Publication number: 20240119685Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to translate three-dimensional experiences into user accessible experiences to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Namely, the discussed system enables users with disabilities to create and personalize objects for use in the three-dimensional experience. This is accomplished by translating and grouping components from a three-dimensional space to form an intuitive and logical hierarchy. The grouped components are then organized into an accessible user interface which a user with disabilities can navigate using simplified inputs and assistive technologies. In this way, users with disabilities can be empowered to personalize their user experience and understand a three-dimensional space in a layered, well-defined format.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Brett D. HUMPHREY, Lucas Martins DE SOUZA, Yaying ZHANG, Daryan Josche MACDONNELL, Emily Jane DORSEY, Evan TICE

Publication number: 20110209944Abstract: The present invention is a light weight, packable ladder stand generally used for hunting. It is made of aluminum parts and can be folded, demounted or slid into a back pack configuration that weighs about thirty pounds with an aluminum ladder. The weight may be further reduced in alternate ladder configurations, such as reinforced plastic ladder. The ladder stand can be anchored to the tree by a single person from the ground location without having to climb the ladder. This allows the deer stand to be easily transported and installed by a lone hunter without climbing the ladder prior to securing the ladder to the tree.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Inventors: Martin A.

Patent number: 6666434Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for retrieving a cable that has become stuck or wedged during the process of installation of the cable in an underground conduit. A projectile is sent down the opposite end of the conduit by pressurized air to engage a receiver attached to the leading edge of the stuck cable. After engagement of the projectile and the receiver the two are latched together. A retrieval line attached to the projectile can then be pulled from the open end of the conduit to free the wedged cable and extract the cable from the open end of the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2003Date of Patent: December 23, 2003Inventor: Martin A.

Patent number: 6218158Abstract: This invention relates to a process for enzymic oxidation of a fatty acid to produce an oxidation product in the presence of water and oxygen wherein the fatty acid, water and enzyme for the oxidation are substantially uniformly distributed throughout a porous bed of solid support material in the substantial absence of a continuous liquid phase, oxygen is passed through the porous bed and the oxidation product is recovered from the porous bed. The invention is of particular value for production of methyl ketones from saturated fatty acids.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1992Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Bush Boake Allen LimitedInventors: Anthony Martin Humphrey, Bridget Ann Skill, Judith L.
