Patent number: 11475645Abstract: In some implementations, a device may determine dimensions of an installation area in a real-world environment and may obtain information identifying dimensions of an installation template associated with installing an equipment in the real-world environment. The device may determine a scale for displaying augmented reality representations associated with installing the equipment, based on the dimensions of the installation area and the dimensions of the installation template. The device may identify, based on information identifying an installation point of the installation template, a virtual installation point associated with installing the equipment in the installation area. The user device may display an augmented reality representation of the virtual installation point to enable a depiction of a corresponding real installation point in the installation area. The augmented reality representation may be displayed based on the scale and a distance from the user device to the installation area.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Peter Ryan Grondin, Michael D. Hanson, Marc J. Durocher, Jr., Erik Sheehan

Patent number: 11070289Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a location-based remote testing service. The location-based remote testing service may receive a request for a remote test that includes location information indicating a location subject to a remote test. The service may correlate the location information to a network element of a network. The service may perform a remote test on the network element. The service may provide a result of the remote test to a device that requests the remote test.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Michael D. Hanson, Robert R. Sheehan

Patent number: 10742306Abstract: A monitoring platform may obtain information concerning a location of a node device on a wire and information concerning a location of an antenna of a customer premises equipment (CPE). The monitoring platform may cause, based on the information concerning the location of the node device and the information concerning the location of the antenna of the CPE, the node device to move from a first node device position to a second node device position on the wire. The monitoring platform may cause the node device and the CPE to communicate via a communication link.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Theodore G. Poppe, Miguel A. Goncalves, James John Richards, Kyle Brisson, Michael Antony Raj, Paul Kerl, Shawn A. Nuttall, Michael D. Hanson

Publication number: 20100275549Abstract: Self aligned clips connecting panels, such as solar panels, and cross members are disclosed. An upper clip portion has opposed alignment legs extending downwardly from an upper portion surface that are used to align an opening of the upper portion with a wall fastener housing of the lower portion used with a fastener to connect the upper and lower portions. Remaining fastener housings of the lower portion are used with fasteners to connect the lower portion of the clip to a support member. The lower portion has a space in between a pair of arms receiving the support member. A length between the opposed legs is slightly longer than a length of the wall of the lower portion allowing a user to place the pair of opposed legs just past opposed outer ends of the wall. In use, the lower portion is first installed on the support member with fastener housings and fasteners. The panel is butted against the lower portion and clamped into place when the upper portion is connected to the lower portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2009Publication date: November 4, 2010Applicant: Roofscreen ManufacturingInventors: Ryan W. Bruce, Michael D. Hanson

Patent number: 7736108Abstract: An anchor assembly having a nut which is pivotably connected to a sleeve which is slideable along a rod housing. The nut is pivotable to and from a position in vertical alignment with rod housing and a position perpendicular to the rod housing in which a threaded nut opening is in vertical alignment with a opening of the rod housing. A flange is disposed above the rod housing and a stop washer is disposed above the flange, the rod insertable within both the flange and washer. The threaded rod is insertable through the rod opening of the rod housing and threadable within the threaded opening of the nut when the nut is in a position perpendicular to the rod housing. When the nut of the anchor assembly is positioned into vertical alignment with the rod housing, the assembly can fit into a narrow hole. Once the nut clears the opening, the nut moves into the position perpendicular to the rod housing so that the rod may be threaded through the nut opening.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Roofscreen Mfg.Inventors: Ryan W. Bruce, William E. Warner, Michael D. Hanson
