Patent number: 9393536Abstract: A paint dispensing apparatus having a housing with a turntable rotatably mounted to the housing about a vertical axis. A plurality of stations on the turntable are circumferentially spaced from each other and each station is adapted to receive a paint dispenser having a plunger in which movement of the plunger dispenses paint from the paint dispenser. An indexing drive, upon activation, rotates the turntable to sequentially position the stations at a dispensing position. When at the dispensing position, an actuator mounted to the housing mechanically engages the plunger of the paint dispenser positioned at the dispensing station. A receptacle is mounted to the housing beneath the turntable and aligned with the dispensing position.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Dedoes Industries, Inc.Inventors: Scott Boboltz, Scott A.

Publication number: 20130325435Abstract: A device may be configured to enable a user to select a language, and may fulfill resource requests from applications by selecting, from among resources respectively associated with a language, a resource associated with the selected language of the user. However, this resource selection process may be inadequate if the user selects multiple languages; if a resource associated with the selected language of the user is unavailable, but resources associated with related languages are available; or if the user and/or the application specifies an ordering for the selection among the languages. Presented herein are techniques for performing the resource selection by, for respective languages selected by the user, calculating a weight representing a suitability of the language for the resource request; generating a selection order of the selected languages according to the weights; and selecting a resource based on the position of the associated language in the selection order.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Rylan Michael Hawkins, Eric Scott Albright, Nicholas A.

Publication number: 20130326347Abstract: Language selection and application within a computing environment are often distributed over and differently applied by the operating system and various applications, leading to additional administration, inconsistencies in the user experience based on different language feature implementations among different applications; and increased cost and redundancy in developing language features for different applications. Presented herein are techniques for configuring a device with an application language library that centralizes the selection of languages by the user, and that provides a wide variety of language features (e.g., text translation, user interface adaptation, and data formats) to the applications and operating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eric Scott Albright, Nicholas A. Beal, Peter Geoffrey Constable, Wade H. Curtiss, Erik Fortune, Andrew Stuart Glass, Samuel Aaron Beard

Publication number: 20100104927Abstract: A vehicle includes a body adapted to carry passengers or cargo, an electric engine/motor, and a temperature-controlled battery configuration. The battery configuration includes a casing, and a plurality of alternating Lithium-ion cell packs and spacers defining vertical channels, the spacers supporting the cell packs in a hanging manner in the casing. The casing is flooded with a thermally-conductive electrically-insulating fluid flowing from the inlet under the cell packs, upwardly across the cell packs and out an outlet to a heat exchanger for controlling a temperature of the cell packs. A fluid pump connected to the engine/motor and a heat exchanger pumps the liquid through the system. A controller is provided for controlling the pump and fluid flow to control a temperature of the battery configuration to maintain the temperature in a desired temperature range.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2009Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventor: Scott Albright

Patent number: 6773318Abstract: The present invention provides a personal floatation device comprising a back floatation package extending horizontally, latitudinally (when worn) across an upper back shoulder portion of the vest from an upper right back shoulder portion to an upper left back shoulder portion. The back floatation package of the present invention has a lower edge that extends horizontally (latitudinally) from a rear left-arm mid-sleeve position to a rear right-arm mid-sleeve position. The present invention further comprises a back non-floatation anchoring means that is connected to the lower edge of the back floatation package. The back non-floatation anchoring means extends vertically (longitudinally) from the lower edge of the back floatation package to a waist of the vest. In various embodiments, the back non-floatation anchoring means may comprise a panel of material, a panel of mesh material, a configuration of straps, either adjustable or non-adjustable, or other anchoring means.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Lotus Designs, Inc.Inventor: Scott Albright
