Patent number: 6654959Abstract: A leather baseball glove that complies with the code of rules for baseball has a front face of two suede leather material portions, each having a nap with a smooth direction and a resistant direction, the smooth directions facing each other tending to facilitate movement of a ball into the glove pocket and tending to impede movement of a ball away from the pocket and/or out of the glove to enhance ball retaining characteristics of the glove. A method of making a glove includes attaching plural glove portions, at least one of which has a nap with a smooth and braking directions, and orienting such nap to provide preferred smooth and braking directions to enhance ball retention. Use of nap characteristics to enhance holding the shaft of an implement or other device. A method of retrofitting a device for enhanced retention characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2001Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Inventor: Martin A. Alpert

Patent number: 6259775Abstract: A multi-line modem interface circuit includes a processor and a sensing circuit coupled to the processor. The sensing circuit is operable to identify a status of one or more external lines and communicate the status to the processor. A control circuit is coupled to the processor, and the processor is operable to automatically configure a line connection configuration for either incoming or outgoing voice or data communications in accordance with programmed, user-defined preferences associated with the processor. The interface circuit is operable to automatically monitor a line to determine if it's ringing, determine whether it's allowed and couple the line to the modem for potential answer. The interface circuit line monitoring is non-invasive and keeps the modem from interfering with calls in progress.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1997Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Inventors: Martin A. Alpert, Laszlo Istvan Morocz, Mark D. Niemiec

Patent number: 5742666Abstract: The cellular mobile telephone and system is provided wherein the cellular telephone automatically dials one or more prescribed emergency telephone numbers in the event of an emergency. Automatic dialing of an emergency telephone number is initiated by the user pressing a dedicated push button on the cellular telephone handset, or alternatively, upon the occurrence of an accident which is detected by the cellular telephone. After the cellular telephone dials the predetermined emergency number, the cellular telephone plays a recorded message which indicates that an emergency has occurred and that the telephone user is in distress. Alteratively, the cellular telephone user is allowed to participate in the emergency call upon receiving notification that the cellular telephone has successfully completed the automatic dialing and a connection has been established.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1994Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Tele Digital Development, Inc.Inventor: Martin Alpert
