  • Patent number: 11193275
    Abstract: A wall panel storage system includes a looped element and a motor for driving the looped element. A plurality of spacers are attached to the looped element with at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers being configured to fit vertically or be inserted between a pair of panels to move a panel of the pair of panels into or out of a storage area along a storage track when the motor drives the looped element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10465383
    Abstract: A wall panel storage device includes a looped element and a motor for driving the looped element. A plurality of spacers is attached to the looped element with at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers being configured to fit between a pair of panels to move a panel of the pair of panels into or out of a storage area when the motor drives the looped element. According to one aspect, a wall panel storage system includes a first wall panel storage device adjacent a first track and a second wall panel storage device adjacent a second track. According to another aspect, the wall panel storage system includes a corner drive mechanism with a contact element configured to contact a wall panel to change a direction of travel of the wall panel as the contact element runs along a curved guide.

  • Patent number: 10196815
    Abstract: At least one panel including a trolley is fed to a first drive mechanism of a plurality of drive mechanisms adjacent a main track configured to engage the trolley of the at least one panel. The first drive mechanism is initiated to drive the at least one panel to a second drive mechanism of the plurality of drive mechanisms to move the at least one panel farther along the main track.

  • Patent number: 7941172
    Abstract: Frames received on a first link of a channel are grouped or queued for later processing in a batch or batch mode. Power control instructions included with the frames are examined, and a history of predetermined length is kept. Frames to be transmitted on a second link of the channel are also batched for later handling in batch. Power control bits are generated for the frames, based at least in part on the history kept, in a manner that effectuates a slowing of responding to the incoming power control instructions.

  • Patent number: 7164907
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting a peripheral device in communication with a wireless device, such as a wireless telephone, and requesting a driver for the peripheral from a remote server via a wireless communications network. After the driver is received and installed, the wireless device checks automatically for availability of a new version of the driver from the remote server. If there is a new version, the new driver will be downloaded to the wireless handheld device.

  • Patent number: 7009999
    Abstract: A determination of a coding rate dependent on the size of data frames previously coded or the space remaining for data frames. A variable rate coder creates a data frame. The rate of the variable rate coder is set by examining the amount of space remaining in a data packet, which is at least partially comprised of data frames produced by the variable rate coder. Alternatively examining the amount of space used by previous data frame(s) may set the rate of the variable rate coder.
