Patent number: 9892615Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus, systems, and methods for soiled garment detection and notification. The method may include receiving a measure of odor being released from a garment from a soiled garment detection apparatus. The method may further include determining that the measure of odor exceeds an acceptable odor threshold. A message may then be sent to a user device associated with the garment (e.g. a device of the owner of the garment) in response to determining that the measure of odor exceeds the threshold. The message may include a notification that the garment is soiled, and a suggested course of action to improve the measure of odor released by the garment.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Dane Glasgow, Corinne Elizabeth Sherman, David Ramadge, Timothy Carlson, Sergio Pinzon Gonzales, Jr.

Publication number: 20170217634Abstract: The invention includes a scalable, modular interlocking container with a multi-purpose use. Vertical and horizontal interconnectivity are achieved through interlocking mechanisms. An exemplary first use is for transporting and/or storing liquids or solids that can be poured. An exemplary second use is for a sturdy, low cost, easily assembled building block material of a standardized nature. Each modular unit slide-locks with other units to form strong wall and building structures that can be filled with natural earth, sand or other such materials, thereby forming a sturdy structure without the use of mortar, and can adapt to uneven base surfaces typically found in natural terrain.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2016Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: Friendship Products LLCInventors: B. Everett Hendrickson, Timothy Carlson, A. Irene Hendrickson

Publication number: 20160189274Abstract: A system may include a feature detector, an information gatherer, a trend identifier, a fashion database, a preference identifier, and a recommendation engine. The feature detector may analyze images including visual data showing apparel. The feature detector may determine characteristics of the apparel. The information gatherer may identify non-visual data related to the images and may derive non-visual details related to the apparel. The trend identifier may identify defined trends embodied by the apparel based on the characteristics of the apparel. The fashion database may store and categorize fashion metrics of the apparel, including the characteristics, the defined trends, and the non-visual details related to the apparel. The preference identifier may identify fashion preferences of a customer. The recommendation engine may present a fashion recommendation to the customer based at least in part on a comparison of the fashion preferences of the customer and the fashion metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2014Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Matthew MacLaurin, Timothy Carlson, Corinne Sherman, Bria Selhorst, David Ramadge

Publication number: 20160031148Abstract: Described are a mold and molding process for manufacturing devices and containers that are scalable, modular, and lockable laterally and vertically with other like devices or containers. The mold is formed with a cup mold and top end mold sections specially designed to allow for molding and demolding a container with an undercut. The cup mold includes, on a vertical wall, one or more undercuts. Multiple undercuts may further form tongues with undercuts each of which forms a groove with undercuts on the molded article, and/or one or more grooves with undercuts each of which form a tongue with undercuts in the molded article. Molding and Demolding of the article with undercuts is further enabled by utilizing an improved method of molding said article with an undercut, and demolding said article from the mold once it is molded, by improvements to each stage of the molding process, including the preform stage, the conditioning station stage, the blow stage and the release stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Applicant: Friendship Products LLCInventors: B.
