Publication number: 20170368343Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to provide a patient suffering from at least one communication and memory impairment with positive stimuli. In one of such embodiments, the method includes obtaining data indicative of a current condition of a first patient. The method also includes determining, based on prior patient data of the first patient, a first stimulus that triggered a positive response from the first patient while the first patient was in a condition similar to the current condition. The method further includes providing a first recommendation for the first patient to experience the first stimulus for display on an electronic device. The method further includes receiving a first response triggered by the first stimulus. The method further includes storing data indicative of the first response in a storage medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Paula Marie Jones, Jeffrey Griffin Jones, Saba Ahmed, Hood Harcourt Whitson, Lauren Dunlap Whitson, Brian Scott Youngblood

Patent number: 7416336Abstract: Reclosable bags having a slider-actuated string zipper and tamper-evident features. In one aspect, the bag comprises: a receptacle having a mouth and an interior volume; a string zipper installed in the mouth; a slider mounted to the string zipper; a membrane depending within the interior volume to block access to a portion of the interior volume when the string zipper is open; and a hood joined to the receptacle and shrouding the mouth. The membrane is made by forming a gusset. Then a string zipper is installed inside of the gusset and heat sealed in place. Later a hood or shroud is attached to the bag walls at an elevation traversed by the gusset panels. A layer of non-sealable material is applied on a surface of a gusset panel to prevent the gusset panels from being sealed together when the hood is heat sealed to the bag walls.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Basil C. Linton, Gregory H. Crunkleton, Jeffrey Griffin

Publication number: 20070032194Abstract: A wireless communications device that sends and receives presence status information is configured to detect when it is proximate a predefined zone. A receiver in the wireless communications device receives presence information from a transmitter associated with the predefined zone. The presence information defines a new presence status for the wireless communications device, and may include an indicator associated with the new presence status. Upon receipt of the presence information, a controller in the wireless communications device automatically changes the current presence status of the wireless communications device to the new presence status, and publishes the changed status to a remote entity. If the new presence status is not defined in memory, the controller may add the new presence status to memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2005Publication date: February 8, 2007Inventor: Jeffrey Griffin

Patent number: 5395004Abstract: A quick-on cap (10) is provided for engaging a filler neck (22). The cap (10) includes a closure for closing the mouth of the filler neck (22) and a gripping mechanism for gripping the filler neck (22) to establish a fuel vapor seal between the closure and the filler neck (22). The closure includes a core (18) and a sleeve (14) that is movable relative to the core (18). The sleeve (14) carries a sealing ring (34) that is configured to seal against the filler neck (22). The gripping mechanism is coupled to the core (18) and sleeve (14) and grips the filler neck (22) to compress the sealing ring (34) between the sleeve (14) and the filler neck (22) in response to movement of the core (18) relative to the sleeve (14) in a cap-installation direction. The closure also includes a handle cover (12) coupled to the core (18) to make it easy for a user to move the core (18) relative to the sleeve (14) in the cap-installation direction an amount sufficient to actuate the gripping mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1992Date of Patent: March 7, 1995Assignee: Jeffrey GriffinInventors: Jeffrey Griffin, Robert S.

Patent number: 5271438Abstract: A filler neck includes an internal tube that is movable to open and close the filler neck. The movable tube is formed to include a fill passageway that extends therethrough and is configured to deliver fuel from a fuel-dispensing nozzle to a vehicle fuel tank when the filler neck is open. The "moving" fill passageway is closed when the filler neck is closed and opened when the filler neck is opened. An inlet opening into the moving fill passageway is formed in an outer end of the movable tube and an outlet opening for discharging liquid fuel from the moving fill passageway for delivery to the fuel tank is formed in an inner end of the movable tube. A fill passageway closure member is appended to a filler neck conduit and positioned to lie in a filler neck vent passageway in spaced-apart relation to the mouth of the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1992Date of Patent: December 21, 1993Assignee: Stant Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Griffin, Robert S.

Patent number: 5154448Abstract: A layered label for containers and the like. The label has for the outermost layer, a thin scratchable surface that when scratched, reveals a contrasting color below. By scratching through the surface of the label, one may legibly write information on the label. The label allows consumers to conveniently record information on an article with a fingernail and therefore without the need for a writing implement. The label may be a single layer of scratchable coating over a contrasting color on the surface of the container, or it may be three layers, in which the scratchable coating is the top layer applied over a base label of contrasting color with pressure sensitive adhesive and a peel away backing on the bottom layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1991Date of Patent: October 13, 1992Inventors: Jeffrey Griffin, Claudia Griffin
