Patent number: 11110227Abstract: An injecting device includes a housing having a longitudinal axis extending. A dose setting member is rotatable in the housing in a first or second direction about the longitudinal axis. A plunger extends through a bore of the dose setting member and into a bore of a barrel engaged with the housing. Pushing on an arm extending through a slot in the housing rotates the dose setting member in the first direction. As it rotates, indicia on the dose setting member are progressively displayed through an aperture in the housing. An actuator is engaged to release the dose setting member to rotate in the second direction and this rotation causes the plunger to move axially within the barrel's bore and push the pre-set dose of fluid therefrom. The dose setting member remains in a constant axial position within the housing during rotation in each of the first and second directions.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventors: Cheryl Muise, David Snaith, Steve A. Copeland, Mitchell Thompson

Patent number: 10888069Abstract: A pet treat toy in the shape of a dumbbell including a spherical or cylindrical body portion flanked by disc-shaped first and second enlarged members. The enlarged members are of a greater diameter than the body portion; consequently, the enlarged members keep the body portion a distance off the ground. Each enlarged member includes a concave surface with an outermost edge that contacts the ground if the toy is upended. An opening defined in one of the body portion and concave surface is in communication with the body portion's interior cavity. Treats loaded into the cavity through the opening are kept from contacting the ground because the opening is maintained a distance off the ground by the larger diameter enlarged members or because the opening is recessed relative to the outermost edge of the enlarged member's concave surface that defines the opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Towerstar Pets, LLCInventors: Fernando Becattini, Jr., Fernando Becattini, Sr., Jacquelyn N. Becattini, Steve A. Copeland, Mitchell Thompson

Publication number: 20200179090Abstract: A brushing system with a rechargeable toothbrush and associated charging components include a charging cup, a charging base, and a charger. The charging cup is seated on the charging base which in turn is engaged with the charger. The charger includes a universal serial bus (USB) receptacle that is configured to receive a USB header extending outwardly from the charging base. The charging base includes a first charging coil in a protrusion that extends upwardly from the charging base and into a receptacle in the charging cup. The charging cup includes a projection that is received in a recess of the toothbrush. The toothbrush includes a second charging coil that is brought into the proximity of the first charging coil when the toothbrush is placed in the cup. The toothbrush is charged by induction when prongs on the charger are engaged in an electrical wall outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Steve A. Copeland, Mitchell Thompson, Nicholas Teixeira, William Battaglia

Patent number: 10445585Abstract: The targeted selection of certain representative images from content is described. In one example case, images in video content are first attributed a quality score based on an image quality factor, such as the brightness and contrast of the images. A subset of the images are identified as episodic image candidates using an image quality threshold. Image scores of one or more of the episodic image candidates are scaled based on one or more episodic image selection factors. Episodic images for the video content are selected from among the episodic image candidates using one or more episodic image selection rules. In some cases, a number of the episodic images are filtered out, for example, as being too similar to each other or for failing to be distinguishable from episodic images of other content. The episodic images are provided for use as representative images for the video content.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Matthew Ludden, Mitchell Thompson

Patent number: 10422493Abstract: A night light includes a housing, a dimmable light source operatively connected to a rotatable light source controller rotatable about an axis and at least one first sensor mounted within the housing operative to sense rotation of the rotatable light source. The at least one first sensor outputs a signal representative of the rotation. Further, the rotatable light source can be rotated by a hand of a user. Still further, the light night can be controlled via wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: 1842728 Ontario IncInventors: Mitchell Thompson, David Snaith, Daniel Kowalewski, Steve A.

Patent number: 10299326Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB)-powered utility tool includes a housing defining an interior space, at least one dimmable light source positioned on one side of the housing and a USB connector extending outwardly from the housing. The USB connector may be positioned on another side of the housing. The USB connector may be positioned orthogonal to the at least one dimmable light source. The USB-powered utility tool may further include a printed circuit board (PCB) positioned orthogonal to the USB connector. The USB-powered utility tool may further include a processor logic configured to control a current being supplied to the at least one dimmable light source. The at least one dimmable light source may be controlled manually or via wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: 1842728 Ontario IncInventors: Mitchell Thompson, David Snaith, Daniel Kowalewski, Steve A.
