Patent number: 10150397Abstract: A housing structure has a top wall, a pair of tracks and a lid. The top wall has an opening above a storage compartment therein. The opening has a first edge portion. A section of each of the tracks extends along opposite sides of the opening. The lid includes an end portion and a flexible portion. The flexible portion has lateral edges that extend into respective ones of the pair of tracks for selective sliding movement along the pair of tracks between a fully closed position blocking access to the storage compartment, a fully open position exposing the storage compartment via the opening and a plurality of intermediate positions between the fully closed position and the fully open position. The end portion defines a concave leading end. With the lid in a first intermediate position, the concaved leading end and the first edge portion define a cup holder space.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventor: Jorge Sotelo

Patent number: 8824989Abstract: Implementations are directed to predicting signal degradation at receivers used to display a programming service. The receivers capture signal strength data that is then transmitted to a processing location, which may be associated with a provider of the programming service. A signal degradation detector at the provider operates to predict whether or not a future unacceptable signal quality will occur within a time interval. The prediction may be based on a test quantity calculated from signals captured at the receiver and based on a figure of merit for the geographic locale in which the receiver is located. A maintenance call may be initiated for those receivers that have such a poor signal quality.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: EchoStar Technologies L.L.C.Inventors: Robert J.V. Jackson, Tianhua Zhang, Moutaz Elkaissi, Hao Nguyen, Jorge Sotelo, Wendell Blackman, Greg Goldey

Patent number: 8808800Abstract: Electrochemical fabrication processes and apparatus for producing single layer or multi-layer structures where each layer includes the deposition of at least two materials and wherein the formation of at least some layers includes operations for reducing stress and/or curvature distortion when the structure is released from a sacrificial material which surrounded it during formation and possibly when released from a substrate on which it was formed. Six primary groups of embodiments are presented which are divide into eleven primary embodiments. Some embodiments attempt to remove stress to minimize distortion while others attempt to balance stress to minimize distortion.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Microfabrica Inc.Inventors: Ananda H.
