Patent number: 8050809Abstract: The present invention is directed to the remote control of locomotives, and more particularly to various methods and apparatus employed in implementing systems for such remote control. Contemplated in the present invention are systems and methods for not only reliable remote-control communications, but also the use of repeaters and communications servers to assure reliable, centralized communication between locomotives and operator control units. In another embodiment, there is described a reliable distributed communication mode using an uncorrelated time sequence that does not interfere with a time division multiple access network. Differentiation between the centralized mode and the distributed mode is accomplished by assessing whether a locomotive and control unit is within a rail yard's infrastructure. Moreover, reliability is assured using a coordination server that dynamically routes packets between multiple satellite RCL repeaters based on received signal strength.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: GE MDS, LLCInventors: John A. Geiger, Thomas C. Mayo

Publication number: 20090064245Abstract: An enhanced on-line collaboration system is provided for subset of users viewing the same broadcast presentation at the same time. Each session is initiated by a single user sending a session request to a collaboration server. The request identifies members of a proposed subset and the broadcast presentation that is to be the subject of the collaboration. The request may also include an initial user collaboration input. The collaboration server establishes a final subset of available users and forwards any user collaboration input to broadcast redistributors associated with members of the final subset. Subsequent collaboration inputs from members of the final subset are forwarded to broadcast redistributors and appear as graphic or text overlays on the broadcast display seen by members of the final subset.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Dennis Facemire, Douglas John Geiger, Michael C.

Publication number: 20060130632Abstract: A resonator assembly includes a resonator, a collector-amplifier, as well as a timbre tray, one or more timbre pieces, and a detector holder. The resonator assembly, designed to be attachable to a conventional acoustic guitar, improves the quality and volume of the conventional guitar. A wood or metal timbre piece or a varying combination thereof may be used according the user's sound preference. The resonator, the collector-amplifier, the timbre holder tray and the detector holder are preferably made from thin brass.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2004Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventor: John Geiger

Publication number: 20060048625Abstract: A sound enhancing device for F-hole stringed instruments, banjos, and drums. The device includes at least one cross-shaped element and a timbre square, which may be part of a larger, user-constructed sound emitter. Strung like beads along a fastener, one or more cross-shaped elements and timbre squares are arrayed between a bridge and terminal retainer. In one embodiment, the cross-shaped element and timbre square are juxtaposed, forming a sound emitter which is mounted within an F-hole instrument's sound chamber; the bridge, positioned above it and astraddle opposing F-hole side edges, collects inaudible sound surface waves and transmits them through the fastener—a knot-free, waxed string under tension—to the sound emitter. There sound waves are amplified by constructive interference, timbre characteristics added, and sound waves transferred into the sound chamber's air. The latter then increase the sound surface waves at the F-hole's edges, setting up a positive feedback loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventor: John Geiger

Patent number: 5857003Abstract: There is provided a detection process for a digital radio which receives a multistate baseband signal comprising removing the low frequency information content of the baseband signal and subsequently restoring the low frequency information content to provide a conditioned baseband signal for detection so as to provide automatic frequency control for the radio on a manner avoiding loss of the low frequency information content of the baseband signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1995Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Aria Wireless Systems, Inc.Inventors: John A.

Patent number: 4976386Abstract: A bicycle carrier adapted to be interconnected with a camper unit of the character that is typically mounted on the bed of a pickup truck. The bicycle carrier of the invention is uniquely designed to be pivotally mounted on one rear corner of the camper unit and to automatically swing away from the back the camper when the camper door is opened.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1989Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Inventor: John Geiger

Patent number: 4697945Abstract: An improved binder for sheet material. The binder includes a cover or backing member formed of paperboard or plastic, and a pair of hinge assemblies are attached to the inner surface of the cover. A standard binding mechanism is interconnected between the hinge assemblies and serves to retain the sheet material. Each hinge assembly includes a metal hinge plate that is secured flatwise to the cover by a plurality of stamped out prongs. Each prong is generally triangular in configuration and is provided with a curved pointed tip. The prongs have a length substantially greater than the thickness of the backing member and when embedded by pressure, the configuration of the prongs causes the prongs to curl within the cover, so that the prongs are completely embedded in the cover and not exposed on the outer surface of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1985Date of Patent: October 6, 1987Assignee: Majestic Industries, Inc.Inventor: John A.
