Publication number: 20250320732Abstract: The tile setting device includes a tile staging tray and a tile gripping apparatus that picks up an array of tiles from the tray using a series of vacuum suction cups. The vacuum is provided by compressed air flowing through venturis mounted to the upper planar panel of the gripping apparatus. An intermediate planar panel includes passageways that direct the vacuum from the venturis to an array of suction cups attached to or removed from the lower planar panel of the gripping apparatus. When removed, to avoid suction over a tile seam or open space, the suction cups are replaced with a sealing cap. Adjustable guides extend from each side edge of the gripping apparatus. Gripping handles on the upper planar panel aid in positioning the gripping apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2025Publication date: October 16, 2025Inventor: Michael Perez

Patent number: 10856130Abstract: The present disclosure discloses automated discovery of and seamless connection to wireless receivers for mirroring, extending, and/or projecting images, audio, and/or video from a computing device to the wireless receivers. A smart discovery program discovers a specific wireless receiver that matches a location for a meeting and provides the user with an option to wirelessly connect to the matching receiver during the meeting. The smart discovery program may also use a current location of the computing device to provide a user with a list relevant wireless receivers. Relevant receivers may include those receivers that are both available and located near the computing device. When a computing device connects to a wireless receiver, it may store the receiver ID for the connected receiver in a local receiver log so that the computing device may use this information to connect to the same receiver at a later time.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Michael Perez, Mario Barba Garcia, Gianluigi Nusca, Vishal Mhatre

Patent number: 7695010Abstract: A stored gas inflator having a chamber. The chamber houses a quantity of stored gas. The chamber is sealed by a burst disk. A frangible support is also added. The frangible support is designed to support the burst disk. The frangible support breaks during deployment of the inflator. The inflator is further constructed such that when the temperature of the inflator exceeds a threshold level, the gas is vented out of the chamber through the frangible member.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2008Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Autoliv ASP, Inc.Inventors: Michael Perez, Scott Jackson, Anthony M. Young, Brent A. Parks, David Green, Greg Lanham
