce transmission latency by keeping the size of the messages/datagrams small. Since all devices on the serial bus have prior knowledge of such register/address mappings and/or group-specific identifiers, recipient devices are able to infer information from the group-specific identifiers and/or register/address sent in each message/datagram that is not explicitly sent within such message/datagram.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Helena Deirdre O'Shea, Lalan Jee Mishra, Amit Gil, Gary Chang, Mohit Kishore Prasad, Richard Dominic Wietfeldt, Vinay Jain

Publication number: 20190246285Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a transmitter component, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The transmitter component may determine whether first information or second information is to be provided to a receiver component, wherein the first information includes a RAT identifier and the second information includes information regarding a transmit operation; and transmit a communication to the receiver component via a wireless coexistence interface between the receiver component and the transmitter component, wherein a particular portion of the communication is associated with a first value when the first information is to be provided, and wherein the particular portion is associated with a second value when the second information is to be provided. Numerous other aspects are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Francis NGAI, Shriram GURUMOORTHY, Olaf Josef HIRSCH, Sridhar BANDARU, Helena Deirdre O'SHEA, Gary CHANG
