Patent number: 11939064Abstract: A reclining seat including, but not limited to, a seat bottom; a seat back, a leg support, and an arm support forming a seat assembly. The seat assembly is configured to be supported on a floor surface and to move between an upright configuration and a flat configuration. The seat back and the leg support are transverse to the seat bottom, and the arm support is transverse to the seat back, when the seat assembly is in the upright configuration. The seat back, the seat bottom, the leg support and the arm support are each longitudinally aligned with one another when the seat assembly is in the flat configuration.

Patent number: 8427900Abstract: A method of deploying a seismic recorder array on a seafloor is disclosed. The seismic recorder array comprises a plurality of removable seismic data recorders. The method comprises the step of forming the seismic recorder array by connecting a plurality of recorder housings in series, wherein adjacent recorder housings are connected by a connector cable. The recorder housings are configured to retain the removable seismic data recorders. The method comprises the step of loading the plurality of removable seismic data recorders in the recorder housings, and lowering the seismic recorder array into water until the seismic recorder array is positioned on the seafloor underlying the water. The method comprises the step of operating the seismic data recorders to detect seismic signal reflections and to record seismic data representing the reflections.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Inventors: Thomas J. Fleure, Craig Lindberg, Ralph B. Muse, Joe Davis, Damir S. Skerl, Justin N. Farrelly

Publication number: 20090078323Abstract: My inventive property is a tool to expel residual liquid from larger diameter hose, pipe or any other defined tubular conduit such as Fire Hose or Lay Flat PVC Hose, therefore dramatically reducing the weight of said conduit prior to retrieval and defined storage. All prior art fails to solve problems with reducing the time and labor required to remove residual liquid from said conduit without lifting the entire length to a point above the end (“Walking Out”) so gravity can remove residual liquid or by using a roller on the entire length of said conduit. My inventive property is comprised of five essential parts; a Gas Containment Vessel, a Safety Relief Valve, a Gas Fill Valve, a Gas Outlet Control Valve and a Final Stage Outlet Conduit Connection Adaptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventor: Billy Joe Davis

Patent number: 7487474Abstract: An integrated circuit is designed to improve yield when manufacturing the integrated circuit, by obtaining a design element from a set of design elements used in designing integrated circuits. A variant design element is created based on the obtained design element, where a feature of the obtained design element is modified to create the variant design element. A yield to area ratio for the variant design element is determined. If the yield to area ratio of the variant design element is greater than a yield to area ratio of the obtained design element, the variant design element is retained to be used in designing the integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2003Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: PDF Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Ciplickas, Joe Davis, Christopher Hess, Sherry Lee, Enrico Malavasi, Abdulmobeen Mohammad, Ratibor Radojcic, Brian Stine, Rakesh Vallishayee, Stefano Zanella, Nicola Dragone, Carlo Guardiani, Michel Quarantelli, Stefano Tonello, Joshi Aniruddha

Publication number: 20070272785Abstract: The invention provides a unique winding device specifically for lay flat style hose. The winder rotates either clockwise or counter clockwise via center supporting axis shaft inserted into a universal mounting bracket. Depending on the placement or spacing of described pins into the supporting bar, plurality of spacing options allow for any connector size, style, width, type or configuration of hose to be centered and wound in any standard or custom method. The hose winder produces tightly wound circular coiled lay flat types of hose in end-to-end or center-first (referred herein as “firefighter” style) with ends exposed and adjustable for any size or style of hose connectors. The wound hose can then be simply and easily pulled from the winding device in a tightly wound coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2006Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventor: Bill Joe Davis
