Patent number: 10230845Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for customized communication routing based on user information. When a presence of a first user is detected on a pre-designated webpage of a plurality of webpages of a website, attribute information of the first user is obtained in response to the detected presence and the pre-designated webpage is dynamically modified to display a communication routing option based on the attribute information of the first user. The communication routing option displayed to the first user is different from a communication routing option displayed to a second user having different attribute information. The routing option available to the second user is hidden from display to the first user.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Christopher Dinardo, Axel Wells, Thomas Norman

Patent number: 9948780Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for customized communication routing based on user information. When a presence of a first user is detected on a pre-designated webpage of a plurality of webpages of a website, account information of the first user is retrieved in response to the detected presence and the pre-designated webpage is dynamically modified to present a communication routing option based on the account information of the first user. The communication routing option presented to the first user is different from a communication routing option presented to a second user having different account information.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Christopher Dinardo, Axel Wells, Thomas Norman

Patent number: 9820862Abstract: A device is provided including a distal nail portion and a proximal nail portion that can be connected to each other to attain a rigid configuration. The device is to be placed internally within the medullary cavities of bones. The device is placed intramedullarily in order to minimize incision size, excessive bone resection and post-operative tendon damage and tenderness. Additionally, one particular method for using the device is provided that includes placing and affixing the distal nail in bone, placing the proximal nail in bone, connecting the distal nail to the proximal nail, doing the desired geometrical adjustments, affixing the proximal nail to the distal nail by tightening the connection and affixing the proximal nail to attain a rigid configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Skeletal Dynamics LLCInventors: Jorge L. Orbay, Thomas Norman, Juan Salcedo, Ronald Litke

Publication number: 20050273978Abstract: Means to create a friction restraint between the interlocking leaves of a hinge. The outer surface of the hinge pin shaft is in contact with the inner surface of the interlocking elements. Friction is generated between the contacting surfaces through a motion resistive material comprising the outside surface of the hinge pin shaft, the inner surface of the knuckle, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2005Publication date: December 15, 2005Inventor: Thomas Norman

Patent number: 6478236Abstract: An agricultural sprayer for spraying a mixture of a carrier liquid and at least one active ingredient, and including a carrier liquid container, at least one active ingredient container for containing the active ingredient in concentrated form, a mixing chamber for mixing the carrier liquid with the active ingredient, at least one active ingredient feed line between the at least one active ingredient container and the mixing chamber and a carrier liquid feed line between the carrier liquid container and the mixing chamber, a boom structure having at least one nozzle connected with said mixing chamber for spraying the mixture of the active ingredient and the carrier liquid, and means for generating and discharging a flow of gas under pressure. The sprayer has connecting means that allow gas low communication between said means for generating and discharging a flow of gas under pressure and said at least one container for receiving an active ingredient.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Hardi International A/SInventors: Thomas Norman, Jørgen Bo Mørch Secher
