Publication number: 20250104537Abstract: A cash trapping monitor apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a monitor printed circuit board (PCB) interposed between a shutter assembly PCB and a dispenser/recycler PCB. The monitor PCB is connected/interfaced to a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor and an ultrasonic sensor both of which are situated behind a shutter blade in a media chute of a media handling device. Blade states reported by the shutter are changed by the monitor PCB before reporting to the dispenser/recycler PCB when distance measurements provided by the sensors indicate a cash trapping device is present in the chute, indicate that the shutter blade is missing, and/or indicate an original shutter blade was replaced with a different shutter blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Shannon Louise McGrath, Alexander William Whytock, Barry James Allen, Dyllon Charles William Dodds, Conor Michael Fyfe, Greg Robert Harrison

Patent number: 12207690Abstract: The present invention provides shirts, such as shirts that are worn as work uniform shirts, which are configured to provide significant improvements in a wearer's comfort, performance, and mobility over a predefined range of motions. Embodiments of the shirts comprise one or more stretch panels that are configured to provide for stretching of the shirt at an identified micro site in order to provide a wearer with enhanced mobility. In other embodiments, the manner in which the various portions of the shirt are shaped and connected together, and specifically the connection between the sleeve and the rear panel of the shirt, may be adjusted in order to provide a wearer with enhanced mobility.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: WORKWEAR OUTFITTERS, LLCInventors: David Griffin, Dianne Tatara, Amber Roberts, Shannon North

Patent number: 11471378Abstract: An artificial nipple is formed of an elastomeric polymer by use of 3D printing after imaging of a mother's breast in an active state of lactation. The artificial nipple used as an attachment to a baby bottle or as the nipple component of a pacifier. Use of an artificial nipple formed in this manner mitigates a problem with nipple confusion, as may otherwise manifest in newborn offspring.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: DENSLOJAC, LLCInventors: Maura J.

Patent number: 10488062Abstract: A building control system that uses geofencing in conjunction with a time-based schedule when control one or more building systems. In one example, geofencing may be used to determine if the building is occupied or unoccupied. If the building is determined to be unoccupied via geofencing, the building controller may control to an unoccupied setpoint. If the building is determined to be occupied via geofencing, the HVAC controller may control in accordance with a time-based schedule.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: David Quam, Sara Slate, Ted Booth, Shannon Roberts, Jason Tiefenauer, Dan Tran
