Patent number: 11945330Abstract: Systems and methods may coordinate and provide bidirectional energy transfer events between electrified vehicles and households or other structures, such as for supporting transient loads associated with the households/structures, for example. Vehicle information, driving habit information, and household information may be leveraged for providing enhanced transient load capability controls that permit increased appliance usage without increasing energy costs. The proposed systems/methods may particularly allow for bidirectional energy transfer support of high load appliances for increasing a user's comfort, pleasure, and convenience.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Stuart C.

Patent number: 10779689Abstract: A shower attachment to keep steam within a bathroom shower includes a plurality of telescopic rods, a first dome panel, a second dome panel, at least one inner fastener, and at least one outer fastener. The plurality of telescopic rods is mounted opposite of each other and functions as a framing structure. The first dome panel and the second dome panel are slidably positioned offset of each other to fit within opposing walls of a bathroom shower. The first dome panel and the second dome panel are terminally mounted to each other by the at least one inner fastener and the at least one outer fastener so that the first dome panel and the second dome panel can position atop the plurality of telescopic rods. Resultantly, the first dome panel and the second dome panel are able to trap the steam vapor within a bathroom shower.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Inventors: Ryan Howard, Melissa Howard, John Hradisky

Publication number: 20190043616Abstract: In various embodiments, a personal emergency detection, notification, coordination and response method and system for individuals is disclosed. A monitoring device, for example a digital smart watch, is configured to identify an emergency using built-in sensors. The sensors are operable to perform spectral analysis of skin tissues. Example sensors include: LEDs and optical detectors for heart rate monitoring, blood perfusion checking, and tissue oxygenation checking; acceleration sensing to sense falls and accidents; and a GPS system for reporting the location of the wearer to interested parties. A communication chip with an associated antenna, and an audio chip are also included. Deviations in vital signs are used to detect health anomalies. By aggregating data that is anonymously collected from multiple users, the system constructs models that are compared with data from a specific user, to warn the user before an emergency occurs, for certain classes of health incidents.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Ryan Howard, Brian Boarini, Lawrence Stone, Christopher Bumgardner, Steven Szabados

Publication number: 20170330438Abstract: A life alert system which continually monitors a subject's heart rate via a wearable device such as a smart watch and automatically alerts call center personnel to engage emergency responders in the event of a cardiac incident, and provide the location of the subject. In response to measured physiological parameters, besides alerting the call center the watch attempts to communicate with the subject. After an emergency responder has been dispatched, the watch also displays medical information about the subject, providing an electronic “medic alert” bracelet function.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Ryan Howard, Lawrence Stone, Brian Boarini

Publication number: 20130297332Abstract: A health care practice management system is used to store, update and access data regarding patients of practitioners such as doctors and staff. The health care practice management system provides access to collections of data for research by data miners based on such aspects as type of patient condition, patient class, or type of patient treatment. The health care practice management system also provides a vehicle to message targeted groups of individuals, namely, practitioners, patients, and miners of the practice data. The health care practice management system can be distributed to users through a reduced cost arrangement that is support through contributions from third parties by sponsoring messages to be displayed through the system to users.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Ryan HOWARD

Patent number: 8136514Abstract: An archery or similar projectile launching device having a spring assembly to energize the device and a release mechanism to transmit energy stored within a torsion or alternative spring to the bowstring, so as to accelerate an arrow nocked to the bowstring once the trigger is released. In one embodiment, conjoined cranks wind a torsion spring within a spring motor affixed along the riser of the bow while the bowstring and arrow are concurrently brought into the discharge position. A mechanical advantage may be achieved with the cranking mechanism to reduce the effort exerted by the archer and thereby increase accuracy, velocity and ease of use.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: JRH Industries, LLCInventors: Jack Ryan Howard, Patrick L.

Publication number: 20100083255Abstract: Batching messages such as notifications intended for a user to preserve battery life on a computing device associated with the user. A server such as a proxy server receives the messages from one or more service providers. The proxy server maintains a state of the user. If the state indicates that the user is idle, the messages are stored at the proxy server unless the messages correspond to activating messages. The activating messages are sent to the user upon receipt. The stored messages are sent when the state changes to an active state or when a defined duration of time elapses. In some embodiments, the messages are presence notifications in an instant messaging session on a mobile computing device. By reducing the frequency of sent notifications, the battery life of the mobile computing device is preserved.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ryan Howard Bane, Jon ChangZheng Xu, Oliver Bruno Colbert
