  • Patent number: 11431835
    Abstract: The invention enables digital music content to be downloaded to and used on a portable wireless computing device. An application running on the wireless device has been automatically adapted to parameters associated with the wireless device without end-user input (e.g. the application has been configured in dependence on the device OS and firmware, related bugs, screen size, pixel number, security models, connection handling, memory etc. This application enables an end-user to browse and search music content on a remote server using a wireless network; to download music content from that remote server using the wireless network and to playback and manage that downloaded music content. The application also includes a digital rights management system that enables unlimited legal downloads of different music tracks to the device and also enables any of those tracks stored on the device to be played so long as a subscription service has not terminated.

  • Patent number: 10882177
    Abstract: Disclosed is a bracket that couples a pegboard to a table without requiring a separate table for a stand-alone table and a pegboard-coupled table. The bracket can include vertical and horizontal portions that couple to a pegboard and table, respectively. The bracket can further include tabs that grip the table or pegboard for additional support. The bracket therefore allows for a pegboard to be attached to a table, or for the table to be sold without the pegboard, therefore freeing substantial inventory for the seller of the table and pegboard combination.

  • Patent number: 10843326
    Abstract: A bracket for a board that removably couples to a base. The bracket can include a slot at one end and a compression member at the other end. The slot can fit over the base at a first end of the base and can be removed from that end of the base upon removal of the compression member at the other end of the base. The compression member can be removed against a bias such that the compression member applies a bias to the base when the bracket is coupled to the base, and that bias can be removed so as to allow the removal of the bracket. A pegboard or other type of board can be coupled to the bracket with fasteners or other known means.

  • Patent number: 10155525
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hand truck with a foot kick that rotates to be placed in a more compact position. The foot kick can include pins that fit within slots to move between the open and closed positions. The hand truck can therefore include a foot kick but still be compact enough to fit through hallways, staircases, and the like.
