Patent number: 9171137Abstract: Systems and methods for managing digital rights settings are provided. In some aspects, the systems and methods described include receiving user input including an order for obtaining access rights to a media asset. Control circuitry determines whether the media asset is associated with a first package of media assets. The control circuitry cross-references a database of user order history to determine whether the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets. If the user has obtained access rights for each media asset in the first package of media assets, the control circuitry generates digital rights settings for each media asset in the first package of media assets to enable the user to create a mashup. The mashup includes portions of at least one media asset in the first package. The control circuitry generates a display based on the digital rights settings.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Amanda Mallardo, Matthew Pakulski, Jeffrey Gibson, Mycal Elliot, Michael R.

Patent number: 8246028Abstract: A telescopingly adjustable clamp for securing an object to a support may include an anchor rod with a plurality of circumferentially extending grooves which define at least one barrier wall. A positioning member defines a receptacle that receives a portion of the anchor rod and allows motion of the anchor rod relative to the positioning member in the receptacle. The positioning member includes a positioning tab that projects into the receptacle and is sized and shaped to be received in one of the grooves. The positioning member supports a clamping member that extends generally radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the anchor rod. Relative movement of the anchor rod and the positioning member changes the distance between the clamping member and the object.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Tyco Healthcare Group LPInventors: Harold Larkin, Jeffrey Gibson, Kirk Aubertine

Patent number: 7469462Abstract: An electronic control pedal assembly includes a fixed support structure and a pedal arm. The pedal arm has a lower end carrying a pedal and is pivotable relative to the support structure. A potentiometer is at least partly carried by the fixed support and operable to generate an electric control signal that varies in magnitude in proportion to the extent of movement of the pedal arm relative to the fixed support structure. The potentiometer has at least one resistive track trimmed after assembly of the potentiometer to the fixed support so that the potentiometer provides a first fixed electric control signal at a idle position of the pedal arm and the potentiometer has at least one resistive track trimmed after assembly of the potentiometer to the fixed support so that the potentiometer provides a second fixed electric control signal at a full throttle position of the pedal arm.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2005Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Dura Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Theodore Richardson, Kirk Nielsen, Richard Boatright, Jeffrey Gibson

Publication number: 20080022805Abstract: A locking mechanism for a shift lever includes a detent member movable along a path, a stopper member movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a cam member. A spring member resiliently biases the stopper member toward the locking position. An electromagnetic solenoid has a coil fixed to the cam member and a core fixed to the stopper member. The electromagnetic solenoid permits relative movement between the stopper member and the cam member when the electromagnetic solenoid is unenergized and prevents relative movement between the stopper member and the cam member when the electromagnetic solenoid is energized. The cam member applies a force to the stopper member to move the stopper member toward the unlocking position in response to movement of the detent member when the electromagnetic solenoid is energized.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2006Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: Brian Douglas Howe, Jeffrey Gibson, David A.
