Patent number: 10166908Abstract: A vehicular lamp cleaning system includes an isolation solenoid, an air reservoir and a discharge nozzle. The isolation solenoid is configured to be fluidly connected to the vehicular air tank of the vehicle. The air reservoir is configured to be fluidly connected to the isolation solenoid. The discharge nozzle is configured to be fluidly connected to the air reservoir. The discharge nozzle is also configured to (A) receive the pressurized air from the air reservoir, and (B) release and direct the pressurized air towards the exterior signal lamp of the vehicle. This is done in such a way that the pressurized air, which is released from the discharge nozzle, removes debris from the exterior signal lamp.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Inventors: Roderick Jones, Lawrence Gordon

Patent number: 8010996Abstract: A network device and method are directed towards providing a client side sign-in seal for use detecting phishing attempts. In one embodiment, a user of a client device may provide anti-phishing data through a sign-in setup user interface for a website, application, or the like. In one embodiment, the anti-phishing data is an image provided by the user. The user may also provide text, symbols, an audio clip, or the like. The user may also modify aspects of the image, text, symbols, or the like, such as a color. When the user accesses the website, application, or the like, the client device may provide client device data used to locate and display the sign-in seal. If the user is being phished, the anti-phishing data may not be displayed or otherwise played.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Yahoo!
