Patent number: 10091660Abstract: An LTE preemption system may allow authorized users to access LTE spectrum when needed by the authorized users and allow commercial users to access the LTE spectrum when not in use by the authorized users. An authorized transmission unit may transmit noise in at least one of a primary synchronization channel, a secondary synchronization channel, or a physical broadcast channel. The noise may prevent commercial users from accessing the LTE spectrum. At least one of the primary synchronization channel, the secondary synchronization channel, or the physical broadcast channel may be offset by a known time or frequency, and authorized devices may utilize the LTE spectrum by searching for the channels at the offset locations.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: W5 Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Curt Cornils, Roger Dendy, Peter Emmons, Jason Ferguson

Patent number: 9868056Abstract: Interactive systems and methods for creating game and game-like applications are presented. A game system includes a content management system with access to game templates and a game content database, a plurality of REST application services, one or more user interfaces, an active game-play database, and a social reporting engine for collecting and storing user data in a user database. The game creation system includes access to external data feeds for tracking the progress and outcome of real-world events, such as sporting events. Games may be built using an editorial workflow interface for approving or rejecting game templates and game content. A crowd wisdom module analyzes game play and identifies the best answers over time, and a crowd guru module identifies players who perform well over time.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: ZCO ACQUISITIONS, INC.Inventors: Daniel G. Kehoe, David Sanchez Escobar, Jason Ferguson, Matthew Bryan Moseley, Andrew Rutter

Patent number: 8764117Abstract: A method of making a chair includes the steps of providing at least one female fastener device. The at least one female fastener device is inserted into a substrate for attaching the at least one female fastener device to the substrate such that at least a portion of that female fastener device's body defining a channel extends into the substrate and the projections extend through the substrate such that the distal ends of the projections extend beyond a second side of the substrate that is opposite a first side of the substrate. The distal ends of the projections are bent into the second side of the substrate. At least one male fastener is inserted into the channel of the at least one female fastener device to attach a chair component to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Knoll, Inc.Inventors: Hendrik R. van Hekken, Jason Ferguson

Patent number: 8216416Abstract: A method of assembling a chair includes providing a first chair component composed of a first polymeric material and a second chair component composed of a second polymeric material. An adhesive is positioned on or in the first chair component. The adhesive is composed of a third polymeric material and at least one ferromagnetic susceptor. The second chair component is positioned in engagement with the adhesive and adjacent to the first chair component. A magnetic field or electromagnetic waves are applied to the adhesive to activate the adhesive. A force is also applied to at least one of the first chair component and the second chair component to press the first chair component and the second chair component. A chair is also provided that includes the first and second chair components and the adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Knoll, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Allison, Khalid Masoud, Adam Deskevich, Jason Ferguson

Patent number: 5419250Abstract: A device for removing excess grease and juices from a cooked hamburger. The device includes a container having a bottom and sidewall which extends upwardly to define a container cavity, the periphery of the sidewall defining a rim. A handle is coupled to the sidewall remote from the container cavity. A cover having a top and integral sidewall extends downwardly to define a cover cavity, the periphery of the sidewall defining a rim. A handle is coupled to the sidewall remote from the cover cavity, and a hole is disposed through the top wall. A coupling component is for coupling the cover to the container. A draining plate having a plurality of draining holes therethrough is adapted to rest on the rim of the container between the cover cavity and container cavity when the container is coupled to the cover. A pressing component is disposed through the hole of the container and located within the cover cavity and is used to press a cooked hamburger against the surface of the draining plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Inventor: Jason Ferguson
