Publication number: 20240096191Abstract: Described are techniques for corroborating anomalous behavior. The techniques include training devices included in an Internet of Things (IoT) mesh network to independently identify occurrences of anomalous behavior in a proximate physical environment. The techniques further include receiving event data from at least a portion of the devices in the IoT mesh network corresponding to a time window, where the event data reports occurrences of at least one type of anomalous behavior. The techniques further include corroborating the at least one type of anomalous behavior to determine that the occurrences of the at least one type of anomalous behavior indicate an anomalous event that meets a reporting threshold for providing notice of the anomalous event. The techniques further include generating a notification regarding the anomalous event.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kevin W. Brew, Michael S. Gordon, Mattias Fitzpatrick, Brian Paul Gaucher

Patent number: 11895956Abstract: A plant stake and display tag holder for use with a nursery container such as a pot or free-standing planter. The display tag is attached to the container and is accessible and visible to the consumer without obstruction from the container or plant contained therein. The bottom of the plant stake inserts into a slit in the rim portion of a nursery container and locks into place to hold the plant stake upright and securely in place. The display tag is held above the soil line and avoids the common problems associated with display tag holders inserted below the soil line.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Orora Visual LLCInventors: Julie Ellis, Kevin Fitzpatrick

Publication number: 20230408240Abstract: A trim square may include abase and a triangular main body defined by a first leg and a second leg that form a right angle at an intersection therebetween, and a third leg extending between distal ends of the first and second legs. The base may be operably coupled to the main body via a retention element at one of the first leg or the second leg. The main body may extend in a first plane, and the base may extend in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane. The base may be movable relative to the main body in the second plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Brendan Walsh, KEVIN Fitzpatrick

Publication number: 20210131782Abstract: An example distance measuring apparatus is provided. The example apparatus may include a measuring tape with distance measurement indicia, a camera, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to cause the camera to capture an image of the measuring tape, and determine a measurement by analyzing the captured image. The measurement may be determined based on the distance measurement indicia of the measuring tape within the image at a measurement position. The processing circuitry may be further configured to store the measurement in a memory device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2018Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Tobias McKay Bridges, Kay Randolph Ligon, Kevin Fitzpatrick, Vlad Petru Patrangenaru, Ian Cunninggham

Patent number: 9220377Abstract: A dispenser comprises a liquid piston and a gas piston coupled for movement. The pistons are mounted for movement relative to one another to define a mixing chamber therebetween. An actuator simultaneously moves the pistons in a first direction such that the air piston delivers air from an air chamber to the mixing chamber and the liquid piston delivers a liquid from a liquid chamber to the mixing chamber where the air and liquid are mixed in the mixing chamber to create a foam. Movement of one of the air piston and the liquid piston is stopped such that the pistons move relative to one another such that only air is delivered to the mixing chamber. The movement of the pistons in a second direction draws residual foam from a delivery tube and delivers the residual foam to the air chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: RUBBERMAID COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Kevin Fitzpatrick, Emil Vulcu
