Patent number: 12158850Abstract: A control device may include a processor may include a core, a timer peripheral, and a peripheral direct memory access controller. The processor may include a receive port coupled to a communication port of the reporting device via a communication line. The control device may include a timer peripheral that can generate an enable signal and a timing signal, and a buffer circuit that may include an enable port for the enable signal for enabling/disabling the buffer circuit, an input port for the timing signal, and an output port coupled to the communication line. The processor may enable/disable the buffer circuit to control the timing of data bit(s) transmission across the communication line by the reporting device. The peripheral direct memory access controller may store the data bit(s) in a receive buffer during the bit period, and the core may subsequently retrieve the data bit(s) from the receiver buffer.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventors: Andrew Karl Cooney, Devin N.

Publication number: 20200054135Abstract: The invention is directed to an intensive use furniture component having a sealing connection on a mounting surface for sealingly attaching to a floor or wall to prevent liquid from seeping under or behind the furniture component. The furniture component is formed by an outer shell having a side wall extending generally perpendicular to the mounting surface. A mounting flange is disposed adjacent the sidewall. A bolt hole is formed in the mounting flange. The sealing connection comprises a caulk channel formed as a channel in the mounting surface for receiving a bead of caulk to fill the seam between the mounting surface and the wall or floor to prevent fluid from seeping past the caulk channel to a space adjacent the interior mounting surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2018Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: Norix Group, Inc.Inventors: Richard Karl, Scott Karl, Kurt Staskon

Patent number: 10349764Abstract: A reversible pillow includes a plurality of cut foam pieces enclosed between a first external fabric layer of the pillow and an internal mesh layer. A second external fabric layer is coupled to the first external fabric layer and the internal mesh layer. An aperture opening into a space between the second external fabric layer and the internal mesh layer provides access into the interior of the pillow, and a flap closure extends over the aperture. To shift the pillow from a normal-use state, in which the mesh layer is between the first and second external fabric layers, to a wash-ready state in which the first external fabric layer is positioned between the second external fabric layer and the mesh layer, a user reaches through the aperture and pulls the pillow inside out.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Inventor: Scott Karl Rochlin

Publication number: 20170055737Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a pillow with reversible core and its original embodiment of a removable core, that both includes a plurality of cut foam pieces of various or similar shapes/sizes. The pillow may include an outer shell that reverses to pen the pillow core to mesh netting or a secondary inner shell case (i.e., the removable core). The outer shell case may be made of a plurality of layers, including a backing layer positioned between an external layer and an internal layer. As a reversible case, the embodiment has no removable inner core, but a reversible core. The reversible embodiment is much easier and less expensive to manufacture and wash. The backing layer may comprise a foam material. As an embodiment with a removable core, the internal layer and the inner shell case may comprise an open mesh material. As a reversible case, the core pulls out and is stuffed back inside, while being held together by mesh netting.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventor: Scott Karl Rochlin
