Patent number: 10632876Abstract: A suspension pedestal may be employed with a vehicle seat (e.g. a boat seat). The suspension pedestal comprises a piston partially received within a base, and an isolator to mitigate relative movement between the base and piston. A flange extends circumferentially around the base, and is releasably fixable to the base at any point between the ends of the base.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: CDG Coast Dynamics Group Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Bennett Charboneau, Daryl Peter Peereboom, Mark Leighton Foster, Paul Wesley Taylor

Publication number: 20170182917Abstract: A suspension system has an isolator cylinder with a primary reservoir having a primary reservoir volume, a secondary reservoir having a secondary reservoir volume, a manifold and a primary duct fluidly connecting the primary and secondary reservoirs for controlling the flow rate of the fluid between the primary and secondary reservoirs, and optionally a valve for controlling a flow rate of a fluid through the duct, and a control system for operating the valve. A shock absorption system for a vehicle seat is provided comprising an isolator with at least one secondary pneumatic reservoir connected with a fluid duct to the primary reservoir of an isolator. The reservoir volumes, length and cross sectional area of the connecting duct and fluid flow control valves may be determined using methods including algorithms, experimental testing and models to determine the optimal values to achieve consistent shock mitigation across a range of seat loads.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2015Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Paul Wesley TAYLOR, Daniel Bennett CHARBONEAU, James Steven CANOVA, Timothy REES

Patent number: 8458777Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media for granting access to a component of a computing device in response to receiving input based on a presentation of a plurality of object coordinates on a screen of a remote device. An arrangement of objects that are referenced by a coordinate system are identified. A plurality of object coordinates of the arrangement of objects is provided to the remote device. Input is received that is based on the plurality of object coordinates. When the input provided is accurate based on the arrangement of objects, access is granted to the component of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Paul Wesley Taylor, Joseph Edward Trawicki, Jr.

Patent number: 8321930Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media for granting access to a component of a computing device. In particular, embodiments provide methods of presenting a plurality of images on a screen of the computing device. Keyboard-based inputs are received, where the inputs are based on relationships between the images. Based on the accuracy of the inputs received, access is granted to the component of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Paul Wesley Taylor, Joseph Trawicki, Todd Jason Reever

Patent number: 7298626Abstract: A system is provided which includes a plurality of nodes on a network which each interface with equipment on in a particular equipment housing. The nodes also interface with a an external database. The network-accessible external database is used to maintain asset management information which is received from the nodes.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Brian Lawrence Senogles, Paul Wesley Taylor, Nathan Aaron Fink, Jeffrey Delzer

Patent number: 7187265Abstract: An equipment housing is provided upon which heavy computing equipment, such as servers, routers, switches, and others may be mounted. A computing device is attached to the housing. The computing device is interfaced with the equipment on the housing, and also with a system that is external thereto. The disclosed housing, and others like it, may be used by an organization along with a centralized computing system such that that organization will know the exact location and status of all of its equipment at the same time and may accurately and readily monitor all of its equipment-related-assets at any given time.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2004Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Brian Lawrence Senogles, Paul Wesley Taylor, Nathan Aaron Fink, Ronda Lyn Watkins, Jeffrey Delzer

Patent number: 6491637Abstract: An apparatus for ultrasound scanning of the eye is provided comprising a virtual center translocation mechanism that facilitates precise arcuate motion of an ultrasonic transducer to maintain focal distance from the eye and to maintain normality of the ultrasound beam with surfaces of the eye. The invention also provides a radius adjust mechanism for changing the radius of ultrasound scanning to facilitate positioning of the transducer focal point on selected surfaces of the eye. Centration optics are also provided, for aligning the ultrasound transducer with the Purkinje (or other optical or geometric) axis of a patient's eye.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Ultralink Ophthalmics Inc.Inventors: Mark Leighton Foster, Scott Howard Phillips, Paul Wesley Taylor, Dan Reinstein

Publication number: 20020169460Abstract: The invention provides a head support apparatus. The apparatus may for example be used for ophthalmic examination. In some embodiments, the apparatus may allow six degrees of freedom of motion during initial positioning of a patient's head, and may then be locked to hold the patient's head in place precisely. The head support mechanism may include three shafts connecting an upper frame to a structure. Each shaft may be provided with a ball-and-socket joint at one end and a lockable bearing assembly on the other end. The lockable bearing assembly may provide a combination of sliding and pivotal movement. A biasing assembly may be provided to support each shaft, and to return each shaft to a self-centered and fully lifted rest position. A head clamping apparatus is also disclosed comprising pivoting clamping arms and an adjustable chin rest.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2002Publication date: November 14, 2002Inventors: Mark Leighton Foster, Scott Howard Phillips, Paul Wesley Taylor, Adrian Albert Van Wijk, Dan Reinstein
