Patent number: 10643062Abstract: A server system stores a database of records. Each record stores a digital image of a pet, facial recognition markers, and owner identification information. An owner may register his/her pet using a cellular telephone and a mobile app. The owner is prompted to supply a digital photograph of the pet and to enter eye and nose location information. The system generates therefrom facial recognition markers and stores the markers in a record. If a lost pet is found, a finding user can use a cellular telephone to take a picture of the animal and to enter eye and nose location information. The system generates markers and compares the markers in a facial recognition process to other stored markers to identify records of animals that resemble the lost pet. If the record of the lost pet is identified, then owner identification information in the record is used to contact the owner.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Finding Rover, Inc.Inventors: John Polimeno, Jason John Polimeno, Steven P. Callahan, John M. Schreiner, Rick S. Chang

Publication number: 20130273969Abstract: A mobile app causes a dog attention grabber button to be displayed on a touch screen of a wireless mobile communication device. The user presses the button, and in response the device generates a dog vocalization sound. In response, the dog looks in the direction of the device in an attempt to locate the origin of the sound. The user then presses a shutter button that is also displayed on the touch screen. As a result, camera functionality of the device captures a digital image of the dog. The user is prompted to manipulate the image, and to identify facial features in the image. If the collected information is deemed suitable, then it is sent (for example, by wireless communication and across the internet) to a destination under control of the mobile app for further use by a facial recognition and lost pet identifying system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Inventor: John Polimeno

Patent number: 7752686Abstract: A shower pan includes a draining base portion that drains to an orifice. The draining base portion includes a support structure for supporting a slab floor member (for example, a single piece of granite, marble, or engineered stone) above the orifice such that a planar upper surface of the floor member has a slight tilt. The pan is installed such that the tilt is toward a shower head. The shower enclosure is finished by cladding the enclosure walls with a finishing material (for example, granite, marble or engineered stone) such that the finishing material extends down into the pan. The floor member is placed on the support structure such that water from the shower head that falls on the floor member runs off one or more edges of the floor member and is conducted to the orifice under the floor member by a draining portion of the draining base portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2005Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Inventor: John Polimeno

Publication number: 20050279775Abstract: A non-catalyzed mixture of polyester resin and filler, in the proper proportions for use in the manufacture of cast resin articles such as cultured marble, is vacuum-packed into a novel airtight shipping and dispensing container. A container typically contains two to five hundred pounds of the resin/filler mixture. Rather than supplying resin and filler starting materials to fabricators as separate materials, the resin and filler starting materials are supplied in a pre-mixed condition in the airtight containers. In one embodiment, a fabricator uses a novel dispensing and mixing machine to extract a desired amount of non-catalyzed resin and filler mix from a container. The machine mixes a catalyst into the extracted mixture and the resulting catalyzed mixture is output from the machine. Efficiencies in the distribution and transport of the starting materials can be realized. Inventory control can be simplified. Quality and uniformity of the resulting cast articles is facilitated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2004Publication date: December 22, 2005Inventor: John Polimeno
