Patent number: 10452054Abstract: A method of making an arch support for an article of footwear at a kiosk includes scanning a foot of a customer who has selected a shoe for purchase, determining dimensions of the customer's foot based on the scan, comparing the dimensions of the customer's foot with pre-determined dimensions of a last used to make the selected shoe, defining a shape characterized by the difference between the dimensions of the customer's foot and the dimensions of the last, and printing the arch support with a 3D printer. The arch support has the shape characterized by the difference between the dimensions of the customer's foot and the dimensions of the last.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Reebok International LimitedInventors: William McInnis, Robert Rich

Patent number: 8185455Abstract: A system for auditing telecommunication billing data comprises a rule-construction user interface and an audit component. The rule-construction user interface comprises a plurality of rule condition parameter menus to construct an audit rule for at least one telecommunication billing attribute. In a particular embodiment, before baselining the audit rule, a user can test rule conditions against actual data, and the user can compare multiple versions of a single audit rule to determine which version successfully identifies exceptions. The audit component is to perform an audit of a telecommunication billing data set for exceptions to the audit rule constructed using the rule-construction user interface. Once identified, the exceptions can be assigned to additional tool users to assist in exception investigation and maintenance using an exception maintenance component.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Euly Legro, Gideon Juve, Kin Chan, Jorge Pastoral, Jr., Robert Rich, Kelly Stephenson, Jack Fine, Michael L.

Patent number: 7156050Abstract: Precut, production blank components can be folded manually to form a birdhouse without the need for tools or other aids in assembly, even where the blank components are manufactured from metal, rigid plastic or the like. The precut blank components include a one-piece main panel and a detached panel. The one-piece panel includes a rear section, a base section, first and second side sections, and a top section. Each section includes precut slots, tabs and hinges that act as folding guides, allowing the blank to easily fold into a structure defining an enclosure like the birdhouse. The detached panel then is mounted to the so constructed main panel to cover the enclosure and thereby complete the birdhouse.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Green Mansion LLCInventors: Brandon Louis Scott, James Robert Rich

Publication number: 20020127966Abstract: A cat odor eliminating system including a connector having an open inner end, an open outer end, and a hollow interior. A fan is disposed within the connector. A length of tubing is coupled with the open outer end of the connector. The length of tubing has an open free end. An adapter plate is provided that is dimensioned for covering the vented top of the cover of the cat litter box. The adapter plate has a central opening with a collar extending upwardly therefrom. The collar is coupled with the open free end of the length of tubing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2001Publication date: September 12, 2002Inventor: Robert Rich

Patent number: 4891753Abstract: When a load instruction is encountered, a read operation is sent to the bus control logic, the register is marked as busy, and execution proceeds to the next instruction. When an instruction is executed, it proceeds providing that its source and destination registers are not marked busy; otherwise the instruction is retried. When data are returned as the result of a read operation, the destination register(s) are marked as not busy.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1986Date of Patent: January 2, 1990Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David Budde, Robert Riches, Michael T. Imel, Glen Myers, Konrad Lai

Patent number: 4811208Abstract: A plurality of global registers are provided on the microprocessor chip. One of a global registers is a frame pointer register containing the current frame pointer, and the remainder of the global registers are available to a current process as general registers. A plurality of floating point registers are also provided for use by the current process in execution of floating point arithmetic operations. A register set pool made up of a plurality of register sets is provided, each register set being comprised of a number of local registers. When a call instruction is decoded, a register set of local registers from the register set pool is allocated to the called procedure, and the frame pointer register is initialized. When a return instruction is decoded, the register set is freed for allocation to another procedure called by a subsequent call instruction.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1986Date of Patent: March 7, 1989Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Glenford J. Myers, Konrad Lai, Michael T. Imel, Glenn Hinton, Robert Riches

Patent number: 4552023Abstract: A transducer diaphragm overload protection system provides a core of insulating material for supporting a sensor and being movable relative to a deflectable diaphragm portion, and establishes a mechanical interconnection between that deflectable portion of the diaphragm and that movable core, while that core is in a movable condition. The movable core is rendered stationary relative to the diaphragm, and the mechanical interconnection is removed by establishing between the deflectable diaphragm portion and the core a gap corresponding to a predetermined diaphragm deflection, while maintaining the core stationary relative to the diaphragm. Advantageously, in pressure transducers having a ceramic core for supporting the transducer sensor, the desired gap may then be established by locating a dissolvable shim between the core and the diaphragm, while such core is movable, and by thereafter dissolving such shim after the core has become set in the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1983Date of Patent: November 12, 1985Assignee: Transamerica Delaval Inc.Inventors: Ronald Bowman, Michael T. Zimmerman, Robert A. Rich
