Patent number: 11897277Abstract: A method of operating a sublimating device includes providing heat to a cavity of the sublimating device by increasing (i) a temperature of a heater to a predetermined target temperature and (ii) a temperature of a base heater to a predetermined standby temperature. The method further includes determining a difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature of the heater. The method also includes determining whether a workpiece is arranged in the cavity based on the difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Cricut, Inc.Inventors: Kristy Lynn Barney, Desmond Kavanagh, Bayden Filleul, Jerome Tobin, Mathew Bates, Peter Bevan, Norman Stevenson

Patent number: 9496102Abstract: In certain embodiments, a protective cover for an input device includes a housing having an outer portion and an inner portion, with the inner portion including a first end and a second end, and a plurality of keys disposed in an area at the first end of the inner portion of the housing. A holder can be configured to receive and secure an input device with at least a portion of the holder coupled to the second end of the inner portion of the housing. The housing can be configurable in a plurality of positions including a closed configuration, an open configuration, a first active configuration, and a second active configuration. The protective cover can further include a plurality of magnets coupled to the housing and configured to secure the housing in one or more of the closed, open, and active configurations.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Mathew Bates, Chia Feng Lee, Li-Jen Chien, John Moriarty, Simone Mandelli, James Jackson, Benjamin Riot, Mel Reynolds

Patent number: 9494976Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to an apparatus including a housing and a slot disposed in the housing, the slot configured to hold an input device in a plurality of upright configurations including at least a forward-facing upright configuration such that the input device faces the front portion of the housing, and at least a backward-facing upright configuration such that the input device faces the back portion of the housing. The slot can be overmolded with a rubber compound (e.g. silicon-based) and configured to provide an improved coefficient of friction to reduce slippage of the input device when held in the slot. In some aspects, the housing includes a surface, and the overmolded portion of the slot can protrude above the surface of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Mathew Bates, Brian Stephens, John Moriarty, Simone Mandelli, James Jackson, James Lynch, Ronan Carroll, Mel Reynolds, Stephen Harvey, Denis O'Keeffe

Patent number: 9244535Abstract: Certain embodiments relate to a protective cover with a housing and a latch mechanism. The latch can be hingeably coupled to a back portion of the housing such that the latch is configured to rotate, via the hinge coupling, from a closed position to an open position. The latch can further be slideably coupled to the housing such that the latch is configured to laterally slide out from the back portion of the housing to an extended position, where the bottom side of the latch can be configured to couple to and secure an input device to the surface of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Mathew Bates, Brian Stephens, Chia Feng Lee, Richard Milhe, John Moriarty, James Jackson, James Lynch, Ronan Carroll, Mel Reynolds, Stephen Harvey, Denis O'Keeffe

Patent number: 9218025Abstract: In certain embodiments, a protective cover includes a housing having a surface, and a latch mechanism hingeably coupled to the housing. The latch can include a top side and a bottom side, the bottom side configured to couple to and secure an input device to the surface of the housing. The latch can be configured to rotate, via the hinge coupling, between a first configuration and second configuration. In the first configuration, the top side of the latch can be flush with the surface of the housing and the bottom side embedded within the housing such that the latch does not protrude from the housing. In the second configuration, the latch can be rotated relative to the first configuration and protrude from the housing. The latch can be operable to be rotated open from the first configuration to the second configuration via the hinge coupling.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Mathew Bates, Brian Stephens, Chia Feng Lee, John Moriarty, Simone Mandelli, James Jackson, James Lynch, Ronan Carroll, Mel Reynolds, Stephen Harvey, Denis O'Keeffe

Patent number: 8742905Abstract: A system and method for an easy to use and intuitive user interface on a remote control. In one embodiment, a touch sensitive area is extended beyond a screen. In one embodiment, soft buttons lie partially on the screen and partially off it (on the extended touch-sensitive area). This allows for an increased input area for the user, without the increase in cost associated with a larger screen. Moreover, this allows for a smooth, flat, and sleek upper surface of the remote control. In one embodiment, a remote control provides different user experiences based upon the context of use of the remote control. For instance, the color of the screen as well as the color of backlighting for certain buttons is dependent upon what mode the remote control is in.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Boualem Sekhri, Barbara Glover, Alex Zaliauskas, Mathew Bates

Patent number: 8704643Abstract: A remote control includes a screen configured to display a plurality of soft buttons in a first order. The remote control further includes a memory configured to store use information for the plurality of soft buttons. The use information includes a number of button presses for each of the plurality of soft buttons. The remote control further includes a processor configured to determine whether one of the plurality of soft buttons is pressed a great number of times than a second of the plurality of soft buttons, and to change the display of the plurality of soft buttons to a second order where the one of the plurality of soft buttons is displayed in the second order at a higher position than in the first order.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Mathew Bates, Alex Zaliauskas, Barbara Glover
