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

Publication number: 20210131781Abstract: An example distance measuring apparatus is provided. The example apparatus may include a housing having an aperture, a reel assembly, a measuring tape, a touch control, an audio output device, an audio input device, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a touch control signal and initiate a measurement acquisition session, receive verbal measurement audio data from the audio input device, perform a speech recognition analysis on the verbal measurement audio data to determine measurement data, and store the measurement data 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 Cunningham

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
