Patent number: 9971509Abstract: A chassis management controller includes a root file system, a shared memory, a daemon process module, and an interposer library. The root file system includes a plurality of directories associated with firmware applications of the chassis management controller. The daemon process module is configured to read the parameters of the directories, and to create, in the shared memory, a table including parameters of the directories. The interposer library is configured to intercept an input/output library call for an operation associated with one of the firmware applications, to read table entries associated the one or the firmware applications, to determine whether the operation associated with the input/output library call would result in an over-allocation of a parameter in the entries of the table, and if the operation would not result in the over-allocation, pass the output operation to a standard system library, otherwise to return an out of space error message.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS, LPInventors: Timothy T. Murphy, Suneet Chandok

Patent number: 9939193Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for storage in a refrigerated appliance. One aspect includes glides or slides underneath and within the bottom perimeter dimensions of any bin or bin carrier relative to its supporting structure in the refrigerated appliance. This allows adjacent bins to more efficiently utilize lateral storage space in the refrigerator. It also promotes hiding of the glide or slides from view.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: James W. Kendall, Michael C. Lah, Timothy T. Murphy, Todd J. Tunzi

Publication number: 20180031310Abstract: A shelf for supporting items including but not limited to in refrigerated appliances includes in an integrated fashion a supporting surface and around the perimeter of the supporting surface of similar dimensions. A lighting subassembly is mountable to or integrated in the framing. Electrical power can be through touchless or contact electrical communication. In one form the supporting surface is a single substantially clear plate. In another form the supporting surface is a thin glass top layer and a bottom layer overmolded with the framing to the thin glass top layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: James W. Kendall, Matthew P. Ebrom, Eric Andrew Hill, Timothy T. Murphy, Hari Nair, Brian N. Radford

Patent number: 9079099Abstract: A gaming accessory for use with a video display used with a target shooting game in which a user shoots targets in a game displayed on the video display includes, among other things, an illuminator positioned with respect to the video display in register with a preselected location of the shots appearing on the video display. Additionally, the gaming accessory has at least one power terminal interconnected with the illuminator and is adapted to be operably interconnected with a power source so that, when the power source is connected to the power terminal, power can be supplied to the illuminator and the illuminator can provide a highly-visible target on the video display to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: AIRDROP GAMING, LLCInventors: Timothy T.
