Patent number: 11878437Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal razor and methods of use for shaving hair. The personal razor includes a substantially V-shape body. The exterior surface has a razor cartridge interface on which a razor cartridge is attached. Retaining clips are affixed along the exterior surface securing the razor cartridge in place and orientating a razor-cutting surface to be in contact with the skin of a user during use of the personal razor. An interior surface forms two opposing entry surfaces. Ridges are disposed along each of the opposing entry surfaces that grip the finger of the user on insertion into the personal razor. The grip of the ridges on the finger of the user enables the user to better control the motion, the angle of the razor cutting surface, and the downward pressure on the skin of the user during use of the personal razor.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: NeatNeck, LLCInventors: Richard Baldwin, Jenna Baldwin, Debbie Baldwin

Patent number: 9178580Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting an antenna mapping in multiple-in/multiple-out (MIMO) enabled wireless communication networks. A candidate set of currently available antenna mappings is determined based upon measured long term channel conditions. An antenna mapping is selected from the candidate set, and the mapping is calibrated with a selected antenna mapping of a receiving wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). When the selected mappings are calibrated, packet data transmission begins. In an alternative embodiment, a calibration training frame (CTF) is used to calibrate multiple antenna mappings simultaneously or sequentially. Also disclosed are physical layer and medium access control layer frame formats for implementing antenna mapping selection according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Inhyok Cha, Eldad M.

Publication number: 20070230119Abstract: A chassis for plug-in modules may be provided with a vented and ducted sub-rack support member. The vented and ducted sub-rack support member may deflect a portion of the air flowing within the chassis through vents in the top surface of the vented and ducted sub-rack support member in order to increase the air flow to heat producing components mounted on the backplane above the support member. The increased air flow may increase air flow velocity and decrease the ambient temperature of the air around these components and improve the dissipation of heat from each component into the air. Air flow above the vented and ducted sub-rack support member may also be redirected by upper deflectors mounted on the support member to portions of plug-in cards adjacent to the upper deflectors and may provide additional cooling to components on the plug-in cards near the backplane.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventor: Richard Baldwin

Patent number: 7194353Abstract: A method and system or determining a flight path for an aircraft between an initial point and a destination point are described. An airspace is divide into a set of grid cells, and a flight path is established between the initial point and the destination point. A cumulative threat risk value for each of the grid cells is calculated, and an allowable threat risk per grid cell is established based on a rule set. An intermediate point from which to deviate the flight path is identified based upon an analysis of the cumulative threat risk values of the grid cells, if the threat risk value of any of the grid cells intersecting the flight path exceeds the allowable threat risk. A deviation from the intermediate point to a new intermediate point is determined such that the new intermediate point has a cumulative threat risk value lower than or equal to the allowable threat risk per grid cell.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2005Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Gestalt, LLCInventors: Richard Baldwin, Richard Francis Long

Publication number: 20060052002Abstract: In some embodiments, a module may have a slot for an input/output card. While cables may be connected to the card in the module, external forces acting on the cable and/or module may result in the cable pulling the card out of the module, damaging the connector or card. In some embodiments, a strain-relieving device may be used to counter these forces on the cable. In some embodiments, a positioning strip may be coupled to a base placed over the card in the module. In some embodiments, a cable grip may be coupled to the positioning strip through a bracket. In some embodiments, the cable grip may include two plates that are coupled to the bracket through fasteners. As the fasteners are tightened, a distance between the two plates may decrease, and a cable between the plates may be at least partially secured between the plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2004Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventor: Richard Baldwin
