Patent number: 9722456Abstract: A console assembly for an automotive vehicle and use with a mobile device. The console assembly including a storage compartment having a floor, a pair of sidewalls, and a pair of end walls. An opening permits access into the storage area and a slidable top wall is operable to move between a covered position and a retracted position relative to the opening. An anti-slip surface is provided on the top wall and configured to receive the mobile device thereon. A wireless charging unit is also incorporated into and moveable with the top wall. The wireless charging unit is located immediately below the anti-slip surface. When the mobile device is placed on the anti-slip surface, the device is moveable with the top wall, between the covered position and retracted position, while being charged.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Lambert, Nicholas S. Sitarski, Scott L. Weiss, Jonathan J. Quijano

Patent number: 8989015Abstract: A method and apparatus for addressing a congestion condition in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the method receives an alert for at least one of: a trunk or a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC), where the trunk or the PVC is associated with a route. The method determines whether the alert is associated with a congestion condition by determining whether a trunk utilization has exceeded a first predetermined threshold for the trunk or for the at least one trunk supporting the PVC. The method then rebuilds the route if the first predetermined threshold is exceeded for the trunk or for the at least one trunk supporting said PVC.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Paritosh Bajpay, Chuan-Chuen Chang, Monowar Hossain, Mark Hunt, Thiru Ilango, Michael R. Lambert, David H. Lu, Chen-Yui Yang

Patent number: 4666791Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved electroplated and painted product that is resistant to corrosive damage as measured on painted and scribed panels subjected to salt spray and cyclic humidity exposure, such as used to judge corrosion behavior of an automotive body panel. The electroplate layer, underlying a paint layer, is characterized by a two-phase structure and is composed of an alloy of 6.5 to 9.5%, by weight nickel, balance essentially zinc.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1985Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: Bethlehem Steel Corporation of DelawareInventor: Michael R.

Patent number: RE42512Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for improving the resiliency and airflow through a honeycomb air vent filter while providing EMI shielding. In one embodiment, the honeycomb can be manufactured from a dielectric (e.g., plastic) substrate to provide improved resistance to deformation as compared to conventional aluminum honeycomb. The dielectric honeycomb substrate is metallized to provide EMI shielding capability. The metallized honeycomb substrate is cut slightly oversize to fit an opening in an electronic enclosure, which results in elastic deformation of resilient perimeter spring fingers that are used to hold the metallized dielectric honeycomb in place and provide electrical conductivity between the metallized dielectric substrate and the enclosure, thereby eliminating the use of a frame. In another embodiment, additional conductive layers can be added to the metallized dielectric honeycomb.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Laird Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Lambert, Jeff McFadden, Philip van Haaster
