Patent number: 11934740Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for associating electronic devices together based on received audio commands are described. Methods for associating an audio-controlled device with a physically separate display screen device such that information responses can then be provided in both audio and graphic formats using the two devices in conjunction with each other are described. The audio-controlled device can receive audio commands that can be analyzed to determine the author, which can then be used to further streamline the association operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Justin-Josef Angel, Eric Alan Breitbard, Sean Robert Ryan, Robert Steven Murdock, Michael Douglas McQueen, Ryan Charles Chase, Colin Neil Swann

Publication number: 20200034833Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a deterministic model for scheduling requests to a distributed ledger network to record transactions in a distributed ledger, and further for optimizing transaction parameters based on prior performance of the distributed ledger network, characteristics of the data being recorded, and user-supplied parameters restricting transaction costs and wait times. Based on the model outputs, the system selects a gas price and a time to submit the request in order to optimize the processing of the request. The system is adaptable to processing groups of documents, such as publications, to be recorded, according to a deterministic selection of the next document, to a sequence of the documents, or to a time limit by which each document must be recorded.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Bennett I. Oscar Collen, Christopher Robert Murdock, Matthew Rubino

Patent number: 10237642Abstract: Rechargeable wireless earphone systems and charging cases are disclosed. The rechargeable charging case, which doubles as a storage case for the earphone components, includes externally accessible charging ports adapted to charge the rechargeable battery contained therein as well as for charging other electronic devices. The earphones are configured such that they may be used even when charging or when the earphone system battery is depleted. An alignment and positioning mechanism is provided to align and electrically connect charging contacts of a controller housing of the earphone system with charging contacts provided in the charging case to better secure and facilitate the charging process when the controller is received within the charging case. Reversibly detachable ear hooks and ear canal plugs are uniquely designed and configured to be independently attached to the earphone housing and compliantly adjustable to the desired shape for user comfort.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: ZAGG Amplified, Inc.Inventors: John Craig Cheney, Robert Murdock, Christian Bao Macias

Patent number: 7234479Abstract: A water hydrant for suppling potable water from a water source has an internal movable riser contained within a housing that extends beneath the ground to a depth below which freezing temperatures cannot reach. A chamber housing located at a distal end of the hydrant, beneath the frost line, contains a valve which may be actuated by the moving riser to provide a flow of water from the water source and through the riser. The chamber housing is configured to receive residual water from the riser when the flow of water has been shut off by the valve and to store the water beneath the frost line under sanitary conditions. A piston is disposed on a distal end of the riser, is slidably disposed within the chamber housing, and moves with the riser to expel water from the chamber housing when a handle of the hydrant is subsequently moved to reopen the valve.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Murdock, Inc.Inventor: Robert A.

Publication number: 20050157860Abstract: A user interface for screen phones monitors telephone line state information and displays user interface controls and telephone line status information dependent on the telephone line state. The user interface includes a display element referred to as a call slip that expands and collapses in response to changes in telephone line state and user input. The call slip updates the information that it displays based on telephone line state changes and information communicated from one or more telephony monitoring applications. The call slip displays user interface controls representing tasks that are dependent on information derived from a telephone call, such as caller ID information. The software used to control the display of call slips and to monitor telephone line state is part of a software platform that may be customized for a particular device or application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Charles Schnarel, Mauricio Lomelin, Peter Chin, Derek Graham, Kate Welker, Robert Murdock, Justin Cooper, Laurence Golding, Suzanne Walsh
