Patent number: 8638218Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for wireless takeover of wired alarm system components. Embodiments of the invention can be used to bridge hardwired alarm zones for use with a wireless alarm controller. Wired sensors are wired to a takeover module that converts communication from the wired sensors into wireless communication that can be compatibly processed at an alarm controller that accepts wireless signals. Power and ground connections from an existing wired alarm controller can be used with the takeover module to facilitate wireless takeover of wired alarm sensors.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: 2GIG Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Scott Harris Simon, Lance Leo Dean

Patent number: 6062162Abstract: A protective garage mat with integral parking alignment device for protecting a surface from oil spills while concurrently providing vehicle parking assistance. The floor mat includes a reinforced rubber mat having ribs/channels for retaining a pre-determined quantity of oil. The floor mat is formed with a coupling at the fore end for mounting a parking alignment indicator such as an upright pole having a reflector or signal light mounted thereon. The pole is supported in the mat by the coupling for pivotal movement upon being contacted by an advancing vehicle. An optional electrical circuit may electrically actuate a signal light to provide a visible alerting signal for a driver of the advancing vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1998Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Inventor: Lance Leo Dean
