Patent number: 10724890Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a volume of liquor dispensed from a bottle may have at least one transparent substrate having a first side and an opposite second side. A shaded background is on the first side or second side and outlining at least one transparent bottle profile of a geometric shape of a bottle corresponding to a brand of liquor. In addition, at least one volume scale is on one of the sides of the substrate and the at least one scale is associated with the at least one bottle profile to measure a level of liquor in the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: CBENDER, INC.Inventors: Chad Louis Bender, Jonathan M. Contigiani

Patent number: 10527389Abstract: A photoluminescent capsule illuminator for a sighting device. The photoluminescent illuminator includes an elongated phosphor housing having sidewalls and a base. The photoluminescent illuminator includes phosphors in a granular form disposed inside the phosphor housing. The photoluminescent illuminator includes a cap sealing the phosphors in the phosphor housing. The phosphor housing is disposed in relation to a body of the sighting device such that photoluminescent light emitted from the phosphors exits the phosphor housing and identifies a location of a sight on the sighting device.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Defense Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Richard James Martin, Gregory Louis Bender, Thomas Wells Brignall, Jr., Henry John Richert

Patent number: 8479423Abstract: A photoluminescent device and a photoluminescent exit sign. The photoluminescent device includes a polymer matrix having a light-emitting exterior surface for emission of photoluminescent light therefrom. The photoluminescent device has a plurality of UV or visible-light excited phosphor particles included in the polymer matrix. The phosphor particles have a concentration greater in an exterior region of the polymer matrix proximate the light-emitting exterior surface than in an interior region of the polymer matrix. The exit sign includes at least two plates interlocked together with at least one typographical character disposed on the plates. The typographical character is formed from the polymer matrix containing the phosphor particles.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Afterglow, LLC.Inventors: Richard James Martin, Gregory Louis Bender, Thomas Wells Brignall, Jr., Herbert George Jones

Publication number: 20130027901Abstract: A method for passively illuminating an instrument face and a passively illuminated instrument. The method provides adjacent the instrument face a photoluminescent material encased in a polymer, exposes the photoluminescent material encased in the polymer to an activation source, and illuminates the instrument face by light emitted from the photoluminescent material. A passively illuminated instrument includes a photoluminescent material encased in a polymer and disposed adjacent the instrument face. Upon exposure of the photoluminescent material encased in the polymer to the activation source, the photoluminescent material emits light to illuminate the instrument face.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: Defense Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Richard James Martin, Herbert George Jones, Gregory Louis Bender

Patent number: 7000546Abstract: An underwater mine warfare countermeasure system is disclosed in which an air cushion vehicle carries a magnetic field generating system capable of generating a magnetic field pattern beneath the vehicle which extends sufficiently far from the vehicle in all directions to activate a magnetically responsive detonator in a mine while the vehicle is out of range of the explosive force of the mine. The magnetic field generating system generally is composed of a plurality of closed loop coils mounted on the deck of the vehicle, one coil being horizontal and in the plane of the deck, and another three being in vertical planes spaced along the length of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1992Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Textron Inc.Inventors: Gregory Louis Bender, James A.

Patent number: 3965888Abstract: A specimen holder is described for collecting and examining a specimen collected from a body. The holder includes a transparent adhesive coated foldable segment. The adhesive is used to collect the specimen and retain the back-folded segment against a flat transparent portion of the holder. Visual examination of the specimen can then be carried out directly through the transparent holder without transfer of the specimen to glass slides or the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1975Date of Patent: June 29, 1976Assignee: Brenner and Bender, Inc.Inventor: Louis Bender
