Robert Rector has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7793615
    Abstract: A cover that attracts pet hair and other debris, while covering a table, chair, pet bed, or other item. The cover prevents moisture from penetrating completely through it, as it has a second surface to ensure that whatever it covers remains dry. Conventional means of attachment ensures that the present invention, which is biodegradable, can be held securely during use but can be easily attached and removed when desired.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2010
    Inventors: Robert Rector, Ronda Smith Rector

  • Patent number: 6301308
    Abstract: Systems and methods for high speed data transfer that are capable of transferring a vast amount of data in very little bandwidth using current technology are disclosed. The systems employ a plurality of substantially phase continuous waveforms comprised of a plurality of events. Each event is preferably formed by either a positive or negative half period sinusoidal signal with a duration that varies between some minimum and maximum value to encode a data word on each event of the waveform. The event width variations are typically small to maintain a small frequency variation for each individual waveform. In order to allow a receiver to detect the very small time differential between different event widths, a pilot tone is also placed in the waveform. In a receiver, this pilot tone is recovered and used to phase lock the receiver clock, which typically operates at much much greater frequency than the pilot tone.
