Patent number: 10652042Abstract: A dual-mode controller may include a communication interface between a handheld electronic device and subsystems on a computing bus or network. The dual-mode controller may operate in a “master mode” when a user directly manipulates the dual-mode controller to communicate with any subsystem(s). In this mode, the dual-mode controller may serve as a master controller and accesses and controls various subsystems on the bus or network (such as engine control subsystems, location positioning systems, navigation systems, sensors and transducers) as a master controller. In a slave mode, the interface may act as an adapter or interface between the handheld device and the subsystems.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Keystone Integrations LLCInventors: David Lieberman, Robert Turgeon, Byron Tietjen, Greg Gardella

Patent number: 8781656Abstract: A vehicular interface may include an electromechanical interface between a handheld electronic device and subsystems on a vehicular bus or network. In selected embodiments the interface may operate in a “master mode” when a handheld device, such as a tablet computer or smart-phone, is not inserted therein. In this mode the interface may serve as a master controller and accesses and controls various subsystems on a vehicle (such as engine control subsystems, media controllers, navigation systems, sensors and transducers) as a master controller. In one embodiment, when a tablet device is inserted into the interface, the interface may automatically switch to “slave mode” in which it acts as an adapter or interface between the tablet device and the vehicular subsystems. In this mode of operation the user's exclusive interface is through the tablet computer and the tablet computer serves as the master controller for the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Nordic Capital Partners, LLCInventors: David Lieberman, Robert Turgeon, Byron Tietjen, Greg Gardella

Patent number: 6613960Abstract: The present invention relates to DNA promoters which, in nature, drive expression of an enzyme of the raffinose family oligosaccharide pathway and are capable of inducing expression of a protein encoded by a DNA molecule operably associated with such promoters. These DNA promoters cause the protein to be expressed in minor vein phloem of a mature plant leaf, with substantially no expression of the protein elsewhere in the leaf of the plant. The present invention also relates to the use of such DNA promoters in transgenic plants or plant seeds.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2000Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Cornell Research Foundation, Inc.Inventor: E.
