Patent number: 11324637Abstract: An earplug extending along an earplug axis may include an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portion may include a proximal portion extending from a second end region, a distal portion extending from a first end region, and a slant portion therebetween. The outer portion may define an interior space. The inner portion may extend between a first and second end region and may be coupled to the outer portion within the interior space. A distance between an end of the inner portion proximate the second end region of the inner portion and an end of the outer portion proximate the second end region of the outer portion may be greater than a length of the proximal portion of the outer portion measured along the earplug axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Vibes LLCInventor: Jackson Robert Mann

Patent number: 10827732Abstract: A fishing lure representing a typical fish is formed from plastic or polymer. Embedded therein is provided a dynamic motion actuator utilized to attract fish by the continuous or random motion effected thereby. The device is powered by an onboard battery connected to a vibrational motor. A control circuit detects the water activation of the fishing lure and enables the motor and a lighting system for a predetermined sequence of activation and deactivation. An auxiliary control circuit senses connection of a USB to barrel connector power wire through a charging dock mounted in the frame of the fishing lure. Checking both a charging state and the number of times the device has been charged, the auxiliary control circuit enables a steady state light for signaling charging and a flashing light if the number of charges is above a certain level by using a counter.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Inventor: Robert Mann

Patent number: 9268058Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved scanning process having microwave arrays comprised of microwave transmitters in radiographic alignment with microwave receivers. The microwave array emits controllably directed microwave radiation toward an object under inspection. The object under inspection absorbs radiation in a manner dependent upon its metal content. The microwave radiation absorption can be used to generate a measurement of metal content. The measurement, in turn, can be used to calculate at least a portion of the volume and shape of the object under inspection. The measurement can be compared to a plurality of predefined threats. The microwave screening system is used in combination with other screening technologies, such as NQR-based screening, X-ray transmission based screening, X-ray scattered based screening, or Computed Tomography based screening.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Rapiscan Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kristian R. Peschmann, Kenneth Robert Mann
