Patent number: 10943189Abstract: A method and system for reserving seating at a venue using a band system associated with rentable seating, the band system comprising a retractable band, controller, user interface, and sensors to detect band position or tampering or unauthorized use of the seating. A closed position indicates the seating may be available for rental, subject to prior reservations, and an open position indicates the seating is not available for rental. Requested reservations or rental time are compared to prior reservations to determine if seating is available for rental. An alert is initiated if tampering or unauthorized use is detected or a rental period ends and the band is still in the open position. Optionally, goods or services may be ordered by a user renting seating, orders and alerts monitored, and a user's rental activity may be tracked for rewards or limitation purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Inventor: Thomas Callahan

Publication number: 20170022734Abstract: Currently, people at a public or private location wishing to store their valuables have limited options. They may use a token locker where a coin-shaped token is inserted into and retained by the locking device, allowing the release of a locking key. They may use a similar electronic version of the token locker. In some cases, they may have to bring their own lock or even a separate private locker to store their valuables. The standard token requires a new token to be inserted each time the door is opened and leaves the location unable to track the duration of use. Electronic devices can be expensive and require a source of electricity. Bringing a lock or entire lock box is cumbersome. The solution is a process whereby a universal key is used in place of a token. This universal key, as a token would do, releases a unique locking key from the locker. The universal key, labeled for tracking, is borrowed for use at the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventor: Thomas Callahan, III

Patent number: 8869872Abstract: A method of forming a mold for use in the casting of a steel railway freight car truck component is provided. A cope mold is formed by providing a near net shape oversize impression of a cope pattern of a product to be cast in a flask. A cope pattern of the product to be cast is then placed on the flask forming a spacing between the cope pattern and the oversize impression. A resin coated sand is then blown to form a sand layer between the oversized impression in the flask and the cope pattern. The resin sand is set to form a mold of a thickness between the oversized impression in the flask and the cope pattern of the product to be cast. The drag mold is formed in a similar manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Amsted Rail Company, Inc.Inventors: Tony Bauer, Thomas Callahan
