Publication number: 20200378415Abstract: A clamp includes first and second legs pivotally and crosswise attached to one another, with a closing mechanism connected to both legs. The closing mechanism includes an anchor body having a threaded bore engaged with a threaded screw. A distal end of the threaded screw engages a drive body. Two drive-body links each have a first end engaging the drive body and a second end engaging one of the first and second legs at link joints so that when the drive body is urged in a distal direction by the drive screw, the respective first ends and the respective second ends are urged together. The clamp may form part of a computing device stand with a base arm connected to the clamp, a main arm connected to the base arm, and a device-receiving attachment operatively connected to the main arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2020Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Kurt Dammermann, Joshua Funamura, K.

Patent number: 8335335Abstract: A headset comprises two earphones joined together by a band which can be worn over the head of a wearer. Each earphone includes a noise plate, which functions to attenuate or eliminate noise from the environment such as a tournament gaming environment. The noise plate includes an aperture through which a boom assembly that houses a microphone may engage to transmit utterances of the wearer to audio processing circuitry. A grille can be exposed when the noise plate is removed, which allows sounds produced in the ambient environment to enter the earphone.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Astro Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Jordan Reiss, Kurt Dammermann, Joshua LaTendresse, Adam Barry, Dana Krieger, Brett Lovelady

Patent number: 7724281Abstract: A method facilitating the transfer of information from a media or data capture device to a larger device while providing valuable feedback about the transfer is described. A transfer device including a simple user interface that can be easily implemented on a media or data capture device provides feedback about the transfer operation, enabling the user to take action when necessary. For example, the user is advised if the transfer is complete or, alternatively, that the transfer has failed and needs to redone. Feedback is provided by visual signals and may also be accompanied by audible signals. All necessary transfer functionality is included on the media capture device, thereby avoiding the requirement for dedicated software on a host (or pipeline) device, such as a cellular phone. This expands the number of pipeline devices that can be utilized with particular media capture devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Syniverse ICX CorporationInventors: Alan M. Vale, Kurt Dammermann, Robin G. Petravic, Timothy W. Genske, William G. Swinton, Eric O. Bodnar

Patent number: 7463904Abstract: A versatile adaptor device to connect together devices having built-in connectors or receptacles for interfacing with other devices is described. Many devices include built-in connectors, which usually consist of proprietary fittings and pinouts/lineouts. The adaptor device connects with the built-in connectors of two devices to enable communication between the two devices. Each end of the adaptor fits physically and electrically with the connectors to join both devices. The body of the adaptor is a double-ended molded plastic part that includes geometry to mate with a particular connector slot at one end and another specific connector slot at the opposing end. The adaptor device may be adapted to connect various different types of devices. For example, the adaptor accommodates connection to an array of brands and models of cellular phone devices at one end of the adaptor and an array of digital cameras at the other end of the adaptor.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: LightSurf Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric O. Bodnar, Robin G. Petravic, Alan M. Vale, Kurt Dammermann, Stephen J. Fricke, Steven A. Luzovich

Patent number: 6378255Abstract: An adjustable apparatus includes a partition having upper and lower horizontal frame members, and first and second support panel subassemblies adjustably attached to the partition for adjustably supporting a horizontal panel, such as a shelf. Upper and lower brackets each include a U-shaped section that mateably vertically adjustably engages a rear edge of the associated vertical support panel for providing vertical adjustability. Screws secure the U-shaped section at a selected height to the associated vertical support panel. The upper and lower brackets each further include an attachment flange section with hooks shaped to horizontally adjustably engage slots in the respective horizontal frame members. The upper and lower brackets are selectively attachable to the partition in a plurality of positions including off-module positions located between side edges of the partition. At least one horizontal shelf or worksurface extends between, is attached to, and is supported by the support panel subassemblies.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Steelcase Development CorporationInventors: Thomas B.
