Publication number: 20080126270Abstract: The disclosure relates to an investment risk minimization system involving a venture capital investor and a venture needing investment from the venture capital investor. In such a system, an exemplary method can include providing an investment to a venture having an intellectual asset, and receiving a security interest in the intellectual asset. The security interest secures an ownership right upon failure by the venture to meet established parameters. Further, if the venture receiving the investment fails to meet the established parameters, the method includes obtaining an ownership interest in the intellectual asset, valuing the intellectual asset, and transferring the intellectual asset to a charitable organization.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2008Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventors: JAMES E. MALACKOWSKI, David A. Kennedy, Roger L. May

Patent number: 7331666Abstract: An eyewear having a frame, at least one temple attached to the frame, and a radio frequency transceiver for short-distance wireless communication. The radio frequency transceiver is mounted on either the frame or the temple and is configured to form an ad hoc wireless network with a plurality of devices. The radio frequency transceiver communicates with these devices within a frequency band of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz).Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Q.R. Spex, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Swab, James E. Malackowski, Mikal Greaves, Rolf Milesi, Christiaan Ligtenberg, Thomas Meier

Patent number: 7181200Abstract: An information fulfillment system and method for providing information to a caller having a wireless communication device. Upon receipt of sensory prompting and manual or automatic input of access codes to the wireless communication device, the caller's identity and the input access code are verified. Thereafter, the call is connected through the PWN and along the PSTN to the system messaging or fulfillment center for automatic or live-operator delivery of the requested information. Automatic verification, connection, and billing modification processes are provided for implementation of the system and method.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2004Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Inventors: James E. Malackowski, Kristi L. Stathis

Patent number: 6929365Abstract: A wireless ad hoc pico network is formed by eyewear and other devices such as a computer, a bracelet and a telephone having similar transceivers mounted on them. Master slave relationships are configurable. Other devices, such as a radio, a CD player, a hand held global positioning satellite system and a heart rate monitor, having similar transceivers, can also be connected with the transceiver of the eyewear. The transceivers operate on globally available, unlicensed radio band, 2.45 gigahertz (GHz) and conforms to the Bluetooth standard. The power consumption of Bluetooth enabled devices is less than three percent of the power consumption of a mobile phone. The eyewear includes a frame and connected to the frame are two temples. Temples are connected to frame via hinges. Temples have a male portion of a connector incorporated in them. Female portion of the connector is made integral with the hinges. When the male portion is inserted in the female portion the temple is attached to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Q.R. Spex, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Swab, James E. Malackowski, Mikal Greaves, Rolf Milesi, Christne Ligtenberg, Thomas Meier

The eyewear includes a frame and connected to the frame are two temples. Temples are connected to frame via hinges. Temples have a male portion of a connector incorporated in them. Female portion of the connector is made integral with the hinges. When the male portion is inserted in the female portion the temple is attached to the frame. The temples can be removed by pulling the connector apart, and a temple with different apparatus within it can be inserted in place of the removed temples. The temple may have co-molded within its body, an apparatus such as an audio device, a camera, a speaker, and a microphone, and a display device such as liquid crystal or an alarm.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2003Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Q.R.
