Patent number: 12347441Abstract: Techniques for accurately recording sworn deposition testimony without use of a court reporter are described herein. According to these techniques, participants in a deposition or other legal proceeding are identified in such a manner that speech in one or more audio files representing the deposition can be associated with the respective participants. The association of participants with recorded speech is used to automatically generate an accurate transcript sequentially reflecting what was said at the deposition proceeding and by which of the respective participants.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Cloud Court, Inc.Inventors: Norman Ira Taple, Michael David Okerlund

Publication number: 20230273945Abstract: A method for taking depositions includes receiving an output signal from one or more microphones, the output signal representing content from a proceeding having two or more participants and generating a real-time transcript based on the received output signal. The real-time transcript is displayed via a user interface. Search terms are selected based on the real-time transcript and a search of a database is conducted based on the selected search terms. The results are then displayed via the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Michael David OKERLUND, Norman Ira TAPLE, Milena HIGGINS

Patent number: 8959980Abstract: An automated testing system includes systems and methods to facilitate inline production testing of samples at a micro (multiple microns) or less scale with a mechanical testing instrument. In an example, the system includes a probe changing assembly for coupling and decoupling a probe of the instrument. The probe changing assembly includes a probe change unit configured to grasp one of a plurality of probes in a probe magazine and couple one of the probes with an instrument probe receptacle. An actuator is coupled with the probe change unit, and the actuator is configured to move and align the probe change unit with the probe magazine and the instrument probe receptacle. In another example, the automated testing system includes a multiple degree of freedom stage for aligning a sample testing location with the instrument. The stage includes a sample stage and a stage actuator assembly including translational and rotational actuators.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Hysitron, Inc.Inventors: David James Vodnick, Arpit Dwivedi, Lucas Paul Keranen, Michael David Okerlund, Roger William Schmitz, Oden Lee Warren, Christopher David Young
