Publication number: 20210282548Abstract: A desk system including desktop, legs, and foot elements is presented. Each leg is rotatably attached at one end to the desktop and attached at another end to one foot element which is also rotatable. The system is disposed in a stowed configuration when legs and foot elements are substantially parallel to the desktop and legs are disposed between and substantially parallel to foot elements. The system is disposed in an upright configuration when legs are substantially perpendicular to the desktop and each leg is substantially perpendicular to one foot element. The system is configured from stowed to upright by separately rotating legs about a minor axis in opposite directions away from one another and by separately rotating foot elements about a major axis in opposite directions toward one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Daniel Goldberg, Robert Levine, Jedediah J. McCann, Gregory T. Janky, Treasure Hinds

Publication number: 20140091121Abstract: A combination container and support assembly allows a cyclist to maintain an advantageous aerodynamic position using aerobars while also permitting access to liquid within the container. The support assembly has a body from which pivoting legs extend. Clips at the ends of the legs attach the assembly to the aerobars. A bracket is attached to the body, the bracket holding the container. The container has a streamlined form and has a drinking tube extending therefrom toward the cyclist. A collar is positioned on the container and allows additional accessories to be mounted on the combination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: PENGUIN BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Bridgit Lombard, Canice Harte, Gregory T Janky, Treasure L Hinds

Patent number: 7783423Abstract: An improved position determination system and method are described. The method includes determining that a failure to generate an acceptable GNSS position fix has occurred. In response to determining that the failure to generate an acceptable GNSS position fix has occurred, terrestrial positioning information is accessed which is derived from at least one broadcast signal. A second position fix based upon the terrestrial positioning information is generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: Rajiv Kumar Verma, Clifford Chow, Gregory T. Janky, Dennis Workman

Patent number: 7627427Abstract: One embodiment in accordance with the invention can include a controller that can be coupled with a position determining component, and a motion detecting component. In one embodiment, the motion detecting component detects motion of a valuable movable item and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, causes the position determining component to determine the geographic location of the valuable movable item. A determination is made as to whether the geographic location is within a pre-defined zone. In response to the determination, a command can be generated for controlling the valuable movable item.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: Mark Nichols, Gregory T. Janky, Dennis Workman

Publication number: 20090200983Abstract: An electric power generator for use in recharging a storage cell is provided. The electric power generator comprises an energy captor coupled with a shipping container, wherein the energy captor is configured to capture energy from a motion of the shipping container. An energy converter is coupled with the energy captor, wherein the energy converter is configured to generate electric power from the captured energy. The electric power generator further comprises a power projector configured to send the electric power to a storage cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2008Publication date: August 13, 2009Inventors: David Dyer, Gregory T. Janky, Paul Willms

Patent number: 7453355Abstract: A method and system for controlling an electronic device is described. The method includes programming a device controller with a location and/or time to define a geo-temporal zone according to the location and/or a window of time, and to select a device function that zone. A device state, which includes the current time and the device position, is then monitored. Upon determining that the device state corresponds with the defined geo-temporal zone, the device is controlled to execute the selected function. The function can relate to selectively enabling or disabling some or all of the device capabilities, power management, and others.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: Ami Bergstrom, Gregory T. Janky, Dennis Workman

Patent number: 7415355Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for controlling an electronic device. In one embodiment, a controller is coupled with a position determining component, and a motion detecting component. In one embodiment, the motion detecting component detects motion of the electronic device and generates a signal to the controller indicating the motion. The controller, in response to the signal, causes the position determining component to determine the geographic location of the electronic device. The geographic location is compared with a pre-defined zone and, in response to the comparing, a command is generated for controlling the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: Gregory T.
