Patent number: 11683361Abstract: Systems and methods to asynchronously transfer user-provided information upon user-provided permissions are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may receive a user-initiated request for one or more webpages from a user associated with a client computing platform; transfer a set of information to the client computing platform, wherein the set of information is usable to generate one or more presentations of the one or more webpages on the client computing platform; receive, from the client computing platform, user-provided information, wherein the user-provided information is based on a first item of user-provided personal information and on a second item of user-provided personal information that have been collected locally through the one or more presentations on the client computing platform, and wherein server-side receipt of the user-provided information occurs subsequent to the user providing permission for the transfer of the user-provided information; and/or other steps.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Permissionize LLCInventors: Shannon Hansen, Thomas Cutshall

Publication number: 20210129584Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bicycle hub that provides improved drive line efficiency and bike-to-rider torque feedback. The drive line efficiencies are due to lower rolling resistance resulting from a novel bearing and sprag clutch configuration, a lightweight design, and immediate torque transfer from the cassette drive to the hub body. The bike-to-rider feedback has been improved as the torque transfer is smooth, predictable, and immediate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: Christianson Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jim Gerhardt, Shannon Hansen

Publication number: 20200079152Abstract: A sprag clutch based freehub system that has an easily swappable free hub portion is provided. The freehub system uses a cassette driver adapter shaft (also referred herein as “driver”) that is positioned within the hub. The cassette driver adapter shaft (driver) and freehub body have a separable interface. This allows for easy interchanging of freehub bodies by the user while not risking contamination or damage to the hub.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Applicant: Christianson Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jim Gerhardt, Shannon Hansen, Daniel Orellana

Patent number: 10587674Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling in which order elements of a set of displayable content are transferred via an online connection are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may receive a client-initiated request from a client computing platform for a webpage, and, responsive to receipt of the client-initiated request, transfer to the client computing platform a set of information that includes displayable content, a set of content locations, and executable content configured to be executed by the client computing platform. Execution of the executable content may include transmitting, from the client computing platform, one or more executable-initiated requests for one or more transfers of elements of displayable content to the client computing platform. An executable-initiated request may be initiated by the executable content. Upon completion of the requested transfers, the transferred elements are presented on the client computing platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Katomy Holdings LLCInventor: Shannon Hansen

Patent number: 10119579Abstract: Forward movement of a bicycle results when force is transfer from the chain or belt to a sprocket on a cassette. The cassette is splined to the cassette driver and causes the wheel of the bike to rotate when torque is applied from the cassette to the cassette driver. The cassette driver is typically made of a strong hard material such as steel to withstand the forces in parted thereon by the cassette. The present disclosure provide a hub configuration and method that enables the cassette driver to be made with construction of a lighter weight material such as aluminum yet still withstand the toque applied thereto.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Christianson Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jim Gerhardt, Shannon Hansen, Patrick Robert Jensen
